Struggling to Evacuate Loose Stool with IBS-D/M

hello, does anyone with IBS-D or M experience diarrhea that is really well, loose like diarrhea is, but have a hard time evacuating it? my stool is very loose at the moment, but it's only coming out little by little and it feels like I have more in there that just won't come out now matter how long I sit. sorry, if this is graphic, I just want to know if anyone else experiences this. thanks

Have they checked your pelvic floor to see if that’s the culprit? Sometimes with diarrhea, especially when it’s frequent, folks over work the muscles and it can make it hard to go!

I was thinking pelvic floor issues too. I have a lot of pelvic pain and have had two kids and never do kegals lol.

Holy cow, I'm literally going through this as we speak...SUPER bloated and constipated but when I do feel like I can go, it's like pencil thin loose stool 😫 I have literally tried everything to get it moving, but it's like my intestines are holding in tight.

yes! That is exactly how it feels! Ugh. And now I haven't gone in 2 days. Ugh. Hopefully I'll go today. Everything's gurgling. But the longer I've been sick, the more I have come to understand that gurgles don't mean shit. Thank you for your reply.
