IBS, taking deep breaths and vomiting

Sounds like how I started, good luck. your pain in the lower left? Mine was and hasn't gone away for over a year now, sometimes it can get to cover my entire abdominal area. It has been over a month since I was able to wake up without nausea, and dry heave a lot. Accupuncture worked for a while, but my symptoms just kept getting worse until accupuncture didn't even work. And I was skeptic of accupunture too. I have no insurance now so i am screwed, but if you have insurance don't let a dr. tell you it is just stress or depression or just dairy or wheat. Stay on them becuase they may sound all sincere or 100% correct, but the truth is they forget about you before you start your car in their parking lot. Don't let a dr. tell you that you will learn to deal with it, because in truth avoiding certain foods can help, but you need them to give you a solution. Make the Dr. earn their $200 a visit!! Good luck

Neither foods or stress cause IBS, but both contribute to generating the symptoms.

" The fact is, I get it when I'm really relaxed"

Stress has a delayed reaction. Nor is this the kind of stress you thinking about.

IBS is consider a chronic condition and there is not a cure. There are effective ways to manage the condition however for most people.

Its important to understand the connections to stress and depression and IBS as much as it is understanding foods and IBS, even the act of eating.

A good doctor will be able to tell the difference between IBS and gallbladder problems.

You should read over this sites carefully.

Hi, thanks. I couldn't get the link on your first post to work. Yes, I know it is very complex. I guess I am just trying to find people to talk to who understand aas noone I know really understands.
So what sort of stress is linked to IBS? Forgive me if it says in the link- it doesn't work!
