Have IBS. Lightheadedness, Jittery, Stomach Pain Before Bowel Movement, Abdominal Pain. Red Flakes In Stool. What Is Happening?

I am 32. I have IBS and normally have loose stool more than 4 times a day. For the past few days, I have felt very jittery and light headed. My stomach usually hurts before having a bowel movement but lately it has felt painful from my abdomin to my anus . The past couple of days, I have had what looks like little red flakes in my stool and my stool has been an array of colors. One day, it was bright green, then a yellowish color now a orange-red color with the red flakes.I have not eaten anything differently (no tomatoes).What is happening to my body? Is this my IBS or something more serious?

Hello,

* The changes in stool consistency with stomach pain before bowel movements indicate flare-up of the IBS itself rather than other grave issues.
* Primary care with dietary modifications and prescription of Rifaximin, pro and prebiotics require doc visit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
