I have my annual check in with my GI next week and I’m worried about it. My ibs has been better the past few months but I still haven’t recovered regular bowel movements, I constantly go between “D” and “C” and have a lot of issues with urgency. Around my period, during and week after I still get lots of diarrhea and urgency. Other times I’m constipated for days and then it all comes out in a painful flare. When I do go, I get terrible soreness in my lower abdomen after. I always get cramps and gurgling right after I wake up and have to go to the loo it just depends if I can actually get anything out. I don’t know if there’s any hope of being normal with this condition. I’m wondering if I’ll have to do more tests that reveal nothing or if there is something really wrong they missed all this time. It’s a virtual appointment so I always worry there’s something they would have seen or felt in person that won’t be caught in a video chat.
