I have ibs. sometimes a stomach pain wakes me up and in the morning when i try to eat my stomach cramps. is this normal for ibs sufferers or something else?

Your symptom seems not typically related to IBS. You should see your family doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Good luck.

These kind of symptoms are very common in patients with IBS. If you have a change in your bowel habits, it is wise to speak to your physician. In the meantime, you could try increasing the amount of fiber in your diet and remaining well hydrated. Good luck.
