  1. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    So I have pretty severe pi-IBS-D for at least 12 years, with just minor IBS before that as well as incomplete evacuation my whole life. I have tried countless treatments, I will list what has worked for me not that I would necessarily recommend that you try all of them. I stopped eating any...

  3. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hi all. For a few years now I've had abdominal massage performed by a professional massage therapist. I wasn't able to do it super often because of cost but when I did have it it helped my IBS-D symptoms a lot. It is a strange feeling to get used to at first but focusing on my breathing...

    It's been 3 weeks since I've been having stomach problems. It was similar last year as well. I searched articles and found symptoms were similar to IBS. Now I've been having 2 days of constipation and diarrhoea. During those 2/3 days of constipation, I may get a few thin stools but stomach...
  6. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hello to All, this is my very first post at this forum. My IBS-D trigger, abrupt temperature change, is very predictable for me but I don't see it discussed often. My worst flare-ups occur in Spring or Fall on days when the temperature drastically changes by 10 degrees or more over a short...
  7. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I had ibs-c until about 16 years ago, when my symptoms switched to ibs-d. I suspect that ibs-c was exacerbated by the Tricyclic antidepressants I took for several years. In order to cope with that, I tried an Indian Ayurvdic herbal mixture called Triphala. It worked well to combat the...
  8. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    For 50 years I have lived my life around my colon. Doctors call it spastic colon. I don't agree, my colon is stronger than Arnold schwarzenegger and is extremely coordinated - and with a mind of it's own. To be succinct, if I felt ANY urge I would need to march to the bathroom, counting steps...
  9. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hello, im still struggling on a daily basis with my ibs. Just finished another round of rifaximin but idk how much good it will do. I know that there was one clinical study that mentioned somewhat positive results in symptoms after taking like 6-8 pepto bismol pills per day for 12 weeks or...
  10. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    Hi! This is the first time I am talking to other people suffering from this, kind of therapeutic, most people don't understand how much this sucks. Honestly, I am not sure I suffer from IBD-D and wanted another opinion/direction. (I've done pretty much anything I could think of with the...

    HI, Did anyone have their IBS start while they were still taking/just finished taking antibiotics augmentin forte? It's a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. My IBS-D started like this.
  12. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I've had IBS-D for about a decade. As soon as my symptoms started, I simultaneously started experiencing hair loss or excessive hair shedding. I'm a relatively young female with no other disorders, and I've been tested for everything else. My GI doctor said this must just be a side effect for my...
  13. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I've had IBS-D for more than a decade. I have experienced the same despair as everyone else in this forum. It is a really tough disorder to deal with. I had been taking VSL #3 for about a year and I was doing okay. I had managed to achieve a little stability and not have every morning be awful...

    I am new here and have just been wanting a place where I don't feel so alone when it comes to my stomach issues. I have had irritable bowel issues since I was 13 and I'm now 36. Recently with all the stress of 2020 my IBS issues have gotten worse. I have more random moments of diarrhea with...
  15. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I have taken Imodium/Loperamide fairly successfully for many years. I have to take it daily, 2 tablets in the morning and 2 at night, at the regular dosage of 2 mg a tablet. I simply would not be able to function without it. In a way it is a life saver for me. I find I still have terrifying...

  18. IBS Diarrhea (IBS-D)
    I just recently started on Colesevelam; the generic version of the medication Welchol. This medication is a bile acid sequesterant. It is estimated that as many as 30 - 50% of IBS-D sufferers are actually having a problem with bile acid malabsorption, and this medication treats that. I've...
