For the past at least 10 years I have had abdominal pain. Anywhere from excruciating to bearable but its always there. Diarrhea and constipation. Sometimes blood. Always bloated and feel like I always need to go to the bathroom. Cant tell you the last time I had an actual normal solid stool. Always diarrhea or pencil shaped. Skinny and short sometimea long. Recently diagnosed as IBS. But nothing helps!! Father died at age 35 with colon cancer. Grandfather had it as well
