Ok Guys i need a bit of help and rational thoughts here !!
I have been suffering from this episode of HA for 2 months now and i can't seem to find a way out of it. I have problems with diarrohea. I used to go the minute i woke and then maybe 2-3 more times after. I have been to my doctor, had a barium enema, sigmoidoscopy and been to a consultant who all put it down to anxiety. I am taking mebeverine(colofac) tablets which seemed to have helped a little, but i worry because just when i think they are working i will have an episode of diarrohea (watery) out of the blue. Take yesterday for example i had a nearly normal bowel movement in the morning, but just before i went to bed i had diarrohea again. I just can't help worrying that i have some underlying problem even though my doctor has reassured me. Thing is the anxiety is being caused by the diarrhoea so everytime i get it it spins my anxiety out of control. Please can anybody relate to this ? xxx

I,ve been like that on and off for 20 years , my first bout of ibs lasted 6 months , it was either the runs or normal and anything inbetween . My poohs have never really been the same ever since i started with ibs although it did go for years , it just comes and goes when it please,s !
All sounds normal to me and the good thing is you have been checked out , do your best to believe the dr and it should settle to what is normal for you , don,t worry your fine :yesyes:
