Dealing with IBS Symptoms: Seeking Advice

been there!! and coffee sets me off too. It’s awful :(

I’ve actually had this happen a lot they say because of the position that we sit in the toilet you can experience Vasovagal symptoms which makes you feel like you’re having a panic attack and create that feel like you’re gonna pass out. I highly recommend to everyone Scotty potty because the position up where you place your feet is highly important. I’ve had the symptoms since I was kids and have passed out from them. I’m supposed to have an EDG but am too anxious every time it comes up or have something I can’t miss.

I'm sorry you go through that😥 After eating certain foods I get extremely bad pain in my lower abdomen that feels like labor contractions and I feel like I'm going to pass out until it goes away but it always comes back every few minutes, it comes in waves. I've had 2 kids and it feels pretty much exactly like that. I don't get diarrhea that often but it's much more than I used to and since my symptoms started I have always had softer stool and every day I get the urgent need to go and I usually cut it really close. Yesterday at the grocery store I barely made it to the bathroom on time. I don't struggle to poop, it just comes on suddenly and comes out way too fast. I almost shit myself daily. I also tend to get really nauseous during eating. I have to have a bowel movement after every meal now and my pain isn't during using the bathroom, it's an extreme cramping pain right after eating that lasts a couple hours on and off.
