I usually have a BM every evening about half an hour after my dinner. This happens everyday except a few days ago I didn't go and I haven't been since. I can feel .. something in my tummy and I constantly feel like I need to go to the toilet and let it out, but every time I try, nothing comes out from that end. I get the odd day or so every few weeks where I get it but it is just one evening where I miss the BM and then carry on as normal the next day, but i've not been in days.
It's making me feel uncomfortable, constantly bloated (grandparents say I look 4 months gone), and feeling more sick than usual and in a lot more pain than usual. I've got even less energy than usual.
Of course I usually have pain and feel sick and get bloated after eating but because i've not had a BM in days, it's a lot worse and constant.
I have the doctors next week and am waiting for an appt with my GI.
I have taken some laxatives but they've not done anything.
I've been urinating more than usual - not sure if it's related or a coincidence.
Anyone got any ideas or is this just a new perk of IBD that i've only just discovered? I'm getting a bit worried about it because it's out of my 'normal' routine and it's making me more ill than usual.
Edit - Another way of describing it is it feels as though there is a pressure going on inside my bottom.. the one where I feel as though something is there but just can't get it out.
Also for the last few weeks when I have been having my 'normal' BM, the actual bum opening feels.. tighter than usual.. I don't know how to explain it. It feels all crackly and tighter and .. not sure. Argh!
Oh man the pain
