I just got off of Plavix and have been having daily heartburn for a couple of months. I was on plavix for 20 months following a heart stent....
I have been going all day without eating for 15 years. When I get home for the day, I have a few drinks and eat whatever I want. If I eat anything without alcohol I have immediate D. I am now 52. It...
I am the exact opposite. I can only eat after having a drink of vodka. Alcohol is the only thing that will stop a very bad continuous bout of D. I go all day without eating and only eat after a few...
Yes, it was because of side effects of muscle pain to the point that I am in pain every day that I take it. My heart attack was at 51. I certainly don't want to risk another attack, but I don't want...
I have been on Vytorin for nine months. Over the past few months, I take it for a week, and go off for 3 weeks. I know I am rolling the dice, but quality of life has to weigh in at some point. Good...
It is being prescibed to people who have not traveled out of the US. It was prescribed to me and I have not been out of my state in 10 years and never have been out of the country. I have not started...
it and it would be helpful for everyone to know what your longer term results are. Thanks. ...
I have D everyday as well and have it it for 10 or more years. Once a month I might have a normal movement, but then followed by D. You just have to keep trying to find what works for you. I take...
I would like to know how long you took it before it stopped the IBS-D and what dosage you took. Thanks and congratulations....
I know Shelly. Even if you get into some terrible routine like mine, not eating all day and taking meds, anything that is off your normal routine throws you. Life is supposed to be about living and...
Shelly, I totally understand. Yes, I have d every day of my life. I have been dealing with this for about 10 years. I currently use Lomotil (prescript ion) and Imodium (over the counter) every day. I...
Thanks pb4. Were you drinking it daily, and if so, how much a day?...
Well I bought some, so I guess I will give it try. I will post if I see any benefits. Thanks....
What is the Specific Carb diet about? Is it only eating certain carbs? I know carbs in general make my D worse....
It does seem to be different for every individual. When I was first diagnosed I had severe pain which would be completely relieved after a solid stool, but that would be followed by nothing but D....
it. It has a high carb count. Carbs set my stomach off. Has anyone tried this? ...
Hi Ryleigh. I know exactly how you feel. I missed my son's band concert last night because I have had nonstop D for two days. D takes away all your strength and limits your life so much. It can make...
Thanks Sarita...
Thanks Sarita. Does 20mg or 40mg make you sleepy?...
What dosage of the Bentyl works for you? I have a prescript ion of 20mg and it doesn't seem to help....
Thanks for the post. I think I had a bad doctor. It is good to know that IBS should not stop me from having a colonoscopy....
Hi Keriamon. I am not sure if it was a bad doctor, or I am so bound up with adhesions. When I had the first colonoscopy I was awake during the whole thing and as soon as they brought me back to the...
Thank you for all of the responses. I will try to hit on all questions. No I am not afraid of getting the colonoscopy. I have a very sucessful one 12 years ago and it was then that I was diagnosed...
Has anyone been unable to have a colonoscopy? I know I have many adhesions all through my abdomen from previous endometriosis surgeries. I had so much pain I had to hold my breath not to scream. The...
I would like to know if the accupuncture is still working for you. It was recently recommened to to me. Thanks....
Hi Keriamon. I have not had a hysterectomy. When they did the laperotomy where they completely opened me up, they removed part of one ovary because of the damage the endometriosis had done to it. The...
I agree with you Keriamon. As a teenager I would have D sometimes with periods. Then I never had problems with D until after I had my son. I have been in meopause since 38 and I am now 50 years old....
Canyonbabe thank you so much for your post. I think maybe I should get some gallbladder tests. It helps just to know that someone else lived this way. I am sorry you lost your husband. Thanks for...
Thanks for the replies. This is the first time I have ever posted to any group. I don't know why the Vodka works to immediately either stop the D or allow me to eat and not have D. My only guess is...
I am a new member. I have IBS-D, endometriosis and adhesions. I have read posts and seems that alcohol bothers all with D. I can not eat without alcohol. I have D daily and control it during the day...
