Is this IBS or something else?
This is something that has been bugging me for a while...About 3-4 months ago i was diagnosed with IBS. My specalist told me to just take miralax and maintan a diet. I did as he told me finding out which foods i can eat or cannot eat. I started excerising and taking miralax. But then about 4 weeks ago problems started coming up. One morning i woke up with my stomach killing me and i had to go to the bathroom really badly. I figured it was just a IBS attack and shrugged it off. Then after that day things got really odd. I started to feel sick alot and my stomach was constantly hurting. I took miralax and i tried to keep up my diet thinking it was just my IBS. But then i started to feel like i couldnt go to the bathroom.. It wasn't really liked i had constipation but it was more like i just couldnt go.
I thought that was just a part of my IBS too. Then when i did go i started having diarhhea. Every single day. I started losing weight and i couldnt eat alot with feeling sick. I also noticed one time that i had white things in my stool and i thought of parasites.
Ive been feeling so bad every day and i finally have an apointment with my specalist tomorrow. Its just i feel like this more than my IBS because it doesnt feel like i have cramps. It feels more like as if my intestines are just failing me. Im also starting to have to really bad breathe which wont go away with brushing my teeth or flossing. Im only 19 and i feel so sick every single day.
