    Spasms after eating :( ibs symptom or period?

    Ive had a troublesome year with my IBS since May but have learnt through diet and stress and Imodium how to live semi-normally again. However, I dont recall getting too many extra symptoms during my period unlike many girls but today, its my second day (Im around 8stone and 5'8 so Im a little underweight thus only having two heavy days) and I went to the bathroom once this morning where it was normal but ever since, if I eat I feel like I need to go again. Its not an issue but im wondering if this is ibs or just a period thing? id understand it if i had cramps but i havent had any since yesterday morning and even then i didnt need to go. How can i get rid of this? im hungry but the spasms literally happen after i eat one bite

    Hi I have ibs and my symptoms are much worse when I have my period, more bloating and Diarrhea so I would guess it’s that, get some Imodium or buscopan from pharmacy depending whether you have ibs d or ibs c and I’d it does t get better after period visit your gp x

    thanks Mrs Anxious. Its been a crap week to be honest, think the period set me off and all week Ive had loose bms :(
    I want to take Imodium and busco but scared the effect will wear off if I keep taking one a week...

    Hi
    I go to the loo loads when I start my period, I read somewhere that when you begin your period something is released (can't remember the name, proglastins or something like that) and that makes you go more
