Feeling Of Having To Move Bowels

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Atlanta, GA

Most times, after moving my bowels I have the constant feeling of still having to go. I do go a lot but it takes many bowel movements until the feeling goes away. It is miserable. I am happiest on days when I don’t go at all!
Can anyone else identify with this and is there anything that helps. Thanks.

Fay, I take Bentyl for the cramping that goes with that feeling of having to go so much. Do you also get cramping? Bentyl/ Dicyclomine does help with this.

Mine goes from constipation to diarrhea. Most days you don’t want to go out of the house because you don’t know what to expect

Bone broth may work for that.

Mine too. Constipation for almost 2 weeks, and then diarrhea for a week. I suffer from migraine as well. I am afraid I'm going to get fired. 😒
