Is this an IBS symptom? Does anyone else get this?

[loopylou6]

Every morning, after being awake for 30 mins I have to go the toilet, Then I always have to go again. I dont mind that so much, But I also have stages where after eating a meal,within 20-30 mins I have to get quickly to the toilet and I have a really loose bowel movement.

Does anyone else get this?

I do. not much help sorry!
I did realised that soy and derivates were a problem and over ripe babanas. you might have to cut down what is not working for you. I don't think it is IBS but I have never asked anybody so I am interested in what other people have to say.

Thanks for your input mamaloco, lets keep this bumped

Have you tried an elimination diet as it sounds like a reaction to something you are eating.

Classic triggers are:

• Caffine
• Artifical Sweeteners (Aspartamine & Sacharine)
• Preservatives - Postasium Sorbate, Sodium Metabusulphate
• MSG
• Lactose
• Wheat (Gluten)

I personally have had problems with the sweeteners and perservatives as even on occasion diet coke on my skin can set me off with in minutes.

There is a great deal on information here

hi loopyloo

i have IBS and get this first thing in morning , i dont get it after food later in day but i do think that is quite common with other IBS sufferers , i get bloating tummy cramps some of the time , and wind alot when im having a bad time ,

how long has this been going on for ? could it be a bug or some different food you have had ?

Also stress can cause digestive problems .

maybe make a note of movements for a week or so see if theres a pattern or gets it better .

If it carry's on though i would get checked by doctor , they can send sample away to see if theres a bug there . and help put your mind at rest .

hope things improve soon .
