Have NCd as I am very embarrassed that I have basically shat myself 3 times in the last couple of months.
I have been having some abdominal pain for a few months, loose stools but only going once a day. Had lost 3/4 of a stone over about a year but I run around after a toddler so that made sense. I'm veggie, teetotal, eat a lot of chocolate! GP did blood tests for liver, kidneys, thyroid, anaemia, coeliac, all came back okay so she diagnosed IBS. I take 40mg omeprazole, 40mg buscopan and 900 st johns wort (for anxiety) a day.
But 3 times now I have had bad diarrhoea and not got to the loo or even realised I needed to until too late - basically thought I had wind but it wasn't . Thankfully twice I was at home and once in the local High Street so shot home instantly. My anxiety about this happening is now sky high, I'm terrified it'll happen while I'm at work or somewhere else. It's the school holidays and I'm too scared to take my kids to the park or swimming, I feel like a crap mum and just don't know what to do to deal with this. Last time was yesterday, I hadn't eaten anything unusual or anything like that, I can't pinpoint why it's happening. Please can anyone suggest what's going on or how I can deal with it better?
