I was diagnosed with IBS a few years ago and recognise my symptoms every time; it's always the same. I'll eat something (unfortunately I have not been able to pinpoint what food it is although it's often beef which I have cut out), get the awful stomach cramps then constipation, then awful diarrhea and the pains will only go once I have been to the toilet. I have found no medication has helped really but I'm looking into getting something else.
Anyway, recently I have had a strange mix of symptoms which I have never had before and I'm not sure if this could be IBS/a stomach bug/something else. It started a few weeks ago when I woke up with awful cramps which I thought could be IBS, however I have never been woken up by IBS and it has happened a few times since. Also now every time I eat, even if it's a biscuit, I get bad cramps. Without being too icky, I get really gassy/bloated (big pressure in my stomach, it hurts a lot) and go to the toilet SO much. The other week I thought I would never stop going it went on for hours and hours!
Also, I have a constant hunger feeling...even if I have had a three course meal I still feel really hungry afterwards. I wake up starving in the morning and I'm always snacking to make the hunger pains go away (which doesn't usually work).
Anyway I just wondered what people think these symptoms can be; the worst is the bloated and pressure feeling as well as always being hungry.
Any help would be appreciated! xx
