Anyone else? (possible IBS TMI!)

[MaryMac]

Hi everyone. For the past few days I've been feeling good. I think (hope!) I've kicked that horrible leukemia fear in the a$$. Knowing that I would probably be very sick by now etc has helped. But I still feel the symptoms of anxiety. I didn't really sleep much last night because my heart was pounding, and it still is. It was like I'd had too much coffee, that sort of feeling. I have one cup a day.
This morning I got up, felt ok and had my usual porridge for breakfast. Just after that however, I got the "IBS" feeling of really having to go. I usually get IBS if I'm stressed or have eaten something too rich. I have to admit, yesterday I went out for a nice lunch and last night got an Indian takeaway, and even though I was full I continued to eat it haha.
TMI SECTION!!

But when I get IBS it's not diahorrea, or constipation, it's more like just LOTS of little bits of solid. It's not a strange colour or anything, but I can be sitting on the toilet for about 15 minutes sometimes!
My stomach usually gets back to normal quickly but today I still feel a little bit bloated which I'm not really worried about.
Does anyone else get this? I thought my anxiety was leaving me but it's as though the physical symptoms are there.
Sorry again for TMI hah. xx

if you have IBS then you should avoid spicy foods, i have IBS and never eat anything spicy, IBS is linked to anxiety, so its probably due to that

all sounds pretty normal to me for someone with ibs x

yes I have had that. I have IBS and my bowels are different all the time. One morning it is nice and healthy and then the next I could have diahroea and then I could be constipated for a few days and then and etc.

I wouldnt worry about it it just sounds like a bitof constipation, if it continues maybe mention it to your gp next time and he/she will prescribe you some sort of fibre stuff to help you go better.
