[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I already have bowel incontinence from ibs when I’m about to get my period and if I drink coffee or eat too much fiber. Like fruit or veg. It’s no fun. It has happened at work. I practically had to make a stealthy escape with no underwear. No fun. I do have prediabetes but only take metformin. I can’t imagine getting worse in the bowels department. [/quote]

Have you had your pancreas scanned?  I know someone who had these symptoms and her doctor called it IBS when it was actually pancreatic cancer.[/quote]

No but I have had an endoscopy and colonoscopy and both were clear. It does seem to correlate with my period and coffee, but now I’ve got this on my radar. Thank you, will look into it but my blood tests have been fine.

It's normal to have increased bowel movement during the beginning of the period.  It's called "cramps" for a reason.  Your lower abdomen is "busy", this has effect on your intestines too. Increased pooping during hormonal changes is not uncommon. Caffeine is known to facilitate bowel movements.  You gotta love it when someone jumps to terrifying conclusions like pancreatic cancer when discussing these very common effects.
