rwkoch Thanks for the reply! I have actually already tried a gluten-free diet and it didn't help :( I've done dairy-free too and can't seem to find anything that makes it better. I'm wondering if IBS...
AudreyBear Let me just say this first-- I have had to have both a colonoscopy and endoscopy....I was terrified to have it done but afterwards I realized there was nothing bad about it at all. The...
Red_34 Thanks for the reply back! No...that's what my doctor asked too, so I've been thinking back and there wasn't anything more stressful going on at that time. But it's just so weird since it was...
AubreyBear I have not gone to an allergist. Are your "severe" allergies related to your IBS and make it worse for you? Thanks for the info on the relation between IBS and environmental allergies! I...

I was wondering if anyone has or has heard of Habba Syndrome? And what exactly is this?...
Sounds like you have gone through quite a bit! My dad and grandma have diverticular disease, definitely not fun stuff! When you have flares from IBS or UC, how often do you have D if you are not...
Has anyone tried the FODMAP diet? If so, how effective was it?...
I know you had said you are in remission now, but what kinds of things were you, or are you, taking/doing to help with the UC?...
I also am keeping a food journal. How did the plain food settle with the digestive system? And my understanding of IBS is that it is a diagnosis of exclusion. So I was wondering how the doctor(s)...
I've been on the diet for about a week and a half now and next week I go to the GI to see how the diet worked. I wouldn't think that would be enough time to see if the diet works or not...that's...

Majority of times my D is a yellowish, mustard color but it is ALWAYS mucousy. There are times when it is more of a loose stool but definitely not normal. I don't have pain in the upper abdominal...
Yes, I have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy, blood tests testing from multiple things including thyroid, stool cultures (many, many of those), and an MRI of the small intestine. Everything has came...
With IBS, does it come on suddenly? One day, 6 months ago, I just all of a sudden started having diarrhea/loose stools every time I went to the bathroom. I am still having that problem. There is also...
The doctor has not diagnosed me with IBS or anything yet. I called his nurse today and she said she would discuss with him about putting a test in for me to have a HIDA scan done....
