Thanks Marydean, always good info Will head to the chemist tomorrow and see what I can find. In the meantime my SIL gave me some gastro-stop tablets (they say for loose bowel movements too) so i've just taken 2 of those. FX!

You could actually be constipated. Basically you can be so blocked that all that makes it through is either gas or runny.

Really?

I think maybe if you were that constipated you would feel very constipated and quite uncomfortable down there.....I have been that constipated before and there is no way I wouldn't have noticed the sensation of it being THAT clogged up, it was horrible! But I don't know enough about it to know if you could get that that point and not feel it?
You said you feel fine now but have you had any pain or felt off at any time since it started? Just wondering if it started as gastro but your bowel hasn't sorted itself out yet, it can take a couple weeks to be totally back to normal even after you feel well.

[Astrid]

Not true. Some people can be very constipated and just not feel it that same as others. It is different for everyone.

It probably isn't likely for me. I say this only because I have always had frequent soft stools and gas (this is why I suspect mild IBS) But never like this. I haven't needed to go to the loo since I took the gastro-stop/ But I am now eating dinner so should know in about half hour lol.
