Oh the fruit thing. I love fresh fruit but my system cannot handle it. And why plain cookies work, I am not sure. I should check the fat content because of course any fat is miserable for most people...
I would also suggest a trip to your primary doc. Call and tell them what you are experiencing and that you need to see someone in that office. Had to do this July 5th and got in to see the...
Happened to me in the car one day. I knew I wasn't going to make it. Luckily I had a puppy pad in the car from the previous day's trip to the vet and I scrunched it under myself. Just coming up our...
That list is my IBS diet, except for cottage cheese(lactose intolerant). I can also eat very cooked carrots, peaches or pears that have no skin cooked in low sugar syrup or water(sometimes in the...
My IBSD has been awful during this summer, lots of anxiety. I finally had so much pain I went to my dr July 5th. They prescribed Bentyl(dicyclomine) which is an very inexpensive medicine. I started...
Wish I had seen this a long time ago. With my IBS which I have had on and off for my entire life, I do not get nausea or vomit, but when I have eaten a trigger food, I do force myself to vomit and...
Well, I have IBSD and had a horrible flare in mid June. Things would get better then horribly worse. I went to the dr on July 5th. It was that or the hospital. The only way to relieve my cramps was...
Sorry I did not know where you live. But even given that issue, some of the things you mention could be prepared differently. For instance, I can tolerate poached chicken, just white meat cooked in...
I found the pain with gallbladder issues not bearable and ended up in the ER three times before having it out. I am in the US, and they give you very little time to make such decisions...it comes...
No, I have no upper gastro problems at all. My mom had them and I am very familiar with them as I was her caregiver. She had no IBS at all. I am about to take my third dose of the antispasmodic....
I am having a new stage of IBSD these past two weeks whose main symptom seems to be that my guts are burning. It is so debilitating that at time I have to double over in pain. I have had three bouts,...
For the burning of the bum, I use regular toilet wipes, not the commercial hemmy wipes. After a while they can be irritating. And a doctor friend of mine suggested aloe vera gel after every bowel...
Miniabi: most of what you are eating, I would not be able to tolerate with my IBS-D. High fat foods, fried foods, cooked tomatoes would bring on the attack from h__l. Maybe you can go to a good...
Oh I forgot to mention that here in The States, doctors push pills and rarely think meditation, massage, even therapy will fix your issues. It's always take this or that. And most of the side effect...
I have had IBS since I was 19 or so but was diagnosed with it at about age 24, my doctor called it spastic colitis. IBS wasn't formally on the scene then in the US. I had my gall bladder removed at...
