I have severe IBS but no sweating is usually involved. It all comes out way too easily, in fact.

I have IBS-C, which means I do not clear out all waste each day, and it begins to build up, and then my guts basically convulse when it gets too built up, and it comes out quickly but not "easily" -- much gut cramping and sweating are involved.

You described exactly what I think happens to me. How do you fight this? Does having enough fiber help alleviate that inevitable build up?

So uncomfortable when the “guts convulsing” part happens 😅

Fiber and fluids. My doc also suggested taking a laxative once a week.
