I seem to get a lot of bladder infections and they seem to coincide with IBS flares and soft mushy stools🥵 does anyone else have this issue?

Ugh, so sorry you are dealing with that. That hasn't happened to me but there definitely has to be some correlation. Do you have pain when you have a bowel movement with you flare? -Elizabeth (team member)

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! You're not alone, we actually have articles and discussions about the correlation between bladder problems and IBS: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/clinical/bladder-problems, https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/ibs-and-urge-to-pee. I'm just wondering if you're taking antibiotics for your UTIs? If yes, are these maybe contributing to your IBS flares? Karina (team member)
