What should I do and dont do when I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

---

I have a severe form of IBS I am very sick a lot and I need some help in understanding it. I need someone who has it also and what they find that makes them sick, foods that bother them, how to deal with the pain, how to stop the bathroom use all the time and so on. If you can help me that would be great!

I have IBS and tried promax extreme and it gave me awful diarehha almost as soon as I took it.

hi what is irritable bowel syndrome and what is the treatment ?

---

i think i have irritable bowel. i am in so much pain
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is an intestinal disorder that causes abdominal pain or discomfort, cramping or bloating, and diarrhea or constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome is a long-term but manageable condition.
The main symptoms of IBS are crampy pain in the stomach area (abdomen), and painful diarrhea or constipation. Most people have either diarrhea or constipation, but some people have both. Other symptoms are mucus in the stool, swollen or bloated abdomen, and the feeling that you have not finished a bowel movement. IBS has no cure, but you can do things to relieve symptoms. Treatment may involve diet changes, medicine, stress relief, or a combination of things to see what works best for you. You can read more about IBS here

There are no medications that really work for ALL people. I use peppermint tea for any pain I have, and it helps. I also watch what foods I eat. Last night was terrible, I had eaten something I eat all of the time, but this time, my intestines did not like it. IBS is a learning process, but can be lived with. Google it(or yahoo search) and learn all you can. Don't spend a lot of money on prescriptions, get samples if possible. Each of us react differently, so as an individual you must find your own way. I have used Equalactin and it works really well. I use it when going somewhere and don't want to be on the toilet the whole time. It is an OTC medicine, available at most drug counters. (Again, search engine it). Stress will exasperate the problem, so if you are in a relationship that is stressful, you will have more symptoms. You can't eliminate all stress, but you can determine your life styles, relationships and foods and work with that. It sounds like a lot of work, but I have gone from diarrhea daily to maybe once every 3-4 months.  (+ info)

anyone know a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome?

---

that actually WORKS? All the usual remedies (electrolytes, fibre, prescription and over the counter medicines, bland diet) don't work and doctors don't seem to be able to cure it either. Thanks in advance.

I have both ulcerative colitis and Irritable bowel syndrome?

---

Has anyone else got the two together? I sometimes cant go to the toilet for days. Now Ive just recently started taking medication for the Ulcerative colitis but it seems to only make things worse. The other night I had constant stomach ache but didn't go to the toilet. Now when I eat I simply feel sick. I have been to the toilet but just a bit each time. What should I do. The doc said I should just caryr on on the meds and everything should get better but this is painful :-(
you might need more fiber in your diet. i have irritable bowel syndrome where i will have pain in my groin. i know a good fiber that might help, miralax is a fiber you should use, i also have diverticulitis which is very pain full.  (+ info)

How many MGs of prednisone for irritable bowel syndrome?

What would be an ideal or average starting amount?
This depends on what dosage your doctor prescribes and how bad IBS is. They will usually start with a high dosage, then wean you down a little at a time until you don't need it. Talk to your doctor about your treatment.  (+ info)

How long one can take Nux vomica 200 for irritable bowel syndrome?

---

For my IBS I have got rasonably good results in one month by taking nux vomica 200,4 pills 3 times /day.Are there any side effects after long term tratment with nux vomica? how long i can continue safely.I am 61 yrs and otherwise I have good health and no other disease as such.
That preparation you are taking contains no active ingredients. Not one. IBS symptoms come and go, this is the natural course of the disease. How do you KNOW your IBS has got better as a result of the sugar/starch pills you ingested? You are confusing correlation with causation and the two posters above are snake oil salesman.  (+ info)

is it possible to have irritable bowel syndrome at the age of 19?

---

my stomach has been REALLY SCREWED UP the past 6 months.

can i fix this with a change of diet?

i admit i eat very unhealthy, drink 2-3 cans of soda daily, eat meat only, eat popcorn frequently, never visit the restroom when i have to (too lazy).
Yes, it's very possible. The first thing you will need to do is change your diet by avoiding trigger foods. Do an online search for IBS trigger foods and you'll see what I mean. Good luck.  (+ info)
