Hi All I have been struggling for a while with sore/burning pain in the centre of my chest behind the breastbone and up in the throat when walking/going up stairs. I used to get it after a night of drinking but now it is constant. I can feel it a little when I am sat still but it in generally...

Hello! I am very annoyed right now. Here is my tale of woe. Since Friday the 8th, I have had chronic abdominal pain. Mostly in the center of my abdomen and right above the belly button. A burning, aching pain and sensation of fullness. For awhile there, every time my stomach growled (in normal...

My question is probably for people that have been dealing with IBS for more than a couple years: Do IBS symptoms come and go and come and go? Do the symptoms change frequently enough that you sometimes wonder if you've been misdiagnosed? I have been diagnosed with IBS C/D with spastic colon...

Hi all ive been suffering from IBS since i was alittle kid. mainly alternating between constipation and diarrhea. about three months ago i started have this massive rash perianally. it looked alot like hemorrhoids, but it would go away after two weeks or so. it is hard to sit for an extended...

About a week ago, I became extremely gassy. And I mean gassy. With that gas, I've had constipation, diarrhea, and burping. My bowels have been a yellowish color, pretty soft. Sometimes some stuff floats. Today, I've been experiencing a burning sensation a bit below my belly button. it's appeared...

*Warning, Graphic* Last Saturday, when I had one of my most recent really satisfactory BMs, I noticed that it really, really burned as it was all coming out, and it was the bright yellow color that my diarrhea usually has (I actually had diarrhea then, I think)...I was in an ergonomic chair...

Hello everyone! I am new to the group and wanted to see if anyone else has my same issues. I have not had any tests done yet unfortunately but trust me I plan on it. I live in a very small town and have to travel a good ways to get to a specialist which is what my Dr. keeps wanting. I suffer...

I've really got to have some help with this pain. I do have IBS-D. But it's not always diarrhea. Sometimes the stools are formed and "normal" looking. But I tend to have a BM pretty much every time I go to the bathroom. And I have a hard time getting everything clean. I wipe and wipe and...

I've had what they label IBS with constipation for almost a decade now. It is still such a mystery to me. Sometimes I will get symptoms and sensations that are so different- like the variety of pain is infinite, you know? an exciting grab bag of options! (we laugh so we don't cry) Yesterday...

Hey everyone, I've been using a lotion called Puro Lotion for a couple of months now. It really helps soothe things back there after a BM. If you have the itching/burning and oozing, give it a shot. For me, I have to use it once right after the BM and then I use it again a couple of hours later...

Hi everyone, I've been suffering from IBS-D for about 3 years now. Last year, I tried a few antidepressants (Zyprexa, Elavil, and Remeron). They all seemed to work well for a short time, then it's like my body adapted to them. I ended up just stopping because once they became ineffective, all...
