Dont understand

Posted by Brittany123 , 11 May 2012 · 80 views

I dont understand this. why does my stomach aches always come back. It has been hurting since monday and it is now friday and it is still hurting. My symptoms are all coming back. Every single time i eat, no matter what it is that i am eating i will get a stomach ache. Im so tired of constantly being in pain. Sometimes i feel that ibs is an evil curse and that once it comes it will always come back. I do not understand how one week i could be doing fine and than all of a sudden i can be in pain the next day out of the blue. All i know is that i am sick of this constant back and fourth of feeling good and than feeling horriable. I am also scared that it is going to get back to how it use to be. Where i could not do anything at all. Im scared that my medicne is going to stop worrking and then it will be right back to the beginning of trying to figure out what to do and how i am going to get through it. When my pain is here it is here for a while and i just never know when the heck it is going to leave all i know is that it better leave soon because i can not do this a ll over agin. I just want to have more than a couple of weeks of feeling good. But everytime i feel good for a couple of weeks than i feel horriable for a week or more. All i have to say is that ibs is the worse thing ever and i feel like it is never going to go away, i feel like i am never going to be a normal girl with a normal life. And this is all because of one thing my annoying ibs.

Have you considered trying the FODMAPS diet? you should talk to your doc about it (or google it) sometimes it isnt a specific food but a combination of foods that upset your tummy. It has worked great for me, maybe you should give it a try

hope that helps!

I understand these pains. I have just started going through all this. I have constipation with all the other symptoms. I hurt worse after I eat certain things in my upper intestinal area. I feel bloated and pain alot. I been freakin out about it and need help myself. I haven't been properly diagnosed but all the symptoms sound like mine.

Hi, Brittany. I was just officially diagnosed with IBS after having gone through every test in the book including a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I was referred to try the FODMAP diet and of course, wanting to just feel better I dived right in. I was able to get all the information I needed about this from the book IBS: Free at last... I bought it as a Kindle book for less than $7 but you can get it as a hard copy as well. You can find a lot of free information on this but honestly, the book broke it down so well that I felt as though that purchased saved me HOURS of trying to figure it all out. After 3 days on the diet I feel so much better!!! Of course, I am only on day 4 so it may be the honey moon stage, but seriously- if you are truly sick of feeling terrible then what do you have to lose? Sure it involves some sacrifice, but the diet is broken down into a 2 week elimination phase and then a challenge phase where you start to challenge the different food groups to figure out which ones are the worst. The goal would be to start being able to eat the most variety that you can while keeping symptoms away.

Good luck.
