Sudden onset IBS symptoms ? Posted: 05-10-08 22:25pm


I'm 31 year old female. I had rny gastric bypass 5 years ago. I take a daily aspirin because I have a history of TIA (ministroke) and DVT. About 2 months ago I had complete watery diarrhea for 2-3 days. I would drink water then immediately have to go the restroom and have a watery BM. I took Pepto and the stools became loose but still very frequent. I would typically have 2-3 bms a day and now I was having 2-3 bms before I would make it to work, then 2 more by lunchtime. Even after I had a BM I would feel crampy and like I needed to "go". I saw my PCP and having recently taken a trip she gave me a 3 day course of antibiotic. The stools were then well formed for about 5 days, but the frequency barely improved. A few days off the medication and the stool became soft again. I saw the PCP again and it was suggested I stay away from lactose for a couple weeks. I'm on week two of soy milk, etc. and still am having frequent early morning bm's but now towards the end of the day I feel like I need to go but I can't go....like I'm constipated. I know what my normal is and what typically triggers loose stools and none of what is happening normal in any way. I've seen blood a coupld of times, but I also have a history of a fissure so blood given all the straining, etc blood did not concern me.
