What Causes Pain In Lower Back Along With Loose Bowels?
I have been diagnosed with ibs a few years back. The past week I have pain in my lower back where my rit disc is and it radiates around to my right side. My bowels have been abnormal as well. I seem to get some relief when I have a bowel movement but they are very loose. What could this be?

Hi, thank you for posting.
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
Based on what you refer I can say that your symtoms are caused by IBS.
To confirm the diagnosis an X-ray is necessary in order to rule out back arthritis.
To relieve the symptoms you should avoid spicy foods, acoholic drinks, coffee and milk.
You should also take Nexium and Mesalazine.
Consult your gastroenterologist.
All the best.
