Hi I got diagnosed 6 days ago and the only symptom I had before was bleeding but since my diagnosis I've been having bad stomach cramps some last 5 minutes but others a couple of hours, I don't know if this is a symptom you have or is it just because at the moment I'm upset and all over the place.

Hi Pixie2uk
I had the same symptoms after my diagnosis and I assumed it was anxiety and my doc gave me buscopan for IBS!! I thought she was having a laugh but they realy worked and I'm cramp free now! Let me know how I get on.

Thank you I have some buscopan I will try that and see how it works x
Definitely give it a try Pixie2uk.. I do think my cramps were caused by stress and anxiety but those feelings also had me running to the loo way way more often than my normal once per day so it made sense. Fingers crossed for ya .
