I can’t seem to update my original thread but I was in a spin because I keep having urges to poop that came on very rapidly; I’ve been having feelings of hot, trapped wind and then seconds later I had to poop and couldn’t hold it. Predominantly in the mornings. Not diarrhoea, just soft poop.
This could go on for a few days then I may have a day of not pooping but sometimes Feeling like poop was there.And then the next day, Boom, Trapped wind and 3 minutes later desperately trying to get to the toilet.
I posted in here asking about kegels. For some reason I didn’t think it could be related to constipation.
An update. After a spike in anxiety I rang my GP, and was obviously in enough of a state on the phone to the usually unhelpful receptionist to get a same day call back.
As I’m either having the “wind then need run to the toilet all in 3 minutes” or “not going at all, feeling like I could go but nothing happening and my stomach bubbling all day” and there’s no pattern or predictability the GP thinks I’m in an IBS and constipation cycle.
I have been told to take a sachet of movicol in the evening if I don’t go in that day.
I just want to feel normal again. Im bubbling stomach today so will take movicol tonight if nothing happens; I’m finding it very stressful. I’m worried about things like taking my DD out for a walk as it could happen when we’re out. What if I can’t get sorted and this is it, how could I take DD to playgroup and swimming if I’m worried about my bowels...
Anyone been on this journey and can offer me hope. Thank you.
