Thanks so much for all your replies. This is my 3rd and final pregnancy, and I never ever had problems or any sort with either of the other 2 but this time around it's just one thing after another....
Just wondering what this means. I called my OB today and asked for some test results and she told me that my glucose level on my last blood test was 33 or 37 I didn't hear that last number well cause...
LMAO "garden hose day" to freakin funny! I guess I need to get some gatorade, maybe that's why I fell so weak afterwards. Today I layed on the couch while the kids destroyed the area all around me....
Yeah it's kinda funny to me too. And I HATE when I'm in a place where there is only one bathroom or one stall. I've had instances where I've made people wait outside the door for a long while. And I...
I guess it wouldn't be too bad for everyone to eat what I eat. Both my kids are under 4 so I never fix anything too spicy. But they do like fried chicken strips, french fries, pizza, and those easy...
It's my fear. But sometimes it's like 'OMG I don't know if I can make it to the RR' And I have to know where the RR is everywhere I go. It's the first thing I look for. And it's funny (well not...
I'm just so so sick of this. I hate feeling so sick all the time. If I'm feeling bad it's so hard for me to take care of my kids, sometimes I have to just lay there cause I feel weak after going and...
Good for you! I know how hard it is to control your ibs in school!!! I was a wreck. I think its great that you knew what you needed to do to finish school. And I wish everyone could understand how...
Wow that sounds terrible! I just had an abdominal CT scan and it was NOT like that. I just went in yesterday for it and I had to drink the nasty barium and then had the radioactive dye injected in...
I'm so sorry that you feel terrible. How long has this been going on? Have they tested you for IBD? I think you may need find a new dr. Find one that will help you treat the symptoms, and not dismiss...
Oh I'm so sorry. How long were you hurting afterward? Now I'm super scared to get mine done. -Kim...
Well when I went to the gastro a few weeks ago they did a test for IBD, Crohns, and Celiac dis. and they all came back normal, so I guess this is "just" IBS like he thought. Which puzzles me cause...
LOL Keri, my husband asked the same question he said "I hope they put that tube in your mouth before they stick it up you a#$" Good to know that they use 2 different scopes. And I do think that...
Yes I am a big chicken and have been putting it off for years! But I went and it wasn't too terrible. I got there, with my hubby and 2 kids in tow cause I didn't have a babysitter, and thankfully I...
I have lots of nausea too, for YEARS and I go to my gastro tomorrow so I just might ask if he could give me something for that. But I was wondering if the RXs for nausea cause drowsiness. I have 2...
Thanks everyone. I seem to be tolertating it pretty well. I thought that 5 mgs was a small dose, but I guess I was wrong. I have noticed that it does make me drowsy but then I can't seem to sleep...
Well I woke up last night and my rt hand felt like it was asleep. And I woke up this morning and it felt the same, and it never went away. The surface of my thumb and some of my index finger is numb....
I was just started on 10 mg of Lexapro, and just wondering if anyone has experience with it. I feel a little better in the 4 days that I've been taking it. I take it right before bed since it makes...
I'm usually ok as long as I don't eat too much, which I usually do. I'm ok with most of the foods, except for broccoli and gravy. Theres not anything that is fried at our table, so that's great for...
Congratulations! With my first pregnancy I felt terrific. I also have IBS-D and I was actually constipated for a while. I couldn't believe it! I did have times where I was crampy and had diarrhea,...
I took hyoscamine and it did seem to work for me. I think it depends on how severe your symptoms are, I first started taking it like 5 yrs ago and my IBS-D was not too bad, and now it's way worse so...
Well thanks... it doesn't sound too terrible. I'll have to get some good reading material for the night before I guess. Hopefully I will get to choose what type of laxitive I want, Miralax isn't bad,...
Well I have been putting it off for years and years and I think it's time I get it done. But I am so scared. From what I've been told it's the cleansing of your system that is the worst part. Even...
That's so right! It took me YEARS to be diagnosed! My parents always got answers that were so vague, and even when they pushed it still got no definate answers. And still now that I am an adult and...
I was on Zoloft and Welbutrin for a while, along with Levbid. When I got preg with my first child I went off all meds (and thankfully I had NO ibs with that pregnancy). It worked, except for the...
Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping a good nights sleep will help me. My stomach is not even whats bothering me anymore, I've eaten and felt fine, it's the lack of energy that's keeping me down, and I...
I take an immodium whenever we go out, just really for reassurance. Usually just one, but there was a time when I had to take 2 and it still didn't work. I hate to have to think about that if I eat...
Hi I'm new here, I've suffered for over 15 years with IBS, since I was about 10 years old. I'm a married SAHM of 2 beautiful kids ages, 3 and 1. IBD, Chrons, Ulcerative Colitis, IBS all run in my...
