Is this IBS

[racmac]

Think i may have IBS - just needed some opinions and i apologise if way tmi

I have for a long time needed to "go" more or less as soon as i get up in the morning and its a bit loose

But the last few weeks/months i have had few episodes of really really bad diarhea - to point where i have really bad tummy pain and need to go desperately.

I have put it down to eaten or drank something bad but its happening so often i dont think it can be.

What causes it?
Why would i suddenly get this?
Are headaches related?
What can i do to stop it?
Should i go to Dr?

Yes you should go to the dr. These symptons could be caused by any number of things.

I would definitely go to the docs. If nothing else, he will be able to rule out anything more serious and if it is IBS, can prescribe some anit-spasmodic drugs which may help.

I think i will go to GP when kids go back to school

it i s possibly food intolerance- have you thought about cutting out wheat to see if that helps?
