IBS and Piles

Sorry for tmi

over what feels like the last 6 months, I went from doing a regular, healthy poo that would take me no more than 10 minutes on the toilet to having big ones after feeling ‘blocked up’ that can take double the time. Also once I start wiping, it takes far more toilet paper than it did before to become clean. It feels like I’m never clean now. I know IBS can spring on people suddenly, I’ve been to the GP but no luck so just a bit lost (tried FODMAP etc)

No you are ok, I’d only wish people would talk more about the back end.
Just upset a poster in a big supermarket ladies toilets near where I visit my friend looks like someone has tried to take down.

After taking samples myself with a 2nd GP who’d kind of listen more I’m on an urgent pathway to camera investigations. Forget reclaim the streets, I just want to reclaim my stomach.

So many bowel related conditions out there. Please revisit your doctors surgery seeing a different doctor.

When is your colonoscopy? Do you get constipated?
