A member asked:
I may have ibs, getting tests. i have frequent bowel movements/cramping but the stool is normal and not watery like diarrhea. is this unusual for ibs?

Not at all...: Stool pattern in IBS runs the entire spectrum from loose, frequent, watery with urgency to hard, lumpy constipation with feeling incompletely evacuated. Sometimes patients will evolve from one extreme to the other. IBS is however a diagnosis of exclusion, so what tests have you had so far to clarify this diagnosis?
