Is This Ib?

[SandraCT]

I went for a colonoscopy two yers ago and the doctor said I probably have IBS. I am always constipated. When I was younger, it was completely opposite. Whatever I ate, went right through me. My question is this. Whenever I have a bowel movement, it seems to really bother my bladder and flare my IC. It feels like it's burning and I get bloated and then have to pee at least 3 more times. Is this common with IBS? Thanks for your help!

My IB sometimes bothers my bladder like you mentioned, when it's really acting up, but most of the time it does not bother my bladder at all. Have you researched info on the pelvic floor muscles? It can cause the bowels to be sluggish, and cause constipation, and IC symptoms.

IBS means you go from having bouts of constipation to bouts of loose bowels or even diahrea.
