I have IBS. This isn't my "normal" IBS. Usually I can't go to the bathroom whatsoever for weeks and I end up gaining 15 pounds. I bloat and I am uncomfortable and I can't even eat much anymore b/c nothing is coming out. This time, I have lost 7 pounds, I have gas and I use the bathroom every couple of days. I want to go but it hurts so much. I have internal and external hemorroids but that is not what is effecting me. When I go it feels like glass is scrapping against me and hurts so bad that I don't even want to go anymore. I went to the doc today for it and she said that it looks like a lesion, like a scrap. But how? How do you scrap yourself there. Can anyone relate to this? My stomach has also had excess acid in it for the last several weeks. Could the acid from my stomach have caused this?
