I have googled and googled and here I am. I am young ( only 19 years old) my GI diagnosed me with IBS gave me bentyl for my spasms and I prayed that would help me so when that didn't pan out help me a friend told me a try some prebiotics a try I literally tried it everyday so back to the GI because I was doubling over in pain from pain in my ribs ( both sides) she told me to try RX poly glycol and hooray it actually worked for awhile
but soon I went to the bathroom too much and 2 weeks later I am back in pain. My doesn't eat red meat and we never allow sugary foods so I know there isn't any fructose anywhere in our household ( I remember hearing fructose can be a flare up) It is so hard figuring out what can be a flare-up and what can not be a flare-up) I have heard magnesium can be helpful for IBS is this true?? Is it the vitamins?? Is the hydrogen breath test still done ( I remember reading it in a book to rule out which foods can flare up) I hear rumbling in my stomach what could that be?? Could the pains on my right side be a pulled muscle of some sort?? The pain is only on my right side under my rib and sometimes it is under my left side under my left rib but generally it is my right and very,very painful and I nothing seems to help and I do mean nothing and unless I stop eating ( which I have sometimes) and having bowel moments isn't helping and my gramma tried giving omeprazole to see if that would settle my stomach and it didn't work either. I am begging please someone help a 19 year old ( I am not a troll) I have found some answers ( by googling which lead me here) now I just need someone who actually has this problem and can relate and did the doctor say you had IBS or did say you had something else that is what I need to know.......
