does ibs cause nausea - #26239
I am really struggling here and just need some thoughts. For about a year now, I’ve been dealing with stuff that seems like it might be IBS. I get these awful cramps, and sometimes I just can’t even eat. But the weirdest part is that I’ve started to notice that I’m feeling sick to my stomach a lot – I mean, like, really nauseous. I know people say that IBS can cause different symptoms, so my question is, does IBS cause nausea too? I’m not just talking about occasionally feeling yucky after meals, this is more like a constant thing, especially when my stomach is acting up. I talked to my doc about it, and they seemed to think it was all part of the same IBS picture, which has me a little confused. Like, do you guys also experience nausea along with your IBS? It’s not easy for me to distinguish between the different symptoms either – the bloating, gas, and all that jazz can really mess me up. Blah! I just want to know if this nausea is something I should be worrying more about or if it’s a common companion of IBS? Any thoughts or experiences would really help me out!
