Help!
I recently went to the doctor, got a rectal exam, then got a colonoscopy. My colon is normal. My doctor said before the colonoscopy that IBS could be a possibility. Here is what is happening to me:
Before I go to school (or anywhere else now it seems) I have a bowel movement, then I get very anxious. I have to go to the bathroom between 5-15 times now before I leave. It used to go away when I would get to the bus stop or school, but now it just doesn't go away. It started when I had diarrhea one day, and almost went in my pants! Then for a couple of days after that, I had diarrhea at school. When I get home, I'm fine. I'm missing a lot of school, and this is my senior year!
Could this be severe anxiety triggering IBS? Can anyone relate? What kind of medication should I ask my doctor about?
