"Codone" in any form has always helped me. Its lowers stresses and anxiety levels, as well as the constipation side affect. Its great, except for that whole killing your liver and stuff....
Been there done that, could have played the bongos on my stomach, it was killing me. I still have issues with it, but not nearly as bad. I started eating about half of what I used to, plus these...
To be blunt, Stress will screw you up quick :) Stress has so many unexplained changes to the body its not funny. Not to say thats all thats causing your problems, but its what started mine. Going to...
Yea travel sucks when you have IBS, try having IBS & an issue with public restrooms. I have no idea why, or what causes it, but I hate public restrooms of any kind, no matter how clean or large. I am...
You say you did the antibiotics, do you mean the Prev-Pack or Nex-Pack? 14 days of like 4 pills a day? Thats what I have been through, four times in the past 7 years. I have been diagnosed with IBS...
I have both GERD and IBS, so I'm really screwed up, lol, or so my wife tells me. I used to get the sore throat, gas, burning, pain below ribs, etc.; if there was a symptom I had it. I finally had an...
It also depends on what the foods actually are that are affecting you. You may not be lactose intolerant, you may just be intolerant of the substance containing the lactose. For example, I can eat...
Come to Texas for a bit ;) Last month we lost power for eight hours, it was 103 during the day, at 11pm it was still 99. I can take it, just open up the windows or go outside; my wife, and year old...
I hear you. Luckily for me my parents got divorced when I was 12, and that was before my IBS days. Stress I can deal with, Anxiety I cannot. My wife is mad at me most of the time, we get all set to...
I started on Align back in April, along with Simax, and Protonics. After crying at the end of each month for the $100 pill bill, so after two months of it, and no changes I elected to drop the Align....
I'm not quite sure of what you meant to say, are you asking if anyone with h-pylori has diarrhea, or if they have the burping? When I was first diagnosed with h-pylori a few years ago I suffered from...
I can tell you I was scared too, which didn't help my stomach at all. First I scheduled it for the earliest possible time, cause of the 'prep' work, which I think should be classified as torture, I...
My son will be a year old in a little over a month, man where does the time go, brings a tear to my eye. I have the same worries, how am I supposed to take him to soccer games, baseball games, school...
ok, well its been nearly four weeks since I started this regimen. I have been taking 2 Symax of a morning, tried to take just 1 once, but that didn't go so well. So for now I take 1 Protonic, 2...
Lets see, I have had IBS for roughly 5 years I guess. I started getting sick the summer before my wife and I got married, so that was '03. Its been a roller coaster of a ride. Some months I would be...
Well, its been a while since I have spent much time here, but I am back now. I had a pretty could year from November '06 to November '07, but after that things have gotten much worse. I got to the...
I agree. Veggies are not helpful to this cause. How far Vegetarian are you?...
Just wondering if anyone had an update on this product? I am thinking about trying it out, you can get it over the counter right?...
Wow, been a while since I have been here. There is another explanation for the increase in stomach air...especially with not eating. When you don't eat, there is nothing for the stomach acid to...
I agree, I would quit taking the meds for a bit, and see what happens. Also, trust me, the colonoscopy itself is a breeze, and most people do not remember anything. Its the prep that sucks, just buy...
I come here with a saddened heart. Over the months of March to May, my father-in-law had been having some issues, to which most of his Dr.s were diagnosing as probably IBS related issues. So after...
H-pylori is a stubborn little bug that uses its tenticles to swim from high acidic levels to lower acidic level zones in your stomach and then bores itself into your stomach lining causing ulcers. I...
No help here, but let me find out when you find out :)...
I have to agree, I believe anxiety sets off my symptoms, or at least makes them worse. I am wanting to try some anti-anxiety pills, however, I do not feel totally up for asking the Dr. for the pills....
26/M going on like 3 years now I think IBS-C...
<< Raises his hand. That pretty much describes it, at least pretty close I guess....
Well thanks for all the compliments, I sure wish everyone here could get a break from this terrible thing. It so sad that we must live like this and Dr.s have no clue as to what is causing it. Sure...
Trying not to jinx myself here, and following the ultimate words of my GI "IBS comes and goes, so when it goes, it can always come back". In the past two months I have become lead of my departmet,...
I suffer from the burning stomach and lower abdoman, the solution 90% of the time is to eat something. Usually anything. I have acid refulx, and IBS-C. Carbonated drinks, hot or cold drinks, and...
1 I suffer from C, and it usually just affects me of a morning. Every so often it causes my hemmies to flare, and makes me want to die; but other than that I am pretty stable, unless I get nervous,...
I have tried some charcol pills I bought at walgreens, they didn't help at all....
Be very very careful with vicodin, its a narcotic and can be addicting. I find that Vicondin, or IBU800 (which is just ibprofin 800mg) ease the nerves, which I think intern also eases the nerves that...
Anyone ever been told the cause of their IBS might be an abcessed tooth? I have one, and the dentist said its possible that the stuff from the tooth could have affected my body chemistry and be the...
Dude, i was wondering the same thing. There are times that I can feel a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen, and at the same time it feels like I have my left testicle in a vice. It hurts so bad that...
Alrighty, I purchased some of this stuff last night, didn't have the strawberry, so I bought the Vanilla. Its not the best tasting stuff in the world, but I have had worse, so I will give it a shot....
wow, didn't expect such a big response. I am much better off than most, however I was having a bad day when I posted that. I am in my mid 20s, and have had this for 5 years, its getting old, and only...
Agreed, drink lots of water. I like Nexium, I do much better on it, Prevacid made me super sick....
Just wondering if anyone knew of a case where IBS was 'cured' in an individual? Dear God if we have to all suffer from this forever, I think I might just want to play chicken in five o'clock traffic...
I get nausua due to an imbalance in the acid build up in my stomach, especially of a morning or any other time my stomach is empty....
Right lower abdomen can sometimes mean your apendix is having problems. But the Dr. should have already checked that....
lol, I'm just venting you know. Dr.s cant do crap, they are after all just practicing; its all up to the researches to heal us, the docs are just the middle men. I just know that Amox is a very broad...
I had a sinus infection, and a bad toothache so the Dr. gave me Amoxicillian to kill the infection, and Vicodin for the toothache. Which was great for the pain, but man it stops you up pretty dang...
It could be a hernia (sp?). But I doubt it, but you never know....
I thought I would see what the preceeding events to everyone's IBS symptoms were. Mine started about 3 years after I started my current job. I was in debt, having issues with my fiance, and getting...
lol, I am usually afraid to eat, but if I dont eat I get sick, so I have to snack all dang day, and I gained weight; but am stable now, cant go up or down....
You know what, I never really thought about it, but I had an ulcer and was given the Prev Pack to take, and got really sick from it. So then they substituted the Previcid with Nexium. So it was 4...
Best suggestion....ER. You usually get good drugs, and they might find something, if nothing else they will give you a drip and keep you from dehydrating. Though, without insurance it really sucks,...
Oh I love Mushrooms, but I hate to eat them now :( I swell up, and feel like I am going to pop, and yes bananas do the same things, as well as Ice Cream, but cheese and milk do nothing....
I feel like a balloon. Some days, like today, I wait to float away. I have thought many time about taking a suringe and poking my stomache to see if I can fly, or if I would just pop, lol :) I have...
For about two to three years now I have issues with belching. My wife actually finds it funny. She gets a kick out of some of the belches I let out, others find it disgusting, but she understands...
