Hi i have thi too exactly like you said. It is IBS! It is very very hard to live with IBS. Sometimes you are better sometimes worse. You need to see a doctor and test a lot of medications and treatments, to try to control. I have 25 years old and i have IBS for 3 yeras now still can not heal. But i am trying. I believe that one of the causes would be poor diet for a long time, so now i am trying to improve my diet and take suplements and some medications.
how is your diet?
An important detail: Are your stools well-formed or loose?
If well-formed, then it may just be a normal gastro-colic reflex, although maybe a bit exagerrated. If poorly formed, then I'd say it's likely IBS-D.
Also, do over the counter anti-diarrheals like loperamide help? I'm not recommending use of those long term, but it could be an indication of an over-active bowel, typical of IBS-D.
