lately i've been under quite a lot of stress, and for about the last 4 weeks now i have been experiencing some quite weird things. to begin with i had stomach cramps, and when i went to the toilet it was very watery, then, following that i began to get constant noises in my stomach. not like rumbling hunger noises, but just gurgling and general annoyance. now, although my poo is normal, and passes normally etc, i often feel the need to go to the toilet, when in actuality it's just lots and lots of gas. finally, during this four week period i've been going to the toilet (wee) almost every hour or so. it's like, when i get up from the toilet i need to go again.

could it be ibs?

It doesn't sound like IBS---

Stress can cause alot of problems. There is a conection between BMs and your mind --- It can produce diarrhea and a sorta upset stomach. It is usually treated with a very low dose of an anti-depressant --- that breaks the Mind to Gut connection. The problem has been well established in the Medical field and documented in the literature.

The problem with having to urinate frequently can be caused by a number of things from infection, diabetes, high blood pressure, nervousness , etc?? I think it needs to be checked out by a Medical Professional-- for a diagnoses.

I wish you well---Harry
