Emma,

Why are you examining your poo that closely hun?? I wouldn't worry.

Your symptoms are typical of a stressed bowel/IBS, and nothing more. An indication of cancer is not what you describe. There are other more acute symptoms that I will not list and please don't Google them either!!! Swinging between constipation and loose movements is a classic IBS sign.

I have had all of your symptoms. I have IBS and this month has been horrendous...tummy cramps, bloating, constipation and feeling crappy all the time.

There are things you can take that do help: Green tea, aloe vera juice, peppermint tea, are just a few. Buscopan is brilliant for cramps (you can buy it over the counter now)

Hope this helps.x:hugs:

Thank You. I just remmeber the cramps b4 anxiety but my diet was bad. energy drinks, coke, chocolate and crispis all the time. not good.
I dont know why i examine stuff i guess its just my way of trying to spot stuff thats unusual and keep my self safe. :)

I hope you I didn't come across as harsh about examining the poo Emma....I din't mean to hun!

I know what it is like to worry about stuff....been there, done that, got the t shirt!

It is natural with anxiety to keep an eye on everything, I know.

No not at all, you didnt come accross that way. Sometimes harshness can be good for me- helps with irrational thoughts lol x
