  3. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    Hello All, I just wanted to share a couple of things that I have done which have given me some success. First I must say that I have struggled with constipation my entire life.

  4. Your Story
    Hi y'all. I am a 72 year old man whose IBS-C was as severe as the disease gets. It stemmed from an almost fatal giardiasis parasitic infection twelve (12) years ago. I will relate what happened to me and how I eventually discovered a method of recovery. This disease in its most severe form is...
  5. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    Being on low FODMAPS/SCD, I find it hard to get a lot of good fiber. I have been reading up on Cellulose, and that it is good for people with bacteria issues because it doesn't feed the bacteria. I am thinking of buying a cellulose supplement. Has anyone tried it? Does it help with regularity?
  6. General Discussion
    Hi, almost 2 months ago I was admitted into the ER because I suddenly had some horrific stomach pains and a horrible painful diarrhea episode. Now, I've been known to have stomach aches every now and then, but usually I can attribute that to some bad eating habits or they're not terrible enough...
  7. General Discussion
    At the beginning of last year I started getting more IBS pain and constipation than usual, which was unexpected because my IBS had been stable for years. My doctor recommended soluble fiber which can be helpful with regularity and pain, so I started taking two tablespoons of chia seeds a day...

    Any Australian readers? I'm new to this forum, so if I make any blunders....entirely unintentional. Because I live in Australia, we don't have anywhere near the range of Vitamins/Supplements/Medications that are often available in the US and in Europe. With my inquiries below, I'm asking for...

  10. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    For decades I had what seems like a sluggish bowel so fiber in the diet helped a great deal. IBS first showed up several months ago after two rounds of antibiotic (for tooth pain/abscess after unsuccessful root canal). I thought the FODMAP diet might help and plan to follow it in March along...
  11. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hi everyone, I have had symptoms of IBS for quite a while but only recently have begun getting diarrhea after a bowel movement. The diarrhea, of course, is preceded by unbearable pain and urgency in the lower abdomen. But the diarrhea happens after a normal morning bowel movement. Within 20-30...

  13. Diet
    Fodmap diet should be done with a dietician/nutritionist, but most insurances don't cover them. I would start with this free download of ANOTHER diet "Eating for IBS" (even though book more thoroughly explains the "whys"), eliminating foods already known to be problematic, then introduce one at...

Diverticulosis is the only firm diagnosis I have - following my recent post-55 sigmoidoscopy.at the end of last year. I have had permanent near-diarreah for maybe 8...
