Hoping that you feel better! I need to gain weight also! Very difficult to do when many foods bother you!
Hi, I have recently relocated to another country. How soon do you explain your illness to new friends? I’m going to run out of excuses to meet up with them soon 😳
I also have fibromyalgia so have flare ups with that also,so double the cancellations!
I try too tell friends
Many of them don"t get it.
My friend who is a nutritionist suggested Activated Charcoal and eliminate carbs and sugar for awhile. Her daughter has ulcerative colitis and goes to an alternative dr.
What are any other suggestions.
Sounds interesting!
Since i was tested and found out that i have many food allergies, i have excluded the foods I’m allergic to and now i feel so much better.
My ENT tested me. He knew right away with all my symptoms that it was food allergies.
I was diagnosed with IBS over 30 yrs ago. I will vomit quite a bit during my attack. It will seemed blocked at first. Then the vomiting comes, sometimes before I have a break through (explosion) and sometimes during going. After what I call my attack I’m so depleted and weak, I have nothing left in me. I’ll go to bed. I’ve never seen anyone mention that they also vomit? I’ve been to the Er twice in the last 6 month after an attack. Once I was very low in potassium, and the other magnesium.

So sorry to hear this Donna! I have never experienced this! I hope that you feel better soon!
I have Celiac disease and IBS. I have lost 13 lbs the past year and am struggling with trying to gain it back . It seems I gain a few pounds then suffer a flare and lose it
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. 😒
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!
Nothing I usually do seems to be helping lately (ie fiber, pre/probiotics, peppermint caps)
DX is medical term for diagnosis. EPI is Endocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency….. not enough digestive enzymes are produced by my pancreas. Can’t afford the “Creon” prescription for that so I try to use… read more
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
