Hi everyone
Can anyone put my mind at rest. I suffer with irritable bowel but don't get a lot of pain normally, just a bit of cramping and wind down low. However, I do get periods of straining to go even though I never miss a day. Lately though I have been going in the night too, not with diarrheoa, just fairly normal but I wake for a wee and after I have been I get back into bed and then get the message to go. I have tried ignoring it like the books tell you to and sometimes it works and I drift back to sleep, but every so often I get a night or 2 when it's impossible and I'm up then every hour or so going. My doctor knows and is sure it's ibs but I still worry. When I have had a week or two with no problems I'm ok, but then I get a night of this and I dread going to bed and if I wake to go to the loo I start to worry that I'm going to get the message and have to spend the best part of the night in the bathroom. It kind of takes over. Does anyone else have to go in the night?
