Is night time IBS only a red flag if it wakes you up? I suffer with anxiety (obviously ) and as soon as I read this, I started waking up sometimes to pee (like usual) and feeling fine, but then looking at the clock and getting in a panic incase I need to 'go.' I lie there unable to sleep and then a few mins later, the stomach cramps start and I'm back the toilet. If I manage to sleep through without needing to pee, I'm fine.
I'm hoping this is just a response to my anxiety as it's not usually 'D', unless I then get myself into a state about the time and then have to go numerous times. Any reassurance for me? Thanks!
