I have been on Topamax 50 mg daily for a little over a year. I really haven't noticed any side effects besides soda tasting flat at first, I suppose I'm just used to it now so it doesn't taste...
Has anyone tried this and has it worked? I have a friend who has IBS and sh said it worked wonders on her...I'm going to get some tomorrow and try it. I'll keep you updated on how it works for me =)...
Thank you for your reply. I haven't tried any other medications, but I do have a great GI doctor. I am going to start trying to eat more fruits and veggies. I don't drink, I haven't had an ounce of...
Thank you so much. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of dietary changes did you make? I'm checking into different things now. I think I may try a suggestion I saw some where about running. I...
Thanks! You know, I've never been a big milk drinker, I honetly can't even tell you the last time I had a glass of milk. I don't like cereal either so I never eat it. The only way I really get milk...
I had an Upper GI and an Upper Scope, the one where they go into you small intestines and the one where they go into your stomach. I think that's what they're called. They did that on me because a...
Our stories sound so much alike it's not funny. If you read the post I just posted it's almost word for word your post. I'm 27 and am going through everything you are. I keep having test after test...
They had me on Hyoscyamine which is the generic for Levsinex. I was taking it once a day. As far as testing my stool, yes, I just submited 3 bags full of my stool samples and nothing was wrong. I had...
Thanks for the advice, I know they will figure it out sooner or later =) Samantha...
Thank you so much!! I posted over there. I love the support here!...
Hello everyone! I am new here and came over from the Chrons board. I am 27 yrs old and have two small children (5 and 3.) I have been dealing with abdominal pain for most of my life. I can remember...
They had thought initially that it was IBS and gave me some meds for it but they didn't help. How did they determine that's what it was? P.S. I forgot to add, my daughter, who is 5 yrs old now has...
Well, I had the colonoscopy and upper GI yesterday and the doctor said that I do not have Chrons, and while that's good, I'm still so very frustrated. I have had a HIDA scan, CT, GI in my stomach and...
lol, I probably should have just thrown up and gotten it over with. Less to come out down there, I didn't know so much could come out of a person!! Thank you all for your laughs and making me smile...
Thanks everyone! Well, I have been getting rid of stuff from down below since I wrote the last reply. I don't feel sick anymore but my booty hurts so bad that I can hardly sit!!! Ouch!!! I can do...
Did you just keep taking it for the test or what? I am sitting here almost sweating because I'm fighting throwing up. I have to drink two more bottles tomorrow!!! Yikes! I hope I make it because I...
Hey all! I am doing my prep for my colonoscopy and GI on Thursday. I just drank my first bottle of magnesium citrate and it's been about 2 hours. I don't feel like I need to poop but I feel like I'm...
I also suggest going to the ER, they will get you whatever you need and it will happen quickly vs. waiting for a doctor/nurse to call and seeing 4 other doctors before someone does anything. *hugs*...
Awww *hugs* We've all been there I think, with or without the disease. Keep your head up and keep moving forward ;)...
That's wonderful news!!! /community/emoticons/yeah.gif Congrats to you!! I wish I could get that momentum back =/...
I too have put on quite a bit of weight. I am not on any meds as I haven't been offically diagnosed yet (April 8th is my lower GI and colon) but in the past 5 years I have been up and down, up and...
We love it here! I guess it depends on the industry that you're in. We live in the Tampa Bay area, very nice!!...
Come to Florida, we welcome you any time!!! =)) I felt no earthquake here!...
I have migranes but a lot of ppl in my family do. It would be an interesting study to see if there's a link somehow....
Thank you so much for posting this link. I too have had sypmtoms since childhood. I haven't been formally diagnosed yet as I have a Lower GI and Colonoscopy May 8th, hopefully they'll be able to tell...
Almost exactly what you posted, major abdominal pain and cramps, tired, very tired. I get migranes as well though =/...
Thank you all *SO* much for your warm welcome. They have me scheduled for the Lower GI and Colonoscopy on May 8th, hopefully they'll get answers then. It's nice to know you're not alone and going...
I had an endoscopy, CT, Ultrasound, and HIDA scan (for gallbladder function) and all were normal. However, I'm getting ready to have another type of CT done where they expand the bowels? Also, they...
Hello to all! I have been going through a very long process of having every test under the sun done on me only to be told that I'm "normal" nothing is wrong. I went to an awesome doctor yesterday who...
