Well, they seem to think so. I was looking for similar purposes. My back has been really bad lately, and, a worsening of back pain seemed to coincide with bad bouts of diarrhoea. So I googled.......!

Oh VVV.

It is terrible coping with chronic pain

Mum has myasthenia gravis a horrid neuromuscular disease and IBS.Her IBS really gets her down

She is a positive person and jokes that everywhere she goes she needs to know exactly where the nearest toilet is.Really,though,it isn't funny for her.

I'm not too badly off. Been worse the last few months with the back pain but I'm hoping the MRI scan will shed some light on the nerve problems. I can cope with the diarrhoea. Although tonight at the cinema it was a bit touch and go

My mum has Diverticular disease and IBS and it's awful for her.

I really feel for your mum, poor thing.

THat would explain a lot tbh

I suffer with back pain and neuralgia in my left shoulder... which is why I am still awake at silly o'clock...

IBS is the pits is it not? Thankfully I've been OKish recently, good job really as dd has D&V and there is only one toilet in the house.
