Do IBS and Periods Have a Link?

Does anyone with IBS have extremely bad periods too? Do you think there’s a link between those two?

Yes! You should 100% look into endometriosis with a doctor. This same thing happened to me and endo can make IBS worse as well as grow on your colon and intestines, being confused with digestive issues!!

that’s so scary, I’ve always had a thought that I do have endo… before I got put on BC, I had terribly painful and irregular periods, it hurt to use the bathroom, I always felt a fullness in my lower stomach.. and I started my period at age 9 which puts me at a higher risk. Then I developed ibs. I went to the gyno and all they did was put me on birth control and didn’t even think to look into endometriosis… idk bruh 🤦🏼‍♀️
