I need to sort my bowel out!
Q I Have always been prone TO CONSTIPATION and Have learnt TO manage IT WITH DIET and THE OCCASIONAL STOOL SOFTENERS but recently I Have been all Over THE place. I Can be CONSTIPATED FOR a Few Days and Then really LOOSE. please Help? A Make an appointment to see your GP with this one. There are several possibilities. Your diarrhoea could actually be overflow, where loose stool is leaking past a blockage. This could be irritable bowel syndrome, especially if you are under stress. But these symptoms can also be linked to bowel cancer so it’s important to get it checked out, as early diagnosis makes treatment easier and more successful.
