Anyone's IBS act like this??

i think lots of peeps here have the same problem. i've been having lots of cramping, and it doesn't go away after bm. have to sit back down several times and only a little come out at a time. drs don't know much.. the more i do research, the more i realize dr don't know lots of thing about our colon and muscularture, etc..
its so frustrating when i go in the dr, and it seems i know more than them since i've been reading up on it all the time.

Thank you for the feed back it always helps to know you are not alone although I would not wish this on anyone.

I guess in a way I was fortunate my dr. did a lower G I and my colon was in spasms than so got the dx than but have had colon. done since.

i think i'm going through some c difficile now. i've never had ibs wake me up at night for bm. but this past 4 days, been up all night 10x/night with diarrhea. waiting for the lab result to come back, sucks lab takes so long. but i couldn't handle it anymore, so started on flagyl the dr gave me. woke up only 1x last night for bm. hope this is the answer. also a single dad with a 4yo. and working full time. this is been emotionally hard as well as physical. i keep praying....:(

Yes, I have experienced this pain many times and here's what I have found out about my condition:

I received a confirmed diagnosis of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction earlier this year, but I have been dealing with it since - I would say - sometime in 2011. My pelvic floor dysfunction caused IBS in the form of constitipation, which lead to a couple of throwing up episodes and weight gain because I was so backed up and full of food and toxins that my body couldn't eliminate.

Well, after seeing a GI doctor, 2 colon rectal doctors and other doctors, I was sent to a physical therapist who specialized in biofeedback. The biofeedback confirmed that my pelvic muscles were extremely tight, but offered little, in terms of treatment, to correct the problem. about a week ago, I was chatting with a friend who did some research on my condition, which prompted me to do more research as well, and I found out that Stanford University has a program specficially for this condition. GW University Hospital in DC has one too. I'm headed to GW in January to follow up, but if I don't get the results I'm seeking, I'll be headed to Cali in the spring to get this thing resolved.

Turns out that the source of pelvic floor dysfunction is "stress/anxiety". Stress can come in many forms. Stress on the pelvis from having had abdominal surgery, incorrect bathroom habits, weight lifting, infection. enduring high levels of emotional stress for long periods - that's me! Dr. Wise and Dr. Anderson have developed the Wise-Anderson protocol, which is done at Stanford and it provides the sufferer with stress/anxiety management and trigger point pressure release techniques to repair the pelvic floor muscles. In my case, the muscles are extremely tight and tense and can't relax. They also wrote a book called "A Headache in the Pelvis", which I am reading now and it's clear that I have to practice ridding myself of self-limiting or negative thoughts in order to completely recover. Another source for dealing with stress and anxiety is through life coach David Roppo. He is releasing a stress-free guide that advocates eliminating stress because it really can't be managed.

So by the end of spring, I plan to be stress/anxiety free and have my pelvic floor in order. I recommend to everyone that you read the book because all of the conditions that you describe that you've been told that you have are covered in that book.
