Hello Amanda,

A friend of mine had irritable bowel syndrome, and it made her go to the loo lots of times. I know anxiety can also affect this condition too. It is hard not to worry I know, but i am sure you do not have bowel cancer - just classic signs of ibs.

I have/had IBS and that is not excessive, however have u been seen by a dr?

I had pains and my stomach would spasm so much that it jumped up as if a baby were inside kicking.

What other symptoms have you got?

As you may know I had the same and ended up being diagnosed with Crohn's disease.

I would push the doc for some more tests as they fobbed me off for 2 years saying it was anxiety etc

The main issue was constant diarrohea which led to piles that bled.

I was also permanently bloated.

The other thing you could try is a low fibre diet - they put me on that and I am currently on a no-fibre diet!

I went to see a consultant to look at the piles cos they were causing me grief. He took one look up my behind and said it was very very imflammed and did a biopsy.

I was then referred for a sigmoidoscopy and the rest is history as they say.

I am not so good at the moment but thanks for asking.
