I'm so fed up of it. For years I've had regular stomach aches and diarrhoea. Really bad, wake me up and keep me awake all night, strong cramps and horrible diarrhoea leaving me feeling weak and exhausted afterwards.
I can eat something and literally within half an hour have to run to the toilet, other times it comes on in the middle of the night and I'm on the toilet then for up to 2 hours.
I've started to connect it mostly to my menstrual cycle, it's usually but not always in the run up to or during my time of the month.
I also get strong stomach pain and what feels like trapped wind not connected to time of the month.
I'm so fed up with it, right now I've had a horrible stomach ache since last night but I feel weak and tired with it. Didn't sleep well as was so uncomfortable. It's only been a week since I had a bad stomach upset.
Sometimes I don't want to do things for example I've got a family meal tomorrow, but I can hardly say I don't want to go as I feel unwell with trapped wind, and I'm worried the food will set it off.
Is it even worth going to the doctors about something like this?
