I have my first appointment with an acupuncturist this eeek and I’m wondering if anyone has asked if acupuncture can help with IBS?
I use acupuncture for a back problem. On occasion it seems to help the IBS until I has diverticulitis.
It's come about over the last few months where my fingers are swollen and the joints sore mainly on my right hand. Also it seems to be affecting my shoulder and neck. For many years I've had lower back issues and sciatica.
You are not alone. Have had the same rhings
Hi there, I'm new to this group. I have IBS c symptoms. Had anyone tried poopari spray or similar options? It is so embarrassing to have your family or spouse walk into the restroom after having an IBS flare. Any suggestions?
Hi, I've just made my own with 1tsp of rubbing alcohol or vodka 15 drops of essential oil, 1 TSP liquid soap and topped up with boiled water. Shake before use. Much cheaper than commercial variety… read more
I have been taking cholestyramine powder for about 6 months and if you take it you know it is not pleasant. It does not dissolve in liquid and if not mixed up vigorously you are swallowing lumps of orange powder. If there is anyone out there who takes it and has found a halfway bearable way of taking it I would greatly appreciate any advice. It helps so well for me but I want to puke everytime I drink it. What sucks is just about everything bothers me and I NEED to take this medication if I ever… read more
I been taking it for a month but I can't stand the taste. I tried everything. I been struggling with my IBS-D and IBS-C for many years. Even mixing it with crystal light it still tastes disgusting.

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!
Does anyone have experience with Colestid for someone with mixed IBS, but technically IBS D, spastic colon, and has had their gall bladder removed?
I too go for 2-3 days with IBSC then it’s awful. Loose control. Lots of “accidents”.
Can toxic thoughts and emotions cause digestive disorders like Irritable Bowel syndrome
My son passed 3 years ago of an OD. Ever since then I've had IBS issues.

Hi, I am new here. I have had what I believe is IBS-D for many years. About 15 years ago I saw a GI doc, had a colonscopy, and was told to just take a fiber supplement. The fiber supplement made me much worse. Last year I was tested for Celiac and the test was negative. I have also tried a gluten free diet without success. Also had a test for my pancreas and that is normal as well
I am seeing a different GI doctor now and am scheduled for Colonscopy soon. He thinks my issue is likely IBS… read more
