Anyone with bad GI issues?

I was just wondering if anyone else suffered with bad GI issues? Like IBS or just randomly having bad moments where you can’t stay out of the bathroom? and it really messes you up

Ive read where some say it can be related to POTS. Bit for me for instance I’ve not been able to stay out of the bathroom for like a week, and now I’ve lost my appetite and feel like I can’t eat the last few days. I’ve had a clean colonoscopy about 2.5 years ago, but I have made an appointment with my gi dr again just to check in. because last summer also had my gallbladder removed so I’m sure that doesn’t help either

Year after six and BAM?

That was supposed to say year after SX but autocorrect 🙄

I’m just curious if anyone else has this issue??

everything seemed alright for the most part after surgery and I could eat. every so often, id have issues but no different then what it was before surgery.

now I seem like I go more frequently and its anywhere from soft to nearly diarrhea (sorry tmi)

i jad a clean colonoscopy 2.5 years ago. no polyps/etc everything was good per gi dr.

but this is so frustrating and ruining things for me because I’ll cramp and I’ve got to get to the bathroom when it hits.

5 days late now awful period??

just curious. I freak out and panic over everything lol

my periods were normally every 28/29 days i had some stress this month and think it’s because of this but my period was give or take 4 to 5 days late. it started today but it’s been a little heavier today so far and I feel terrible omg. I feel so sick. On and off nauseous and just Feeling unwell.
even felt like I was having hot flashes or something at one point ugh.

i haven’t gotten a full diagnose for endo since I haven’t had surgery yet. but my specialist believes adeno or endo or both.

Don’t know if it’s pointless for an appt

I’ve been doing for stomach issues for years but ever since hearing more times of colon C and problems I think it just makes me more panicky over this.

randomly every month anymore it seems like I go through days of constant issues throughout the day of going. I’ll take pepto and it helps and then like today for instance just had to go again now.

I had a colonoscopy 2.5 years ago and it was clear, had other testing and negative for celiac and all as well.

last year had my gallbladder remoced. So is my problems now from just that and my body learning to deal without it?? this is so frustrating because I feel like I can’t do anything and I’m worried something is wrong?!

Almost a year post surgery-bathroom issues?

I’m just curious if anyone else has this issue.

had it removed over summer in August. since then I got through (not all the time) random times of where I can’t stop going for days. so much that its all over the bristol chart from regular to diarrhea. and then ill be convinced it looks funny. but then again of course does because I’m going so much during this time frame.

does anyone else have this problem?

just on day 3 and so far I haven’t gone but my stomach is hurting like I’m going to need to go. I’m going to try to take some pepto too because I definitely think my intestines are now irritated because I’ve gone so much

Flare up??

is this okay to ask? I try not to pay attention to what it looks like when I go to the bathroom. but I guess I’m potentially having a bad flare up at the moment. one of the many times I’ve gone I glanced down and I thought it looked really off. maybe mucus was in there or something idk?! it seemed off in the center of it LOL

I guess it’s hard to say when I’ve been going in and off none stop since yesterday? maybe I’ve got some irritation going on. I waste doctors tike so much because I freak out over everything

Clots at end of period?

does anyone ever have this happen? it usually is for me at the start or within the first or second day.

today should be my last day or so I thought.. and it’s been kind of longer than it usually is too. so idk if it was stuck and came out or what?

has anyone had that happen? trying not to freak out but of course I always do.

Anyone mid 30's?

I am just curious I am often told that I am too young to be going through this.. But I am about to turn 35, but I have so many symptoms that have no other explanation or at least doctors can't figure it out so I have been thinking I could be at the beginning stages (possibly) of perimenopause.

I'm so tired of being told "You're too young," okay, then what is wrong with me?! because this is so miserable I hate feeling like this or thinking something else is wrong with me.

Palpitations from weather changes?

my cardiologist can give me no reason but since the weather has shifted and it’s hot as🔥 here I’ve been having heart palpitations.

could this be anxiety, pots symptoms flaring because damn it! I’m over this. I’m so frustrated.

I keep myself busy and feel like I dont notice it and then as soon as I calm down boom I feel it

something I've considered - dirty sodas but what else?

I've had this idea for some time now.. I've thought of doing like a dirty soda idea or something along those lines. I'm not sure what else?

Maybe dirty sodas and treats? But not sure if that would be popular -- thinking something yummy for the kids. I had ideas like a mix of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, chocolate chips, melted marshmallow and/or hot fudge?

things like that.
Thought I'd see if people had opinions on this? Clearly I don't know what I'm doing but I'd love to do something!

I need to check to see if they 100% day IBS for me. I only assume because of all the issues I’ve had and also a clear colonoscopy two years ago.

maybe I have IBS-m because I go through stages of constipation and the. can’t stop going.

do you guys have this? where you’ll go says where you can’t go? them days of going a couple of times? I wouldn’t say it’s diarrhea but dang the cramps and how I’ll not feel good randomly. then be good. Then it hits again!

its so annoying. I try to freak out and panic over this too because I’m such a hypochondriac
