Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Thanks Syl. I've never been the kind of gal that gets bloated or gets cramps, even during that time of the month, and so I didn't know what to compare what I was feeling to. I'd often ask folks what exactly is it that happens when bloating occurs: is there something inflating in my tummy, is my tummy simply being filled with air, etc. After reading that third link, it is in fact the "inflation" of the intestines against the abdominal wall.

Here's another question. Do you feel relief when you pee? I noticed that while I'm urinating, I don't feel it coming out. Well, I do feel it but it feels as if I'm squeezing my vagina to limit the amount that's coming out (sort of what you would do so that someone can't hear you pee). Sorry for the TMI. I also feel that I'm not comletely urinating all that I can because within 10 minutes, I have to go pee again and everytime feeling as if I'm not completely emptying my bladder.
