Anybody else have experience with IBS attacks during pregnancy? I've been sick since last night... really bad cramps and (TMI) running to the bathroom. They're definitely bowel cramps -- kinda hard to explain, but I can tell it's my gut and not the belly. However, I have had a few BH (not during the bouts of cramps though, and no pain with them), and between those, bubs kicking me to pieces, and the stomach/bowel pain from the IBS, I'm worn out.
The problem is, usually with a painkiller (made sure it was safe first) and rest, the problem settles down within a few hours, but 18hrs after the first round hit I'm still miserable. I'm wondering if it's a bug rather than the IBS (or in combination with it), but it's following the usual pattern for a severe IBS attack. I took a Zantac this morning (reflux -- that's a whole other story
) and I'm going easy food-wise (chicken broth and crackers lol) but I don't know why it's not settling down. Any suggestions? It's past time for the walk-in clinic at my dr's office and I have no intention of going to the case room for a stupid IBS bout!
Feeling yukky... (TMI)
