whats wrong? - Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Message Board

I haven't been to a doctor yet but I think it's time I should go.
I don't know how long exactly, but I know it's been a few years at least, I randomly have horrible horrible horrible cramps that cause me to feel weak like passing out, make me sweat, and pretty much have diearreah when I get to the bathroom. After that I feel fine. However, it could happen more than once a day(rarely though) and sometimes it happens a few days in a row, and other time's I don't get it for a couple weeks.
I don't know when i will be able to see the doc.
Is there anything I can take that I could find at a drugstore??

Jennie,

I can't tell you what you have I'm not a doctor. Your symptom fall into the IBS symptoms but, IBS can mimic many other more dangerous problems. You need to get some tests done and have a physical. You should get into that doctor as soon as you can. I'm not trying to scare you or anything it could just be IBS but anytime you have a change in your bowel habits you should check it out.

Love,

Jamie
