I had colonoscopy, blood tests, gluten tests, all negative. Been told got IBS. Years ago had H.Pyler. The IBS is getting worse and getting me down. I get severe pain ànd then diarhea and and sick at same time. Its getting more frequent now. Am in menopause and on lots of meds for various long term health issues and also have back pain etc. Am fed up. Its ruining what life I may have left. Also with a weak bladder on top. I hate my life now. I cant enjoy anything anymore. As know if eat something I like I will certainly pay for it 10 fold later
Hahe you tried taking probiotics? I have IBS as well and as soon as I started align probiotics for IBS, it helped me a lot. I still have IBS but it is less severe then before
I thought I had colon cancer for a long time…I had a colonoscopy and biopsy which showed negative …when I go to the toilet I get narrow stools ..used to have blood in there to sometimes ..did you also experience this
Suffering since 2 months.. recovering day by day... Last 3 days completely normal... What I followed is.. 1. Elimination gluten and Sugar 2. Gentle Yoga 3. Pranayam 4. 35 mins walk... Day by day I feel I am improving a little bit.. Dear IBS community, have you ever observed if we are in hurry or if we are supposed to complete any target in time may it be simple cooking or any simple task in time... Due to even simple worry our stomach contracts. And doesn't feel like relax stomach... We have to observe this very carefully,....I think this is the reason.. it starts feeling abnormal,.. For that meditation, stressfree no time bound commitment, slow and peaceful working style.. rhythmic pattern of breathing is very necessary to keep brain gut in sync.. I had this IBS 3 YEARS BACK resolved in 2 months then again 1 year back... Again resolved in 1 month and now since last 2 months... Resolving slowly .. since last 3 days....❤
I've been having symptoms of IBS. On September 27 I had a real bad anxiety attack because of stress. Since then I noticed my poop change , light cramps by the right abdominal ,and more gassy than usual. Getting checked next week.
AMITRIPTYLINE!! Please try this. This drug saved my life. I had serious ibs for ages. Stomach was constantly whirling and I was sick all the time. Diet did not matter. After I found this, my life changed over night. I could eat what I want and love a normal life. I always told myself I would share this information with everyone I could if I ever found a solution. It doesn’t work for all types of IBS, but has done wanders for loads of people. It’s mostly used on other things but more and more are having success with it Definitely worth a try. Please pin this comment.
I love the way they always explain symptoms as if "eh its some discomfort" Meanwhile i just came off a 12 day flare up that felt like i was dying 😂 I have had alot of tests come up empty and no explainations.
Is it possible for probiotics to make IBS worse? I've tried low FODMAP with some success, but still can't determine exactly what causes diarrhea, since foods I've eaten may be fine one week and maybe bad the next. Is any research being done for IBS? It can really be debilitating yet health providers don't seem able to help. Thanks.
Overall, studies generally show an improvement in symptoms with probiotics. However some individuals DO find worsening of symptoms with probiotics per this article from the Library of Medicine: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8462084/. You are right… IBS is very tricky to treat and more research is definitely needed. There are some clinical trials underway per this article: www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/irritable-bowel-syndrome/clinical-trials.
*** After I had my Gallbladder removed I started with constipation..Only way for me to poop was to drink coffee..Then the pain started.. I had this constant pain and blotting in my stomach that wouldn't get better till I pooped.. I told my doctor and she thought I had a hernia..I went and had a ultrasound done but there was nothing.. Like 2 weeks later I went to the ER and I had a CT SCAN done and there was nothing.. I still have my pain to this day.. I think I have IBS ..I have all the symptoms your talking about... Constipation, pain, bloating.. I going to bring it up to my doctor at my next visit..Thanks..
To answer your question. Yes I can make it worse. It happen to me.. my advice is start with low dose see how you do. Then go up in higher dose. See how you do.. just me it can make it worse..
Great job , Also there is 4 Rome criteria for ibs : Reccurent abdominal pain or discomfort at least 1time per week in last 3 month with 2 of either: relieved by defecation,change in bowel frequency and change in stool appearance❤
Nurses know 💩 about ibs. Talk to a specialist. I had ibsd most my life. It controls my life. I have no social life, hard to keep a job, and the depression it causes is unreal.. my best advice is low lowfod map diet, anxiety meds, eat clean as you can. Eat foods low in fat and cut out junk sugars..
Sorry about the IBS… but congratulations on starting nursing school! We have hundreds of videos and lots of resources to help you every step of the way. 👍
Thankyou Level Up RN and Ms Cathy...the new addition of medication details in picture format is really helpful . Its really helpful. Thankyou for thinking of such small yet important details is an added bonus.
I have ibs and for the past 3 years I have noticed my hands tremble out of nowhere then my feel disoriented and my heart races all at the same time. Is this related to IBS?
I take half a .25 mg Xanax plus loperamide 2 tabs plus 2 tabs pepto bismol when I leave the house once or twice a week and it works for several hours. I was taking more loperamide but it cause irregular heart rate the next day so I had to back off. 4 is max you can take in a day. Bentyl or probiotics did not help.
hey@leveluprn the question i need help with is what can u get for sickness and pain in my stomach and all can u help with getting something for helping with the bowels and helping going to the toliet with bowel movesment please thank you .....
My mom has severe abdominal pains,very severe This is the third time in 2 years, The pain worsens when she wants to pass out gas,urine and even stool She has been more gassy than usual, lost weight and has been very weak Done ecographies and all,doctors can't seem to find out why she's in such pain Can this be IBD?? Please someone answer me
I don't know if this is ibd but i probably have exact symptoms and no idea what will work for it yet except few theories around it ,that are vagus nerve issue ,excessive bacteria in gut / sibo and not right bacteria in gut to break down certain foods .
My son has debilitating IBS and just a youngster. The Bentyl made him dizzy and nauseous so couldn't take it. There is a over-the-counter product called IBguard that is Peppermint oil released in the gut. It's a more natural antispasmodic and works ok. I found something in the UK called Buscopan IBS relief that I just ordered off of Amazon Uk. Waiting for shipping to give that a try. 🤞🙏
Is nausea a symptom of IBS as well ?I have sometime nausea in the morning. I have belly pain , diarrhea and a bloated stomach. I did a Gastroscopy and dr said that i my stomach was fine. But still i have these symptoms that I wrote and i am not getting what causes those.
I’ve had the same problems and my doctor said that my symptoms were most likely caused by anxiety. I have really bad anxiety and it goes straight to my stomach one bad night of anxiety can leave my stomach messed for days. I go on spouts of stomach pain but it just eventually goes away what’s really helped me was probiotics tho it seemed to really calm down my stomach even with the anxiety but I think that has something to do with my brain lol. It’s probably me thinking this is helping my stomach there for I feel less anxious about having nausea or diarrhea which would cause that pain in the first place.
I would say tho especially with nausea in the morning make sure that your not eating anything prior to laying down or going to bed as that can pain in the morning as well. And also the making a change to your diet and see what’s the causes of your stomach pain are like suggested in the video above. I have really bad pain when I eat things with high acidity such as Tomato’s they seem to take my stomach for a whirl once I figured out what the triggers are I started taking anti-acidic medicine such as tums after eating those things to balance things out in my stomach. I hope your pain goes away from one sour stomach human being to another 😁
@@Drizzoj how long are you in this situation? I think too that it comes from stress and anxiety. When I have to much stress than I feel worse. I tried to cut products that contains gluten and I fell a bit better, but still sometime I have nausea in the morning and lower abdominal pain is same every morning i could say. So you say that I don't have to eat before I sleep?
@@Drizzoj sometime when I have nausea I feel really bad. Is like I am blocked and I even can't walk. I mean I feel like I am really tired. Maybe because of the high anxiety on those moments.
@@TechSignn yea when it comes to sleeping your stomach has a hard time digesting food do to just simple gravity it likes to pull your food down rather than down through your body which can cause your gut to work overtime and cause stomach pain in the mornings. My situation is on and off my problem is I take a bunch of supplements for working out such as creatine and it causes really bad stomach aches and nausea. So I have to cut that out it’s really just trail and error
I had some chicken 2 months ago and my stomache felt weird ,Then days later i ate some yougurt something i never eat and my issue got even worse ,goin on over 4 weeks now of intestinal issues slight bloating ,no diareah tho.I dont think yogurt agrees with me at all .....never had stomache/ intestional issues befor ....
Omg I got goosebumps reading this bc this is exactly what happened to me. About a month ago I was perfectly fine and then I went to this restaurant and had a chicken sandwhich and some wings. About 3 days later my stomach felt weird and it just keep getting worse week by week
Hey everyone, I have been living with IBS for 5 years and been to see many doctors and have a wide range of tests and diets. Right now it is under control for the most part largely due to a restrictive diet. However, the whole experience has lead me to look into food alternatives for people suffering with gut issues. I would love to know how it effects the wider community with regard to day to day life, my question is What are the biggest challenges/ pain points of individuals living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or similar gut issues? Personally for myself it is abdominal discomfort, eating out, drinking alcohol, dairy products, needing a toilet immediately with little notice, embarresment, working at my job while experiencing symptoms.
When I went to a GI 4 years ago for having bowel attacks, both solid and diarrhea. The GI doctor consulted with me for 5 mins and said that I have IBS he didn't even look me over or run any tests, and then he pushed some medication on me. Plus, he didn't even look into the fact that I have severe endometriosis as well as auto immune diseases that could possibly be the cause for my GI issues. I feel that doctors need to learn more about these type of issues as they always just throw medication at the issue instead of getting to the root cause or looking at the whole body.
You're just a nurse but you are more informed than some stupds drs I've been to they Said it's nothing wrong with Me its just stress and anxiety but my symptoms are rough constipation mostly and gas bloated and more .
Can it cause loose stools? I have this problem. Also I feel pressure on my anus area. I have great health insurance but o swear these doctors just don’t do their jobs well. P.S. I think I have mucus in my bowel movement, but never have any pain.
@@LevelUpRN we will see. In my opinion they just want to collect their copay and from my insurance company rather than provide a thorough service. But it might help if I see a different gastroenterologist.
