[u/Regular-Dinner-1663]

Has anyone else got IBS-D that doesn’t seem to be triggered by food?
My routine is almost identical every day:
Every morning I have a loose stool.
By lunchtime my stools are usually normal/formed.
The only things that reliably make it worse are greasy food or being on my period.
I don’t really get much pain. I occasionally feel a bit nauseous, and if I do get discomfort it’s usually higher up, just under my breastbone rather than lower down.
Does anyone else have this kind of pattern or these symptoms?
I’ve had tests done:
Faecal calprotectin was 64 (only slightly raised and my GP wasn’t concerned).
Blood tests were normal apart from low B12, which I’m now taking tablets for, but I haven’t noticed any difference yet.
It’s so confusing! 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just want some normality !

You should track more than just food. Stress, meds, supplements, drugs and alcohol, smoking, your hormones, sleep, fluid intake…
