I'm scared something is wrong with my bowel?

[rainbowdash_262]

I researched and I thought it could be Irritable bowel syndrome. I'm thinking.. Why? Just because I drank a smoothie from jamba juice? Help, I'm scared. I was about to be taken to ER till I was feeling fine again. Today is the second day, yesterday was worse. A lot worse. Today gotten better.

Well, you didn't really tell us any of your symptoms. It could be a 48-hour stomach bug. You could've ate something that just didn't sit well on your stomach. It could be IBS if the symptoms are pervasive. Keep an eye on it, though.

[rainbowdash_262]

It was probably dehydration. What are the signs of IBS?

[EmpatheticLady]

Stomach pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea.

[rainbowdash_262]

This would be constant throughout the day?

Hope it helps!

I understand that but how long should the symptom last before I see a doctor?

[EmpatheticLady]

How long have you had them?

[rainbowdash_262]

It was severe on the 1st two days since Thursday. I had constipation till I took laxative and then that seemed to upset my stomach there was stool. So about 3-4 days not including today because it didn't happen.

[EmpatheticLady]

Keep an eye on it. If it continues for a couple weeks, I'd see your doctor.

[rainbowdash_262]

Just yesterday felt like i was starting to feel better. So, in couple of weeks see a doctor? Why not in couple of days?

[EmpatheticLady]

Well, you said it felt like it was getting better. Make it a week then.

[rainbowdash_262]

Alright. Thank you so much! :)

[EmpatheticLady]

No problem! Good luck to you!

Thanks for MHO!

Or you could have gotten food poisoning...

Honestly if it's not a persistent issue I doubt you have any long term issues.

It could've just been something that disagreed with you

[rainbowdash_262]

what do you mean?

[reptocarl]

Like something you ate

[rainbowdash_262]

Not sure, there is a couple of things I ate before this occurred

Go ask your parents or a doctor LOL. It's not like anyone on here knows what exactly is wrong

[rainbowdash_262]
