See a doctor.
Might not be the movement as much as stress.

I've recently been dealing with the IBS thing and here's what helps me;

Note: I had both a colonoscopy and an upper endoscopy. The only thing they found was one very small polyp and erosion from GERD in my esophagus (I also have a hiatal hernia).

1.) I take a probiotic called Align (clinical studies have shown it effective in helping reduce the symptoms of IBS). One pill in the morning - it takes a couple of weeks to see the effects - it doesn't work for everyone - but it was a big help for me.

2.) When I get a flair-up I take Pepto (I take the liquid). I take it as few times as possible because it will plug you up.

Now one of the things I've been experiencing is really bad indigestion. I've narrowed it down to a couple of foods that I never had a problem with before. I'm taking Prilosec for the GERD, which has eliminated the heartburn (I don't need antacids at all anymore). I've recently added a digestive enzyme supplement to my routine which I take with each meal. I'm going to test it with one of the foods that triggers the indigestion to see if it helps with that or not.

The other thing I'm doing is losing weight - I've managed to pack on quite a few pounds over the past few years. I know when I'm lighter I never get heartburn.

 

Never leave home without Immodium.

The nurse at my doctor's office said it's like using a band-aid to treat an arm that's been sawed off, ... but ... the load's got to be delivered SOMEHOW.

 

10years ? seriously! you should go and get an appointment with a doctor..

 

I also have IBS if i'm home i'm fine. but when i leave the house i worry so bad about were a bathroom is and can i get there in time. Its so bad its causing panic attacks that the doctor said i can't do anything about it. He has me on xanax,and zolaff and something else. so i can't work probably will lose my cdl. i really miss driving! Good luck.

 

Sounds like it could potentially be stress induced. I'd consult a physician and try any of the homeopathic remedies. Past that, become the first man to invent the "hoverhauler" and never work another day in your life!

 

That's one of the main things I'm kind of worried about. I've had IBS for over 10 years plus I'm lactose intolerant and I have food allergies. I'm usually a mess before 12 noon because I have to use the bathroom at least 3 or 4 times to be "empty". Common foods like coffee, chocolate, garlic, desserts, beans, onions, dairy cause me all sorts of apocalyptic gastrointestinal stress.
