Ok, so I'm looking for a general consensus really.... to my knowledge if you're regularly woken up at night with pain and diarrhoea it's due to an organic cause - ie IBD (or even something worse) but NOT IBS.....
Have you guys found this to be the case?
I'm regularly woken up with my crohn's symptoms, the pain wakes me first then I have to go to the toilet and I can then be up all night.... does anyone else get this?
I ask because my GI told me its a fairly big pointer to IBD (and he indeed later diagnosed crohns) but on one of my recent admissions when going thru my symptoms with another Dr he said it can happen in IBS too.... now I had abnormal bloods (but an ok CT) so he said he was still pretty convinced this is crohns, and his IBS comment was just a throw away one, but it DID confuse me and I'm curious....
So what do people think?
