Weird IBS Symptoms

Have you ever experienced what you thought was a "weird" or "strange" symptom and wondered if others with IBS have experienced it too?

Share your "weird" symptom here and see if others have.

  1. Yes. I would get a rash on the inner aspect of my butt cheek a day BEFORE an IBS flare-up. The doc kept saying it’s from raw skin from IBS flare ups totally ignoring that it happens BEFORE a flare up. My neuropathy in my legs also get much worse. My doctors gaslight me when I report these symptoms

    1. I get extremely hungry every 4 hours,then I have to eat and when I do my IBS D flares up,it’s a never ending cycle and the GI doctor dismisses it. I finally asked my family doctor to refer me to someone else because for over 20 I’ve been seeing this man and not really getting the help I need. I also have breakouts of skin rashes mostly on my face when the bowels act up.This is so frustrating.

      1. I Suffer in the same way damn if do damn if you don’t a never ending cycle like you said

      2. I was referred to a nutritionist

    2. I don’t think my symptom seems to be very common but when I get really anxious, I feel a bubble on my lower left abdomen. I’m having a particularly tough time right now and it really feels like there’s a lump in that area. It can’t felt on the outside of my body, it a sensation of having a lump. I hate IBS.

      1. gluten free

      2. Thanks

    3. Same here and they can't find anything
