Oh Stomach flu, what a glorious time......this past January there was an evil bug that went around town that i of course contacted. I'd been diagnosed with IBS for about 2 years at this point but it...
Yeah, I have sorta a dull pain that feels like it rests right under the bottom of my spine and points inward towards the rectum. I thought it had something to do with literally sitting all day at...
Thanks so much for your advice friends! I'm actually scheduled to meet with my GI doc today so I'll run that by him and see what he thinks....
So, I haven't posted in a while because I was starting to feel somewhat, dare I say...normal? Normal in the sense that since I got off the xilflaxin, (which I HIGHLY recommend) I'd have one sort of...
So, I have good news to report from the GI. First of all, he's a great guy, really nice and listened to every and all crazy tale I had about my lovely bowel problems. After going through the IBS-C to...
What an amazing story! I have a few questions though, how do you burn the AA without it burning through through the ginger? Is the point to be sorta breathing in the vapors? Can you buy wormwood leaf...
So, Day 3 of Xiflaxin. I will say this, last night I ate an equally as big of a meal as day two and had no trapped gas issues after. Ever since I started this on Monday, I've noticed that right...
Okay, so day 2 of the Ixflaxin. Last night the trapped gas pain was back in full effect, but I did eat a pretty full meal. It felt like ages since I'd ate anything really. The D is gone, I've had a...
I am now on Xiflaxin. I suffered from IBS - C for almost 2 years before I went on a trip to India this summer. To say that constipation was no longer the issue on the trip would be an understatement,...
Oh, another quick thing, I'd been drinking quite a bit of vitamin water (like Gatorade) recently so that I wouldn't become dehydrated from all the d, but could that be making it worse? Last but not...
I've read in a couple of posts of a problem that I'm starting to come across. Its like I feel the gas almost comes out but then it sorta bubbles in the rectum and doesn't really ever come out. And...
Thank you everyone, I agree. Wine I think is how I'll go at it for a while but just in moderation. I'm trying out a combo of fiber/calcium pills/actvia to see of my stomach can't start to get back on...
I gotta be honest here folks, my recent cycle from c to d has been pretty horrible. I gave up the coffee right off the bat for obvious reason, and I really haven't drank a whole lot of alcohol...
Forgive this question because I can't tell from your sign in name...but are you a female? Because if so, the 21-27 days episode may be hormone related. I know for sure that's how my IBS started. I...
7Lil, Thanks so much for your reply, I hope this doesn't come off as stupidity, but can you tell me some examples of pro-biotics? I get that the yogurt would help and I'm going to start on that...
Okay, so the parasite test and blood test was negative. Whew! But I'm still having major issues. My IBS was ALWAYS a constipation thing, and it would especially flare up near my periods. The whole...
Keriamon, thank you so much for your reply. I am a bit freaked out about the parasite deal. I was OCD about Bottled water when I was over there and NEVER drank from the tap or anything. I just sent...
Okay, I've just read through several of the postings and I can't belive my eyes. This is what I think I have (IBS) and now its all starting to make sense. But I still have a few questions if any one...
