Hi! I have suffered from IBS for about 10 yrs now as diagnosed by 2 colonoscopies.
I am recently suffering again from probably what I can say has been the worst episode
I have ever had nono
The cramps are so horrific they are like menstrual cramps that radiate to my back.
It feels like my intestines are twisting or having spasms inside there.
I don't really have meds or a diet, but eat very very healthy. No junk food.
I am not quite sure what to do at this point in my life -
I also feel very weak and fatigued when I get this pain.
Anybody out there can lend some advice.

Thanks

Maybe it's time to check in w/ your doc. Just to make sure nothing else is going on, and get their advice on diet and treatment options. Just a thought.

Also, it is my understanding that IBS isn't really diagnosed by doing a colonoscopy, IBS is more of a label given when a bunch of tests have ruled out all other diseases. Sorry, not trying to pick on you or pick apart what you wrote, just wanted to make sure you are aware and that your doc gave you accurate info about what's going on with you.

Are you drinking lots of water/staying well hydrated? Do you have constipation or diarrhea? I don't really have any advice for you regarding diet, I'm still trying to figure out that piece myself...not having much luck identifying which foods help/hurt.

I hope you are able to get some relief soon!
