IBS?

[jimlfc6]

I know this comes up alot but i need to calm myself down.

just wondering if this is classic symptoms of IBS?

* Diahorrea 1st thing in the morning
* need to go about 4 times a day
* usually watery
* alot of undigested food in stools too
* no blood
* sometimes pass white mucas
* not much stomach pain
* no weight loss
* seems not to bother me when i am active and playing football
* definatly brought on by nerves, but still need to go 1st thing in the morning when i dont feel nervous.

I suffer with health anxiety and this is constantly on my mind, i havent seen a doctor about it as im scared to do so. Im a 25 year old male, with no previous health problems, and currently feel pretty fit, and play football about 5 times a week.

I am trying things like online CBT and am waiting to see my counsellor, but cannot seem to get my mind away from this. can anyone help please?

This does sound like IBS I suffer with it and get terrible bloating also. It would be good to see a Dr though it might help ease your uncertainty. Have you looked at the page on IBS on here http://www.nomorepanic.co.uk/NMPcms.php?nmppage=ibs

Hope This Helps,

Take Care,
