    I'm new to the forum and not sure if this is the right place to post? I am 20 years old, female, and have struggled most of my childhood with constipation. However myself, nor my parents ever really saw this as IBS. I'd get flare ups during school holidays or extended periods of relatively low...

    Hello all. I haven't read thoroughly so can just hope I'm in the right place... my 16 year old son has been suffering with IBS for about a year, pretty closely tied in with the death of his dad in February 2017 but our story doesn't end with that, because we had to move to the UK from Spain as...

  7. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I'm a 20 year old male who occasionally suffers from IBS-C symptoms. On Friday I moved from the UK to Japan. During my layover in Dubai I went to Burger King, and I think I must've eaten way too quickly or I ate something that didn't agree with me, as the next 10 hours on the flight to Tokyo I...

    Hi everyone, I've been having diarrhoea and abdominal pains for over a year now. All this started as I took the mini pill who had a horrible effect on me - physically and mentally. I've been off it since the beginning on this year and although mentally I feel back to normal - physically it' not...
  9. Your Story
    Hi friends! I'll start by saying that I had IBS-A, so my journey to recovery was quite difficult. For many many years I suffered with random diarrhoea and constipation. I thought it was normal when it first started happening, but it got to the point where it began to show more often. I went to...

    About a month ago I began getting painful stomach cramps that feel a bit like menstrual cramps but not exactly. This time when I had the cramps, I didn't notice any changes to my poo. These cramps usually began in the morning and then occasionally came in the evening, they were very painful. I...

    Hey so I have spent the good majority of the last month researching possible cures or solutions for IBS and I have found some very interesting solutions and even maybe some cures. Personally I don't believe that there is such a thing as IBS I believe that it's just a term doctors use when they...

    Hi guys, I've been diagnosed (self diagnosed, 2 colonoscopies ok) with IBS-D for about 12 years now. I am currently under amitriptyline and that helps me a bit for the cramps and D. However, it constipates me. My GI gave me laxatives such as Poly Karaya (it helps for the transit but it gives me...

  15. Your Story
    Last year I was finally diagnosed with IBS. It took several GPs to work out what was wrong, which I was really let down about. I thought it was a rare condition, and I'm glad that I'm not the only one! I have the type which varies diarrhoea / constipation, and I get bloating, abdominal pains...

    Hi all, I've been ill for 2 years, doctors have diagnosed me with IBS. But what's killing me is that I think I could have "caught" these digestive system problems from a past partner. Here's the story: I gave oral to a partner and afterwards I heard people saying that he stunk up toilets...

  18. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hi All, After months of reading discussions on forums and websites, I have decided to post my own question. I have been having indigestion problems for about a year now.
