Could Frequent Bowels Be Due To Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Hi, I am a 23 yrs male. I have a habit of going to toilet twice in the morning since 8 years. But now since the past 5 6 months have created a Phobia instead. I need to go many times a day and i can pass my stool completely. Docter said i have IBS while another said i have acute on chronuc colitis. And Whenever I think of going out somewhere, or to travel to another city I estart getting worried that What if I start feeling to poop, and there is no toilet near , and different fears related to it. So,I almost avoided all out of city tours. Please help me.

Hello

From history,it appears that you are suffering from IBS,so I agree with your first doctor's opinion.
Your description is typical of IBS.
This is a manageable condition.
You may diet and life style modification.
Besides medicines you should take lot of fibers in your diet.Go for long walk regularly.
Short course of antibiotics and anti-motility drugs are helpful in this case.
As there is some psychological anxiety in this case,so you may need evaluation by a psychologist.

Get well soon.
