  2. Your Story
    Hi all, I thought I'd share my personal success story to provide some hope out there that you CAN heal.

  4. Your Story
    Hi all, My story is so long and convoluted that I think I will just give a very brief gist so I can ask the most important questions. Years ago my then family doctor told me I had a mild case of IBS (didn't really have D or C then). Best Dr. I ever had and he ran off to play golf in Phoenix...

    I'm new to the forums, so forgive me if this gets long. Some backstory, to introduce myself: I'm 23, and I've been dealing with what I think is IBS of some kind since childhood. I've always had trouble pooping, my mom says it was an issue even when I was a baby. I took colace when I was little...
  6. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    The L. rhamnosus strain has numerous benefits including "reduced stress induced corticosterone and anxiety and depression behavior" (see below). I know GNC and vitamin shop carry this strain and I am wondering if anyone on here has tried probiotics with this strain...

  8. Women's Health Issues
    In my teens I was diagnosed with a retroverted or tilted uterus. I suffered with constipation and incomplete evacuation and later was diagnosed with IBS-C. I have seen my IBS -C progress to the point where even 145mg of Linzess sometimes does not work ( I know I could up the dose). Thank God MOM...
  9. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    Hi everyone, I had a minor case of IBS C about 7 years ago when I was 20 and it went into remission about 8 months later, after which I was able to eat everything. My symptoms then, though were just constipation, which were aided by a natural fiber supplement powder at night. I was able to...

    About me; this is my first post, however I have been lurking these forums for a long time, I suffer from IBS C and have been diagnosed with SIBO which I have managed very well by following the FODMAP diet, but never experienced full remission. Has anyone tried the diet 'a starch solution' by DR...
  11. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    When I was normal I pooped once every other day. No discomfort. No with ibs c I poop every day but the stool is hard. And a few hours after a bm I feel clogged again, like there is stool stuck deep in the rectum.. When I take laxatives I get diarrhea, there is no middle. :(
  12. Your Story
    Hello everyone, I'm new to this site but not with IBS, it took 2 years for the doctors to finally give me a diagnosis- I still have slight doubt as to whether they were right. It started when I was 16, I had severe stomach pain, and difficulty going to the toilet. Then I began to vomit nearly...
  13. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    My constipation issues started a couple of years ago when, for some odd reason, I suddenly couldn't *go* to the toilet at all. Up until this point I had been fairly regular, albeit with the odd bout of constipation here or there. When I got totally bunged up, I wasn't able to *go* to the toilet...
  14. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    I have IBS-c and have been 'managing' this to various degrees by following a (mostly) low FODMAP diet and with laxatives (senna - the stimulant type). My Dr prescribed senna to me and told me it was 'safe' as long as I keep the dose low and try and take them sparingly. Over the past couple of...
  15. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    I was wondering if anyone has had any success with alleviating constipation by going gluten free? I have gradually been moving to the low fodmap diet (without much success in alleviating constipation) but the only thing I haven't eliminated is gluten. I am now considering reducing or...
  16. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    So I've been suffering with constipation for quite a while now. A lot of pain/burning sensation on my right side of my bowels and now recently pain/burning sensation through my lower abdomen. I blame all my digestive issues on an eating disorder I'm trying to recover from. I don't know what's...

  18. New Member Introductions
    Hello everyone. I am new to the site and I'm glad I found it. I'm an 18 year old female. I was diagnosed with IBS a little more than 2 years ago. I was in denial for awhile. I felt embarrassed that I have this and embarrassed to even talk about it at first. I have finally come to the realization...
  19. IBS Constipation (IBS-C) and Chronic Constipation
    Hi Everyone, In December I finally had a colonoscopy to figure out if there was a reason I was suffering from severe chronic constipation and gas/bloating/pain etc. Everything was structurally normal and I was diagnosed with IBS-C and lazy bowel syndrome. I was given TONS of sample bottles of...
