I wake in the night to see whether I've got an upset …… then lay awake waiting for an upset to begin
….. I know every lay-by on the A5 North to South
. Right now though, all is peaceful

I had those symptoms, but with chronic pain, years ago which GP's treated as for painful periods. I carried on outting up with it for years until I had a few embarrassing accidents and went back to the GP. This time he decided it was IBS, no tests done, and prescribed Mebeverine. I took them for a month and still take if I feel odd and it really helps.

I've never had constipation with any of the ADs I've been prescribed (since 1993). Anxiety causes problems. Change of routine causes problems.
This morning I didn't need to go until mid-morning, then I sat there for ages B4 my body emptied quite comfortably. Now I feel like I need to go again
