I'm brand new here to this community,but for the past year I have had some off and on issues with my BM! In the morning I start out with a normal stool,but an hour or so later....it's game over. My stools get looser and looser,until it's just an orangish brown liquid! Now the past week,I've felt almost nauseous and just tired for most the day. I'm starting to try Pepogest and Ibgard,it seemed to work at first,but still having symptoms. My doctor says that if it continues,she'll refer me to a GI dr to have a colonoscopy. I'm 35,and I just know they're gonna tell me that it's IBS,and having the procedure done is not cheap! If it helps,I have Been diagnosed with Generalized anxiety and Over active bladder. I know these conditions don't make the IBS any better if it is indeed IbS! Can anybody with IBS please give me some peace of mind and tell me they experience the same symptoms as I do! And am I wrong to be treating myself as though I do have IBS by using peppermint oil and Ginger???
I'm sorry it was such a long question/commemt....but this whole situation is making me more of a hypochondriac rather than a normal person!
Ty for your responses if you care to leave any!
