New to IBS

New to all this ..thinking I've started with IBS getting really bad stomach back and around the side of my stomach ache ...after going to the toilet I feel much better ..
Also I'm having the odd days I need to run to the loo this started about 2 weeks ago
Any advice...the pain which isnt sharp pain is more or a very very bad cramping ache !!

  1. This all started after taking lipotor a statin

    1. I could definitely be a side effect from this med if you have never had bowel issues before. Let your doctor know and see if you can be put on something else. -Elizabeth (team member)

    2. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. I wanted to share this story from a community member with you, about their experience with IBS and statins: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/stories/statins. Wishing you quick relief. Karina (team member)
