Headache and IBS-C

I seem to get headaches every day.Still trying to figure out triggers - is this common with IBS-C?

  1. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You're definitely not alone. This article mentions a correlation between IBS-C and headaches: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/ibs-c-more-than-constipation. This article also talks about headaches and IBS: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/headache-deal-with, so it's definitely quite common to have both.
    I personally have IBS-D and also get headaches, but most of the time, they're caused by hormones or stress (both of which also trigger my IBS).
    Do you take anything for the headaches and IBS symptoms?
