Hello,
Wondering if this is IBS or anxiety or what? Every morning, as soon as I wake (I'm talking within 5 seconds of opening my eyes) I'm getting realy strong stomach/intestinal cramps and having to rush to the toilet. If I put my hand on my stomach, I can actually feel my intestines go rock hard and squeeze.
I was having loose poo every morning and and am now controlling it with half an Imodium tablet every day, but it's still quite loose.
This will last a little throughout the morning, sometimes coming badly again 5 mins after going the toilet first thing and having to go yet again.
It's like my intestines sqeeze so hard that they expel everything from my insides in the first 10 minutes of being awake! I'm then usually ok for the rest of the day.
Strangely, it doesn't hurt when I wake up in the night for a wee, only around 6am onwards.
I'm going through a bad anxiety patch and LOTS of personal stress, so I don't know if this is causing it on a subconcious level?
Anyone felt similar or have any reassurance for me? Doctor didnt have a lot to say about it . Thanks
