I know personally I retain a lot of fluid during my flare ups. But I've gained and I really don't eat much when I do. I've gain up to 20lbs being sick and all I can do is sleep through it.
Yes it's hard to lose or maintain weight I think its inflammation and water retention and when you feel well I take advantage and eat up while I can so that's why I think I have 10 lbs that comes off… read more
I am to the point that I'm afraid to go out anywhere in case of an IBS flare-up. I know there are products like Depends for urinary incontinence but is there anything for those of us with IBS problems, fecal incontinence?
I too have had many accidents. It’s so embarrassing and humiliating. I thought I was the only one! And thank you for the tip of tearing Depends down the side. Very helpful.
I don't know if I'm eating something that I shouldn't I followed the fodmaps and his best I can no wheat rye or barley very very little sugar once in a while Splenda even though they say no artificial sugar very little bread once or twice a week and that's gluten free and then I get this gas of an evening and I'm like three or four times into the bathroom to pass the gas cuz I'm not sure what's going to happen when I do a small amount of bowel movement just a little bit not diarrhea sometimes I… read more

I was just wondering does anyone experience body aches and fatigue with IBS? Last night after I went to sleep I started having body aches and was like NO!! I can.t get sick... I did have a flare up yesterday and it when on all day and apparently through the night with the aches and then this morning too. I've been on a light diet since yesterday. Just curious if body aches is normal. I feel so sleepy and run down
Lately I have been having lower back pains when I have major attacks. Looking forward to getting home and seeing my doctors and get answers.
One day at a time! Had a good day today!
Is it just me or is anyone else tired even after a really goodnights sleep
I wake up exhausted. Want to sleep more but can’t! Want to exercise but am too fatigued.
My old GP diagnosed me 10 years ago with IBS but i never knew i should have seen a specialist until now. I'm just wondering how many more out there haven't seen a specialist
I've seen a GI doctor since 2011.
Most times, after moving my bowels I have the constant feeling of still having to go. I do go a lot but it takes many bowel movements until the feeling goes away. It is miserable. I am happiest on days when I don’t go at all!
Can anyone else identify with this and is there anything that helps. Thanks.
Mine too. Constipation for almost 2 weeks, and then diarrhea for a week. I suffer from migraine as well. I am afraid I'm going to get fired. 😒
Many thanks for your suggestion☺️
If you tested positive, your doc should have given you an antibiotic for it. But for me, i also had to go off Gluten because Gluten feeds the SIBO, so that's how I got rid of it completely. I went off… read more
