Does this sound like IBS? Advice please

[sleepydays]

TMI, sorry, but I could really use some advice please.

For the last two weeks, I've been dealing with diarrhea every morning, which is followed by stomach cramps and nausea. It usually lasts a few hours and then goes away. I feel okay before I go to the toilet, but afterwards, I start feeling sick and in pain. My appetite is normal and I feel okay after eating. I initially thought it might be a stomach bug, but now I'm not so sure. I did a quick search online and saw IBS mentioned, but it said those symptoms usually happen before using the toilet, not after? Has anyone else experienced this? Should I consider calling my GP on Monday?

If it has been a while now, contact your gp. You will probably be asked to provide a stool sample for analysis, and to hopefully rule out any nasties. Possible blood test too. They may well tell you it is ibs and to avoid certain foods or do a food diary for triggers. Are you stressed or anxious currently?

Go to your GP. Do not take advice on this from the internet. It could be any one of a number of things, from fairly mild to extremely serious. Go to the doctor.
