Watery flatulence???

So I’ve been dealing with watery flatulence for the past couple of months. I went to the doctor and they performed blood work and lab work on a stool sample—everything looked fine, but my doctor is suspecting IBS and wants to send me to a gastroenterologist. However, I recently felt a lump near my anus while showering, which I am thinking might be a hemorrhoid (not painful and no bleeding). If so, could this be related to the bowel issues?  Appreciate any insight.

i have IBS and developed rapidly worsening hemorrhoids a result.  i bit the bullet & got a hemorrhoidectomy @Scott Mayer

with IBS, good to be proactive on signs of hemorrhoids.  A visit to a specialist can put your mind at ease @Scott Mayer

I’d guess the flatulence is related to the IBS, not the hemorrhoids.  That said, the IBS exacerbate flare-ups, making them worse rapidly

Agree.  If that lump doesn’t recede, I’d go see a proctologist, although a GI should be able to tell too.
