Continuous Gas

I don’t know what has me suffering, but I can go to the washroom and right after coming out suffering pain and substantial gas. Often accompanied by chills.

  1. I'm sorry to hear that you're currently suffering, . That sounds incredibly distressing and uncomfortable. Have you had a chance to mention these symptoms to your doctor? Are you diagnosed with an inflammatory bowel disease? I ask because gas and bloating can be a part of IBD, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/gas-bloating. Of course, only your doctor can determine whether your symptoms are due to an inflammatory bowel disease or caused by something else so it's best to discuss new and worsening symptoms with your medical team. I do hope that you can get some answers and some relief! Wishing you a gentle day. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

  2. Hi . On top of the excellent information from Christine, I want to ask if you feel like you have complete emptying with bowel movements or not? I ask because constipation and incomplete bowel emptying can have the gas and pain as symptoms (see: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/symptoms/constipation-and-incomplete-bowel-emptying). Also, I have seen that these issues can accompany IBS (note: even if you have an IBD diagnosis, IBS can be comorbid with it). I hope this information is helpful and can inform further conversations with your doctor. Please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask additional questions. Best, Richard (Team Member)
