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...

Hello all. I'm a 20 year old college student and I've been suffering with IBS-C for the past 7 years. I created this account in hopes for some answers. I'm currently feeling very lost and seem to be hitting a wall with what to do. I'll provide a little background and my current predicament...

(Basic details: Male, late 20's, no chronic conditions, no family history of bowel diseases. Overweight (approx. 190 lbs., 5'7).) So, here's my story: - In March, I started having difficulty sleeping for several weeks, which went away over the summer. However, even when I had unlimited time, I...

Hello all, I have a symptom which is almost difficult to describe but I wonder if any of you can help me. Since taking antibiotics about 2 years ago, I've had terrible indigestion at night time. I won't go into too much detail but what is troubling me currently - and keeping me awake every...

no one seems to be able to figure out what's wrong Have been off work since June 1. Need to feel better by Sept 14 because that's when I go back They think I had a stomach virus or something and then post infectious ibs. Idk I was pretty normal. Maybe had diarrhea a few times too many than...

Male, late 30s. Seemingly any time I recline, either sitting down, napping, or sleeping at night, uncomfortable pressure begins building in the lower abdominal area. At night, it manifests itself with very frequent awakenings and urination. The latter I believe to be a secondary effect at this...

Thought I would join a forum after not getting much support or understanding from my GP (UK)... 6 Years ago I caught Amoebic Dysentery and malaria whilst working in Kenya, and I strongly believe that this was the trigger for my IBS. I've not actually been confirmed with IBS, even though I have...

Wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms. I keep second guessing myself if I really have IBS-C or something very serious. Everyday for the last 5-6 weeks, I've had constant constipation, severe abdominal pain (lingers for hours), pain after eating (literally anything), nausea, extreme...

Hi All! I'm desperate for some help. I'm a 27 y/o female and diagnosed with IBS-C almost 2 months ago. I am a bit skeptical that I have IBS (because it's the first thing doctors point to)... but I have had constipation problems and stomach pain for the last 5+ years...so I know something is...

I have had really bad problems for eleven years now. Everything was fine up until that time, and then rather suddenly, I developed chronic constipation. I did not understand what was happening at all to begin with, and hoped it would go away, but it never did. I have been to countless doctors...

Hi I have IBS-A which was diagnosed about 3 months ago. The symptoms which personally cause me the most stress and anxiety are pain and bloating. I already take Pregablin for generalised anxiety disorder and joint pain, but I have had no side-effects from the doses of that so far (I'm on a...

Hi! I was dx with IBS 10 yrs ago, was put on a magnificent drug but it was recalled (Zelnorm). I moved a couple times to go to undergrad then grad and never found another doc. So I have gone untreated for several years. Well, over the past 6 months friends have noticed my skin looks...
