Digestive issues are actually quite common with fibromyalgia, so you're definitely not alone in experiencing this after years of living with the condition.

Many people with fibromyalgia develop symptoms like bloating, constipation, and other digestive discomforts. IBS in particular is frequently seen alongside fibromyalgia. It's worth noting that fibromyalgia symptoms can evolve over time, and new symptoms appearing years later isn't unusual. Here are some digestive-related things to be aware of:

- Bloating and constipation are among the most commonly reported digestive symptoms
- IBS frequently overlaps with fibromyalgia
- Urinary symptoms like irritable bladder can also develop alongside digestive issues

Since diverticulitis can have its own complications, it's really important to keep your doctor informed about all your symptoms so they can help manage everything together.
