I post twice a week (usually on Wednesdays & Sundays)!
For me its burning alot..acid coming up anxiety dizziness feels like running to toilet nausea..and madly hungry..and i am suffering with this for about 12 years now. Many test endoscopies all kinds of medications but its some times ok and some times the flare ups are really bad like a heart attack..
Hello everyone. Ive been dealing with ibs since the age of 12, so for 8 years now. The anxiety that came along with it was always the worst. Ive spent all of my energy hiding it from people because of the absolutely horrible shame Ive felt. I somehow was able to successfully hide it, although Ive had flare ups where Id need to use the bathroom every 5 minutes for 10-20 times/ day straight. Luckily I found ways to manage somehow, going to hypnotherapists (always avoiding therapists and psychiatrists) and they were able to periodically get rid of my symptoms completely, giving me some quality of life. But they always came back. It was about 5 years ago where a started seeking put therapy, because I was more or less pressured by my school (Ive had another flare up in grade 10). And to be completely honest, my symptoms have only gotten worse since. Especially the anxiety, that evolved into full blown panic attacks. Eventually around 2 years ago, the constant anxiety of having to go to school and the misery that came along with it made my body break down completely. The panic attacks were daily and lasted for hours. I wasnt able to leave the bathroom until the diarrhoea turned into colorless liquid and it still wouldnt stop. I felt like I was dying. Naturally I had to drop out of school, stopped going to therapy because fuck that it only made everything worse, and Ive been recovering ever since. I later found out that my hormone system wasn’t functioning at all, so Ive been fixing that with the help of a nutritionist and oh boy, my symptoms faded almost completely. I slowly feel like a person again. Its been 8 months since i started taking supplements & cutting out specific foods, and doing really well physically, although I still have a long way to go. Theres just one problem. Im so traumatised by the past that I basically cant leave the house any more at all. Im so scared that if I do Ill get a flare up out of nowhere and there wont be a bathroom nearby. Although my symptoms used to be worse I was still able to go to places without panicking too much. Now as soon as I step foot outside the panic begins. And well panic triggers IBS which triggers more panic which triggerns more IBS and so on. But now that Im physically pretty stable Im trying to tackle that fear very, very slowly. I still dont think Ill ever be able to work a normal job or go to uni without having to sacrifice my sanity and start that vicious cycle all over again. But thats fine, because Ill never allow that to happen again. Id rather die. So Im looking into being self employed. It’s probably the only solution anyway.
Hi Scarlett i got diagnosed with ibs when i was 20 and im now 43,for the last year and a half ive been cutting out gluten which has made a big difference to my symptoms so i think i have coeliac disease!!! i had never heard of it before until i came across it online and i have all the symptoms! if anybody else out there is suffering!!! worth trying im a lorry driver so having ibs is a nightmare.Thanks verymuch Scarlett for all your videos they are a massive help takecare of yourselve Rob.🙂
Hello Rob! I'm 23 and wanted to get into the HGV industry as been into it ever since I was a kid. How is it like with taking more breaks etc? Regards Maciej😁
I'm a 28 year old male. Been kinda diagnosed with IBS, but I'm pretty sure I have SIBO or something 😞 so hard to cope with. I always have sticky stools. 😞
I swear to god, being a high schooler and having IBS is the worst thing ever. The constant sounds of my stomach movements causes grins and giggles from people around me. I keep thinking that they might think of imature matters such as mistaking my noises for farts. Its so stressing and absolutley horryfing to be surrounded by people.
hey I have a best friend who has Ibs,chrons,lactose and gluten intolerant. and she says it's hell and she wants to die cause she's in pain and she gets bullied for it
Thank you for making this! I have many of these symptoms though less severe. But in my case, the anxiety is fueled by actually having had several actual medical emergencies regarding my GI system, so every stomach cramp or slow-moving gas starts my mind up, "OMG here we go again."
it's so crazy hearing you talk about your first experience at 14 because that is exactly what i am going through at 15. thank you for sharing and not making me feel alone.
2022 UPDATE: Thank you for watching! I now use a three step skincare method by The Ordinary which has improved my skin/rosacea immensely - and is much more bank balance friendly too: bit.ly/3P5kYtR ❤
It 8 years to receive an IBS diagnosis. It is rough to know I could've been cared for years earlier if the docs had known to properly diagnose it. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️
Thanks for sharing your story ❤ My heart hurts for that little girl who has terrible belly pain, but felt trapped by a policy of not using the bathroom during class 😔
I spent a large part of my childhood at different doctors with stomach issues and they literally gave me no answer and the "wait it out". I gave up and went on with diet alterations I came up with. Now my 16 year old son has worse stomach issues then I did. He lays in bed with a heating pad most every day. He is in the bathroom many times before even leaving for school...sometimes before he is even supposed to get up. His anxiety, which is very bad. Sets him off horribly. I am trying to do the FODMAP diet with him and it is definitely a challenge. Frustrated!!!
I'm 58 was just told I have IBS-C im in so much pain and anxiety is over the top! Had anxiety for years. And had other attachments but this one is the worst I was in the hospital 3 days and they thought I had a blockage. 😭
IBS is easily curable through ayurveda(ancient methods for treating various disease in India) If you want to cure ibs you have to take following medicine for aprox 4-6 month with strict diet and yoga poses but have no idea these medicine is available in your country but you can get these medicine from India if you have any friend or relative - Belvadi curan (1tabkespoon after meal morning and after dinner) -kutajghanvati(2-2 tablets after meal) -chitrakadi vati( " " " ") -kurtajharista syrup ( 4 tablespoon with equal amount of water two time after meal) it's good to cure loose motion and you can take ishabol instant of this if you have constipation. I was also suffer from IBS and now iam totally fine Thank you
