A member asked:
I had been diagnosed with ibs, but never had a colonoscopy. i've recently been waking up at night with painful episodes. could it still be the ibs?

Possibly: But nocturnal symptoms are unusual in IBS and rarely awaken an individual from sleep in and of themselves. Would definitely warrant a visit to your internist or gastroenterologist to be sure you do not have something else like IBD and not IBS. IBD is much more likely to cause nocturnal symptoms that wake you up.
