Managing your IBS-D 

I often feel alone in this fight. I’m always nauseated, I have IBS D, and was clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression. It is terrifying to do anything. I’m praying for all of you guys that have commented. Please be praying for me!

I have it- and it’s destroying my life. I’m only 14! It’s making me depressed. I’d literally do anything to make it go away.

My life. I actually cried for the first time yesterday. And I've been dealing with this since I was 17. I'm 31 now.

Me thinks this is an elaborate commercial for "XIFAXAN"!!

Rest in peace to all my lost underwear. A sneeze or cough is a serious thing. 😢 Yeah I have IBS-D.

Who else gets nausea every time. And it’s always in the morning. Oh wait no one cause the chat is all robots

nicotine and caffeine were the cause of my 20+ year IBS-D. The day after my last nicotine patch, the diarrhea stopped. 3 days after being regular, the anxiety stopped too. So if you smoke/dip or are a heavy coffee drinker - try stopping for a day or two.

I have Ibs for 7 years now and I try to explain to others but it hurts me emotionally that no one understands my situation I started to get depressed and stop hanging out with friends barely sleep scared to travel. I can’t even go to my nearest mall I have hope that some day this curse will go away

I've had this my entire life. I'm only self diagnosed but it's awful. I went to doctors upon doctors and they never diagnosed me with anything. It's so awful that the doctors in my country don't take IBS as a real condition ( at least to my knowledge). I do have a social life but it's awful feeling sick so often. I feel a bit better now and I try to only eat what my head tells me is good. Sometimes it gets me into awkward situations because somebody cookse something and I unfortunately have to decline because I know I'd get sick afterwards. I kind of got the gist of what makes me sick but there are still things that surprise me. And the worst part is when IBS mixes with my period. I feel like I could shit myself any time then and I just feel like staying home. Gosh. Fuck IBS. I know it's not the worst thing in the world but it's still shit. Quite literally.

We should start a group, where we can share our thoughts and we can talk about what works for an individual that other people can also try. What you say guys??

Story of my life , I am jobless engineer because of that , sitting in my home next to the wc for the last 6 years.

I have ibs and emetephobia annddddd anxiety and I get panick attacks a lot of the time when my ibs has been set off

I thought I had IBS-D for almost a year and it Finally came down to a such a simple solution, Imodium D and the generic brand. The first time I took it, it didn't work, but my son encouraged me to try again and it was amazing! I take one pill every other day now and it works great!!! Hope this helps someone out there ❤

Thank you for sharing these stories, and promoting the message that relief is possible.

I have it and it's killing me day by day. It's so painful.

Constantly thinking about my stomach, food and the bathroom. 100% me.

23 and just started feeling it everyday for a week. aint life great.

This is me 😔

I’m 20 years old with ibs here. And to all of you still in highschool I know it was hard I was even planning on dropping out of highschool or just being homeschooled if it wasnt for it was already my last year after dealing with Ibs already 3 years in. Ask your counselors about a online option or something you never know. Also what I do is carry a ziplock bag of wet wipes it’s ghetto but it works good in your pocket or purse. Honestly for me I love taking online school in college for that very reason. And my social life was basically dead because I didn’t like to go out with ibs but I turned it into something good with being locked up. I played and played guitar so much and now I’m a musician playing gigs. It’s hard to perform with ibs sometimes but we can always take breaks. Also fun facts some famous people with ibs were Kurt cobain, Hitler, Tyra banks, and jfk. I don’t know that stuff just gives me hope. If it wasn’t for ibs I would’ve probably been in the millitsry by now. And I hate flying on airplanes or getting haircuts

So I have ibs I can get cured if I’m rich... cool

Just one long drug commercial

I’m 17, this is destroying the rest of my highschool life, I’m scared for what I will do about it in the future. I just need some help. My friends think I’m avoiding them on purpose and I can’t leave without taking the most tender care with whatever entered my body.

I started having pains at the age of 11, I didnt think about it but the pain and the rushing to the bathroom got so bad that I was sent to have scans, it was soon found out that my gallbladder only worked 11% of the time when I would eat, it was the beginning of Febuary 2018 when I got my surgery, it was supposed to be in March but I was having so much pain two days after the appointment of how i was going to get my surgery next month I ended up having it that same week I'm 12 almost 13 soon and the pain is still there but it feels so much better to be able to do more stuff now.

Wasted 20 minutes of my life for a xifaxan commercial

Dude this is my life for like 5 years now . Now I’m almost 40 I can’t even deal if I had this in my teens . I’m so up and down with feeing good and feeling like horrible

my ibs went away once I cured my anxiety and stopped drinking coffee

Nice advert for Xifaxan

Embarrassed doesn't even come close to explain the feeling you have when having IBS-D I was mortify the first time I was at work and pooped on myself while I was a manager in a retail chain....you learn to take an extra change of clothes.. having to stay in the bathroom with poop all over you because of course it's diarrhea... Meanwhile while you wait for your husband come to your job to give you a change of clothes is humiliation mortify to the 10th power and being called for customer assistance while you got poop all over you and can't do anything...omgg worst nightmare...or how about pooping in yourself and having to explain to your boss you have to leave work because you pooped on yourself... embarrassed??? I was mortify!!!!😩😩😩😩😩

I have been suffering from for past 2 months.😢 1) mushy stools(unformed) that have undigested food with strange odor 2) It happens 2-3 times a day 3) White mucus most of the time 4) Farting a lot But not any other symptoms like any types of pain or blood in the stool or any other symptoms at all not even a little. Your help is deeply appreciated 🙏❤

this is literally just an ad for xifaxan

Is it possible to have been dealing with this since I was a kid? I always remember having trouble either way.

this is so dramatic after a 10 minutes the commercial for XIFAXAN hits in. In my pov antibiotics is the root cause of this IBS

Ibs d hits mentally and physically..

I have had IBS d most of my life earliest memory is from when I was 5. I am 54 now when I get stressed still have flare ups. Reading the comments I feel for the young people that have it . I always knew where the bathrooms were in school . It was beyond embarrassing . I have learned overtime to control it and it’s better . I manage it through destressing and avoid certain foods. I find exercise does help .

i have this and its so intrusive. its worsened by subconscious stress so i feel sick and often need to run out of exams which is really affecting my grades. its not even conscious stress unfortunately. its so difficult to manage because i won't even know im feeling stressed until im running to the bathroom, thus relaxation techniques are generally useless. I don't lead a particularly stressful life and my mental health is good so i really don't understand why

I never drink tea or coffee and I suffer from ibs D. Yesterday I drank 2 cups of coffee with no sugar and no milk. Today I had to poop like 10 times. People plz stay away from coffee.

I've had this since I was 25, and I am now 48. It's the flare-ups that make you feel like you're going to die. They started after being pinned in a military vehicle accident. I just had another flare-up. Pain, nausea, dizziness, causes me to vomit my pain medication up.

Thank you for this for Information. I'm going to pass this on to my Friends Dr. To see if he will prescribe.

I have this and its horrible. Don't like going anywhere without a bathroom.the pain has gotten so bad I've threw up.

I’m 24yearold dealing with this for mor then 10years 🥺.... in my country non of the doctor have a clue or ever experienced with the IBS-D ... i took numerous of medicines prescript by different doctors! The result ? It’s getting worse 😭.... my life us ruined... job relationship goals hobby .... I can’t see my future now it’s dark ....

In Russia you can go to any pharmacy and buy rifaximin for 10 dollars .

What I'm not hearing is how expensive this medication is. My insurance won't cover it and it's over $1000. I'm bummed, I thought by the end of this video I'd get a solution I could get my hands on.

I have it bad. It’s the worst pain I’ve ever had, and I have given birth to two children. The labor pains are smooth sailing compared to this condition. Help please!

I read the painful heartbreaking stories here and want to offer hope. Why don't I see anyone mentioning the risks and prevalence GMO foods in modern American diets? GMO's are outlawed in many countries including in Europe. Now in America the majority of our foods are labeled as containing Bioengineered ingredients ... multiple preservatives and "natural flavors" which upon research turns out to be derived from aborted fetal cells and different kinds of insects for flavor, sweetness and color. Crickets are now being raised in large factories in Canada and the US and added to basic food ingredients like corn meal, flour etc purchased by snack and other processed food manufacturers so they don't have to be listed by that company on their labels because weren't added by that company. There is very little commercial food sold in American supermarkets that is truly natural food in 2022. No wonder our population is contracting so many digestive disorders. I know for myself there is a medical condition associated with IBS-D but please start reading the labels on the foods you buy and become aware of what you are actually eating. At the very least, what food you do eat should be fresh, clean and as natural and organic if possible. Your drinking water should not be city tap water in which many contaminants are found. If there's anyway you can filter it... you really should. Water is life and #1 in importance. My prayers for everyone who is suffering so much with pain and difficulty. If you pray, try to remember to always pray over you food and drink for it to be blessed and made wholesome and healing to your body and with thanksgiving to receive it, when so many in these times go without. My prayers continue for all of you to overcome these issues with our health and return to a strong vibrant life.

This is me and I’m 70. Had this for years.

my IBS started at 15 years old and has been getting progressively worse, I am now 17, I too, only experience symptoms in the morning. However, I take a buscopan, which is an IBS medication, as soon as I wake up, and I can pretty much go the morning with out the cramps and excessive diarrhoea. I recommend it so much, no one should have to go through this with out the help of drugs.

I have IBS-M. I also have Endometriosis (extra tissue grows on the outside of the uterus) and it's absolute HELL.

XIFAXAN can cause C-Diff oh heck no thank you. That infection can cause some serious problems. My daughter picked up that infection in the hospital and it ended up spreading through out her body causing severe damage. She ended up dying 😪Why would they recommend a medication that can cause this type of infection ?????

I forgot to mention it... no drugs necessary with Carnivore diet.

I’m having a really bad episode rn 😂 and that’s my life really

Thank you so much for the very informative video, I have been suffering for almost 10 years. Let me talk with my dummy doctor.

Yeah, I guess this is a xifaxin ad. It didn’t work for me. Nothing has.

Xifaxan only helps for up to 6 months IF that. It’s not a cure like this makes it seem.

Xifaxan (rifaxamin) kinda helped the 1st time, but never again after. I also did a come Xifaxan and flagyl combo. 0 relief. I've been testing positive via PCR for stec and shiga toxin for months. If you've tried everything like colonoscopy and endoscopy. Try to get test for infectious diseases. Unfortunately for me, STEC usually isn't treatable via antibiotics.

Took me about 10 years to get diagnosed as my doctors said they tested me originally for it but found they hadn't and I ended up paying to see a specialist who said I have severe IBS. There is so much I can't eat or do and I always make sure I don't go out in the evenings as always worried it will trigger symptoms. I always try to avoid eating when on days out as worried that it will cause problems. I have missed so much work in the past year because of it and surprised I still have a job. I'm taking half a day off work tomorrow to skip the work Christmas party as it made me ill last time I went and I am not going through it again when I don't have to. I got told to take buscopan every day and to avoid wheat, dairy and so many other foods and the past month it seems to have got a little bit better but then flares up again suddenly.

Started at 12. I never leave my home without a bottle of immodium. My doc suggested daily fiber that does help a little

Xifaxan hasn't gone generic yet, to my knowledge. At $1,200-$1,400 for 2 weeks' course, insurance won't cover any of the cost... criminal. I wanted to approach the Salix sales rep in my G.I. doctor's parking lot, she happened to make a visit when I was there. Shame on you. Even my doc expressed frustration and disgust that he couldn't prescribe to many of his patients due to $$$.

Never give up stay strong guys

Follow the diet rules and your life will be better, it started with me when I was a child

Hey sorry to hear about you but i would recommend you getting checked for navel displacement as I myself suffered from it.After multiple medical checkups doctors labelled my condition as IBS but I had no relief.Someone suggested me to check for navel displacement and i found my cure

I have it, started when i was 17 and now I m 30 and it still going on ; it literally destroyed my life. I am in a stage where i am not even want to live this life.

It’s an awful disorder because I get horrible flare ups every 1 to 4 months where it’s late at night when I’m trying to get to sleep and I can’t because it’s so painful

should i bee worried? ive been having rlly bad stomachaches for the last year and they’ve worsened slowly since then, i also have several bowl movements when i get these pains and always have diarrhea at least once. plus my family does have colon cancer history. when i say that the stomach pain started last year, i mean that was the first time when they were so bad i couldn’t eat a couple times and right after eating i’d get a pain so bad i’d have to lay down, i couldn’t stand. 😬 after writing this i feel like it might be obvious but i’m just hoping someone will tell me i don’t have anything to worry about

I have IBS D and it really destroyed me I can't work I can't go out with friends or I can just eat a limited foods and hopeless Iam only 24 and I am very depressed I tired of doctor's and medication 😢

Would you completely change your diet for a good chance of fixing your body? Lots of people have success with the zero carb (Carnivore) diet. Good luck!🍀👍

Xifaxan isn’t covered by most insurances. I have regence through my government job and it was over $400. I haven’t been able to try it due to this.

I started taking loperamide every single day, i didnt have a choice, still dont.

I'm like this all the time it's awful its ruined my life having ibs diarrhea disease

I have it and I absolutely hate it and broke out laughter at the beginning of the video , because I can't totally relate 🤬

Rather than doing drug advertising, perhaps the video can be more educational by explaining the pathways the drug relieves/eliminates IBS-D.

This medication changed my life. I'm able to have a normal life again.
