  The word "Blog" is short for "Web-log", or, in other words, your own personal online journal. Now, you may have heard of Blogs before, or this may be the first time you've ever seen this word. It doesn't really matter all that much, because one of the greatest things about Blogs is that they're so easy to use that ANYONE can have one!

But what would you do with a Blog? Good question. The greatest thing about owning and maintaining your own Blog can be summed up in one word: Freedom. Once you've created a Blog, you can do with it what you want. Do you want to keep it private and for your eyes only? Go ahead! Do you want to forward your Blog to friends and family so they can keep up with your life? It's your choice. It's up to you whether you update once a month, once a week, once a day, or multiple times a day. You can write IBS tips of the week, or recount stories of your early days with IBS. It may be hard to grasp, but this is your Blog and, therefore, what it's used for is up to you! Once you create a Blog, it becomes your own personal bit of webspace that you can customize to your liking.

Now, onto that other question (bet you thought we forgot, didn't you?) A Blogging Community is a group of Bloggers (AKA: Blog Writers) who all write about a similar topic or subject of interest. Here at IBS Blogs, all of the Bloggers are talking about IBS; how it affects their lives; special tips and tricks they have for dealing with it; touching, funny, and interesting stories about friends and family and all things IBS-related. That's right, there are hundreds of other people like you, writing daily, weekly, monthly about their lives and IBS. We are a support group, a population of friends, a space for debate and agreement, thought, information, and entertainment.

Why not step up with us? Sign up, and get started! If things get confusing, we have a Help section to help you out. Now let's get on with it! We're all waiting for you, and can't wait for you to join us.

Ibs=low immune system

I have gotten so many sinus infections in the last 3 or 4 months, it is insane! I toughed it out yesterday, but work has been so slow that it actually makes things worse, not to mention I got in trouble for idk standing? oh and chewing gum. Yea. Gum! So I called in today bc I feel crappy and if I get yelled at, I might just walk out. Too...
last night i stated to feel this pain in the middle of my stomach and only a half hour later my lower stomach was killing me. i felt like i was being stabbed by a knife and i felt like i was going to die. Not to mention i began to start erratically shaking directly after my stomach would gurgle or shoot up with pain. This persisted for an hour...
Abstract -- Delayed gastric emptying (GE) is called gastroparesis (associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome -constipation). The following procedure was developed to produce gastric emptying. Drinking coffee is a pre-requisite for the anti-gastro paretic effects of the procedure. The procedure, in a nutshell, is this: for one hour after taking...
Ok, so people with Ibs type d KNOW what I go through every day. When I wake up in the morning until i go home at night, i am always looking out for the nearest available bathroom. Oh, this sucks! Im now in my late 20s, graduated from college, and working full time. I've had ibs since i was in the 5th grade. Everything I do involves having...
So I have been looking over my research notes. So IBS almost always proceeds a stressor; a bout of anit biotics, extreme stress, infections, viruses, and other diseases that lower the bodies immune system. I started thinking about this and how most people with AIDS have some form of IBS. I was going nuts. So IBS can cause neurological,...

My IBS-C story

To be honest, I've been avoiding this website for many years now because I've been in such denial about having IBS. Ironically enough my IBS-C began a few months after I was food poisoned. I was only thirteen years old, already suffering with Dysthymia and going through your typical teenage angst. IBS was just another unwelcome visitor. At...

Day 1

Day 1... it sounds so... new. In all actuality, this condition is not new. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2008. The IBS has slowly crept up. I suffer from IBS-A. In the last six months, I have had three episodes, so I went to the doctor Friday. They actually diagnosed me with IBS Friday. It is now 3 am on Sunday, and I've dealt...
Hey all it has been awhile since I've been on the form I guess I thought that if I dint think about my ibs it would magically go away ..... Well I was wrong . I can't seem to get a grip on it I have done everything asked of me by my GI doctor and even tried a few things out that were suggested to me by people on here and still no change....
How do you deal with flares when your at work or school? For me it takes atleast a few hours to feel normal again or get to the point where i can get back to doing what i was doing. I usually take a hot shower just to get my body to relax, or sit with a heating pad for a few hours. but i can't do that while im at work or school. i could prob...
New website.

Depression kicks in again

Last post was Oct 9, that means I haven't have a major episode for three months which is amazing news. I think this is the first post I made here not because I have a painful eposide but I have painful dose of hopelessness feelings. For days / weeks I haven't been able to do anything even I know that I have to get something done for my...

Traveling with flair up

Just recently diagnosed with IBS having really bad flair up and having to travel for work. Normally I don't have to travel but needed continuing education. Almost in tears that I have to drive for 2 hours through morning and evening travel. How embarrassing to think I might have to something that a baby wears who is not potty trained...

IM back

I got a new laptop so can now access the internet again.
Today I went to see the GI doctor today.The doctor told me I got post infectious IBS which he said was a good thing compared to just IBS because it will eventually go away. I've been feeling lousey for the past 4 months in and out of the doctors office but now that I saw the GI I feel confident that he knows what he's doing and will "...

So far so good!

I've enjoyed little to no symptoms these past few months thanks to sticking to mostly water and having a regular intake of yogurt. I'm sure my regular running and working out has helped a lot as well! Eating at the same time every day is important to me, as well as eating smaller meals and I'm religious about sticking to it. My...

i hate what i have

Hello,

Newbie

I just started using this site today. I'm not exactly sure why I suddenly decided to start looking at forums and websites, but I think it has to do with my upcoming colonoscopy. Basically I got blood tests done a few months back and my results came back high in the proteins that they check for Crohn's Disease. I am getting checked on...
