You sound like you are not eating enough fibre.This will cause bloating andstomach pain.The bowel has to work so hard to move the stools along and causes spasms.Look on the main menu at IBS It gives advice on the condition and what food to eat and what to avoid. The symptoms are numerous,but it can be controlled,Take care Suex

hiya, i suffer ibs, and it sounds abit like it, i get constipated very bloated feeling and alot of tummy cramps, and of course if you suffer anxiety it does make your symptoms alot worse. and i think since suffering ibs (which was brought on by stress) thats when alot of my health anxieties got worse trying to figure out wheather or not its my ibs playing up or if its something more sinsiter!! good luck i hope you feel better soon. debs. xxxx
