Since my diagnoses I have been taking extra fiber regularly and been on a bland diet (no pepper or any type of spicy food). However I still have problems of not empting my rectum completely and it burns when I have a bowel movement (only during the IBS) not to mention it smells really foul. The poop does look normal though. No blood or black spots nor any type of mucus.
I have an appointment to see the doctor in 2 days but does anyone have any tips to help me tonight. Thank you so much in advance. Or do you think I might have something else?
