Discomfort in abdominal area
I have been noticing discomfort in abdominal area from past 10 days , plus this I frequently pass gases . Off late I was diagnosed with polyps back 5 years back . They were benin and removed accordingly . Went back for colonoscopy after a year of surgery and every thing turned fine . I frequently have episodes of abdominal Discomfort and doc said it's IBD ,. Now I see a different pattern I go to sleep at 10 pm and at 6 am as soon as I wake up I notice abdominal Discomfort . This Discomfort goes off as soon as I go for a poop . Now I am bit under stress why this is happening , please advise .

I think with this symptoms dr must have told you to have ibs rather than ibd . Still bcoz u had history of polyp being removed needs proper review of your history and repeat colonoscopy if required.

It is very common with IBD due to increased activity of colon It slows down  a lot  while you sleep Because of that, if someone has an active IBD flare that involves their colon, their symptoms could worsen when they wake up.
