It just doesn't happen after I eat. I could wake up and be on the toilet an hour later without eating or drinking a thing. But I do know fatty foods, such as KFC, HJ"s etc can set me off but it doesn't happen all the time either.

MG - I am not worried about having a colonoscopy done, I just haven't seen a GP to get a referral to have one done yet. The reason why I mentioned the diverticular was mainly due to the family history of it which I only have really found out about in the last year. It is definitely on the to-do list to see the GP, because I don't like being like this.

I hope out of the two it is IBS. I don't want another thing passed down to me. Bloody genetics !!
