Make sure your drinking plenty of water when taking fiber because the body requires water to move things along...you can become constipated, which can lead to intestinal gas and could then lead to intestinal blockage. Hope you get it figured out and feel better!

I have these same issues. Constipation for 3-4 days at a time, then diarrhea that does not stop, gets progressively worse. I have two little ones, so this causes distress, because I'm asking my 7 year old to watch my 1 year while mom is in the bathroom for 30 minutes, having painfully diarrhea that causes cramping, chills, and leaves me feeling drained. I had the same symptoms before getting pregnant with my daughter, they went away until 8 months later, and I think it may be worse. The stool has an unusual odor. I thought it maybe lactose intolerance, so I cut all lactose products out of my diet. Because that wasn't helping with the symptoms, I thought it might be gluten intolerance, so I started to just eat fruits, vegetables, and chicken and fish. However, even though a day went by without symptoms, that didn't stop the symptoms. So, I went to the ER they did a stool sample and never sent me any results. Recently, I went to a new doctor, she did some blood tests, also is taken some stool samples, if nothing is found, I will see the gastroenterologist. I will keep you all updated. My doctor said that IBS is the last diagnosis once everything else has been ruled out because it can not be tested for. Do make sure you are drinking water and gatorade for electrolyte replenishment and also spearmint tea and chamomile is supposed to help ease the diarrhea.

I have the identical symptoms. Lower back pain, chronic bloating and constipation some days diarrhea other days. Also weight retention. I[ve been working out and eating well but can't lose a pound ! Always feel bloated.
Also have a history of UTI's. Did you ever get a sonogram to check things out internally ?

I have similiar symptoms of IBS. However, I've had unintentional weight loss recently, but that might be because of stress. Any ideas on if I should worry or not?

Hi,
I as well have been plagued by the same issues. My prayers got out to you all. I have what I call flare ups where my stomach is so bloated and the pain is severe. Sometimes it is followed by extremely painful gas and nausea. I am in the process of seeing a gastrologist, it is believed I could have Crohns. I urged you to not give it find a gastrologist who understands these issues. Again my prayers to you all.

My grandpa was constipated just like you. He started getting Colonocs and after about five and with the proper diet he he has continued to have a BM at least every three days. He was going a small one every ten days for a couple years.

I have the same exact problems. I have insurance and been to the doctor for it. So far no answer except acid reflex which I know it isn't that. Frustrating!

You could have what they call thyroid resistance. You produce enough but the body cant use it. Its usually due to an increase in stress hormones like cortisol.
