I've suffered with ibs for over 5 years. I've discovered in that time I'm lactose intolerant, react badly to gluten and caffine , I also cannot have chocolate , sweeteners , and a few other various items. I wake up most mornings with the urge to go the loo - most of the time It's diarrhoea or not very well formed stools.This happens a few times over the course of an hour of two everyday .The pain lasts usually for hours even after I've passed a few stools. I often feel a lot of pressure or a slight ache from my abdominal area.
I often have problems with my bladder as well. I often wake up with a serve pressure / aching pain radiating from my bladder . This often gets slightly better once I've urinated but the pain can sometimes linger for hours. I'm recently trying to cut down on my sucrose sugar as I believe it's causing me problems. Anyone had any similar symptoms or any advice? After 5 years of suffering and no help from the doctors I'm crying out for anyone's advice? Or even just someone who can relate! Thanks 😀
