    My pet worry is vaginal bleeding (except when my period's due, at which point I worry obsessively about the absence of vaginal bleeding). All you're going to land up with either way, though, are unhygienic fingers and a sore downstairs area :/
    I have the same fear. This and checking for blood in stools. I just wish I knew how to force myself to live with the uncertainty. Usually I can cope but sometimes I just can't

    I don’t look for reassurance, I don’t google, I don’t preform checks, and I’m not scared I’ll miss something because when something is wrong it’s known without a doubt, it’s not subtle or something you worry about it’s something that’s very clear.

    You have given me a lot of reassurance and the last line is very true. My doctor told me the same, that if something serious goes on, it will be obvious to them at least.

    I wonder if this is my anxiety but sometimes I think "what if I have given the hospital the wrong number? Did I even give them any number?" I know that they always take numbers but my anxiety is causing me a foggy mind and I am confusing my thoughts. I am thinking that maybe I gave them the wrong number. Maybe thats why I never received any call from them.

    This is silly I know.

    Can someone just reassure me about something? What does a change in bowel habits mean?

    I feel like my bowel habits keep changing. I sometimes get normal stools (rarely) mostly soft, sometimes completely loose and sometimes constipation. Most days around 2 to 3 times a day and some days only once a day.

    Did any of you face this?

    That actually sounds a lot like the way I've been for ages. Occasionally I wonder about it, but I figure even a slow-growing cancer would've made me feel properly ill after about fifteen years.

    Have you mentioned this to your doctor? Did they seem concerned?

    I haven't mentioned it to my doctor, no, because it doesn't cause me any problems with my day-to-day life. If I go through a bad phase, I take it as a hint that I need to eat more healthily for a while, which tends to make it easier.

    The other thing I find that makes it much worse is a lack of sleep, for what it's worth.

    But do you experience abdominal pain? I rarely have it and i thought IBS causes abdominal pain. Do these symptoms happen daily?

    I read somewhere that people get random IBS flare ups and some on the other hand have IBS symptoms everyday.

    Most days I suffer from non-optimal bowel movements; sometimes I get cramps along with it but not that often. I have no clue whether I have IBS or just a sensitive stomach, or whether there's even a difference.

    I thought they meant the same.
    I am glad you overcame your fears BlueIris.

    It seems like my symptoms are very similar to yours.

    When did all these start for you? Hold old were you then? And now?
