I started having a real issue with my bowels a while ago and, as you do, buried my head in the sand.
I have frequent bouts of what I can only describe as constipated diarrhoea which has been going on for a while. This coincided with a sudden feeling of pain in the lower left area of my bowel before the rectum (sort of down into my hip) and whenever I feel it I can feel the poo sitting there and have to massage it through to relieve the pain. I then pass a hard stool followed by soft, then liquid diarrhoea. This happens anywhere from once a month to every two weeks and just goes in cycles.
I when looking into it I have identified that the cause could be IBS or IBD, or that it could be endometriosis, which I say because I am guaranteed to get a bout of this around my period, get so bloated I look pregnant and have severe cramping.
Can anyone share their symptoms of IBS or endometriosis, or describe what I s like I have both?
