Ok for 2/3 days now i have had bad cramps & then had to rush to the loo every morning several times. But its only the mornings when i get up, i don't get it. I had to have yesterday off in my new job as it fucking hurt & then i was weak.
Anyone know what it could be and how i can possibly control it? I really need to go to work tommorow! :(

    I should've put 2 and 2 together when you said you needed the toilet in the mornings. I'm not sure what it could be all I can really say is see your GP.

    It's probably the stress and worry of starting a new job. Do you suffer with the irritable bowel syndrome IBS?

    My advice is to eat a balanced diet, take an over the counter pill such as Colofac or Colpermin and you can use Imodium in the short term if it helps (although this is not recommended if you suspect you have a tummy bug).

    I have not been to the doc about it yet but i have had bouts of it before & sounds very much like IBS so maybe it is?

    was taking 4 tablets a day and became too dependant on them for the diarrohea (sp?), so now i generally lump it!
    or runny it as the case may be :lol:sorry that was a bad joke

    everyone round here has had a bug that lasts for 3 - 4 of days that involves bad stomach cramps (i mean really really bad - like the worst period peins x 10), the shits and nausia (or in my case cos i have to be an individual - uncontrolable vomiting) it could just be some kind of bug

    it does sound very IBS-y. my insides are almost always worse in the mornings.

    your best bet, if it carries on, is to nip and see your GP, so they can rule out anything more serious, and then advise you on the best way to deal.

    IBS is a pain in the arse (haha) if it's not controlled well.
