    After suffering from IBS-D for 20+ years, I finally have it completely under control. I never have to rush to the bathroom anymore and am very regular in the morning and then I am good for the day. I tried numerous pills and powders, and none of them gave me a complete cure. The key was...

    Hi I'm new to the group and could do with some experienced advice. GP seems to have a 'you need to get on with it 'approach to my symptoms. I have never been told I have IBS even though all other tests for my symptoms have come back clear. I get pain,bloating and constipation after eating...
  3. General Discussion
    I've been hiding my IBS for a really long time (almost 6 years). It's the main problem in my life right now because it effects everything, even my appearance. I'm too scared to go to the beach because half of the time my stomach is as bloated as a balloon. No exaggeration here. I'm too scared to...
  4. Diet
    If I stick to this default diet I don't have any IBS symptoms the next day breakfast: 2 eggs, steamed zucchini, carrot, string beans lunch: salad - cucumber, carrot, gherkins, olives, tomatoes, avocado dinner: a small amount of meat or seafood with vegetables only - any of these: pumpkin...
  5. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Dear all, First of all, I hope you'll all find one day a solution to your issues. I'm young male from Paris (sorry I'm writing very fast and my english is not perfect) who has been dealing for 11 years now with quite severe "IBS-D" symptoms. It has started when I was 21. I was always very...
  6. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I was diagnosed with one of the most extreme IBS cases my GI doc had ever seen. Colonoscopy/upper endoscopy showed I was totally healthy with minor inflammation and a polyp (very unusual for my age - I'm 25, had colonoscopy at 24). I had been having IBS since I was 18, but it was very mild until...
  7. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hi! At the end of august I am having jaw surgery to treat sleep apnea, for four weeks I'll have to be on a liquid/smoothie diet, and I have some good ideas for some fruit and peanut butter smoothies but I've been told to have at least one protein shake I can rely on to help curb hunger and keep...
  8. Your Story
    Hi everybody, This is my first post ever. I've always come to this blog to see what could possibly help me but I've never shared anything. I guess it's my duty to share my story because sometimes I feel like I'm alone in this, specially because my symptoms seem rare and most people around me...
  9. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    This is my story. If anyone could give me ideas, put in input, ANYTHING, it would be greatly appreactiated. I'm running out of hope. Bear with me, I know it's long but I just need to get this out to people who understand. My symptoms started December 7th 2013. They appeared out of the blue...

  11. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Okay, time for a mini rant. I am only posting this to protect the newbies and to make sure people do not end up letting a Gluten allergy hurt them more than it has to: As of late, there have been many threads with people chiming in and saying "going gluten-free cured my IBS" or "Gluten Free...
  12. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I have had urgent diarrhea problems for about 25 years, and I'm 35 now. I can't remember exactly when it started, but I was young. A few times a week, I would have painful and urgent diarrhea. Day or night. Sometimes it wasn't a big deal, other times it was debilitating. I always thought I...

  14. General Discussion
    It has been a long time since I last posted here. I stopped mostly because of the intense hostility to acknowledging that IBS can be caused by a wide variety of medical conditions that can be discovered with the right testing, including celiac disease, food allergies, and gut microbial issues...
  15. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Just so you know when I say cured it means every day is a normal bowel movement. It is not good for a week and then a bad day. It means not having to rush to the bathroom ever. It means a regular bowel movement each morning, and once in a while an additional movement later in the day, but...
  16. Diet
    Hey everyone, 4 days ago I went to an Integrative Medicine Clinic and the doctor there believes that I have Leaky Gut Syndrome and also (possibly) candida overgrowth. She put me on several supplements to kill the candida and restore my gut health. She also put me on an elimination diet. I have...

  19. General Discussion
    Hello everyone! First I want to say that I haven't been to any doctor yet regarding what I "think" is IBS. A little about me: I'm 46. I work in retail which CAN be stressful at times. I recently got promoted to a new position at my job which I keep telling myself is not stressful but for some...
