What is IBS? (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) 

I don’t think anyone will fully understand how much it effects ur life until they’ve had it. I wake up dreading the day already sometimes. It’s always at school, probably bc I have the fear of my stomach acting up at school so that all I can think of, causing me more anxiety. I really don’t remember a time where I didn’t have this fear or a day my stomach didn’t act out. However, throughout the day it gets better. It’s even harder for me at school bc I have a fear of getting up to go to the bathroom during class so I just anxiously sit in my chair til times out and it’s funny bc as soon as class is over I no longer really have to go. Somethings that has helped me is tums, mostly bc Carrying it gives me comfort, essential oils, especially the ones where u can roll it on ur skin, I put a little on my nose so I can smell it during school which calms me, and breathing exercises. I Honeslty believe for me, if I can get my anxiety under somewhat control I will feel much better! We got this guys!❤️

75% of the time I eat meals I end up getting stomach cramps, diarrhea about 4 times a day and gas and it hurts like hell.

My IBS really effects my life and my work. I hate how random it is

Literally feels like I have a constant stomachache every time I eat. Can’t eat at least 4-5 hours before sleeping. Feels gassy all the time.

This shit is ruling my life atm 🙄

I started taking probiotics more regularly and this has helped greatly. Gut health is important. Less red meat and processed foods will help too

I truly believe stress and anxiety is the cause of ibs

Was diagnosed at 12. I’m now 20 and this condition ruined my teenage hood and now it’s ruining my adult hood.

now i am 19 and i lived my life with ibs not knowing, thank god now i understand why i am like this

I get panic attacks too.... then have to use the restroom...I feel like I'm going to pass out and my heart beats quickly

We all under 25 !! this is crazy 💔

Yea its really heart breaking that most of us are so young

I have IBS and anxiety... Man I had a really good progress but after an 1,5 year of quarantine just destroyed everything I built... We will make through this guys 🙏 sending everyone my positive energy 🌼

Me actually having a good time Also me: *eats a tiny bite of ice cream* IBS: *HEY THERE*

it is so relieving and refreshing finally finding out what these pains/pressure I've been having for years on end. For me, this has been so random and so unpredictable in most aspects but there are a few constants. I have been to multiple doctors, been blood tested multiple times (for chrons disease), changed my diet more times than I can remember, massaging the area deeply (only made it so much worse and it spread) tried multiple painkillers, and nothing NOTHING has ever worked. The symptoms I've been having are excessive gas, bloating, pain in my lower left abdomen that feels like pressure building to the point of pain, and constipation. This has always been something that gradually crept up on me, something I've been dealing with for years and never quite seemed to figure out the source of. But one thing I knew for certain was that my anxiety was most likely at the center of it. Ever since middle school, (and flare-ups like these would mostly ever only happen at school), I would 1st experience the excess gas then pressure building in my lower left abdomen then the pain and uncomfortableness that would build. These situations can be deeply unsettling and embarrassing especially for young developing girls who want to fit in and who want to feel attractive. This syndrome is so much more than just pain especially when it begins to affect your day-to-day life, especially your mental health. It's only in recent years that I've really started to take action to put an end to it. For as long as I can recall back, I've always dealt with social anxiety in school no matter what I did. Especially when put in social situations/situations where I'd have to interact with others. I always did know in the back of my mind that these pains had some type of direct link to my stress/anxiety levels, but I'd always write it off as something entirely separate because it'd never occurred to me that they could be connected. Now, I've tried almost every solution I could think of, and I can only hope that trying anxiety medication might help a bit since it's such a trigger. However, I do try to stray away from medications since I wouldn't want to be so dependent on them for however long in the future. Whoever else is going through this, please know you are not alone and that I do see you. I had yet to meet anyone with a remotely even similar problem before this video, and I can't even express how happy it's made me to finally figure out why this has been happening to me for so many years after going through doctor after doctor to find out. You are seen, and you can and will work through this

I’m hosting a family friend with IBS who is from the UK. Watching this is helpful for meal preparation and overall stay

I know for a fact that the only thing that flares up my symptoms is STRESS.. My IBS is constipation dominant,, and the only time I get bad is during my exams.. Abd once I'm done with exams everything goes back to normal within 24 hours or so.. All the constipation the bloating the abdominal cramps the nausea.. All gone.. And even though I hate myself during these episodes.. I find it fascinating how our mental health affects our bodies so much.. Thank you for the amazing video..

I recently got diagnosed with IBS It sucksss!!!! I'm only 17😭😭😭 Sending prayers to all my ibs friends out there!😭💗

Thank you for this video to break it down so easily where this is so confusing. I was just recently diagnosed. It makes a lot of sense of what I am going through.

I have been having IBS for more than a year now, I really think I have figured it out. In my case, stress and anxiety is the main case, whenever I have an exam or test at school, or I'm getting late somewhere, my stomach starts hurting, it slowly calms down on its own. Sometimes coffee and rarely lactose intake cam trigger it, but I'm pretty sure stress is the main reason. I have had early life stressful event which I assume have led me to this. But now I know what it is and that makes it easier for me. Good luck everyone.

I have IBS , Gluten Sensitive , lactose intolerant and Mental illness 😰 Bipolar ext..... I got the whole package🤦🏼‍♀️ hmmm..... and treatment in here for these problems is not common..... it’s hard ....

IBS is fuckin hell and it amazes me how people quickly disregard my pain. I would never wish IBS on my enemies. It feels as if someone's twisting your intestine like wet cloth is twisted

I was never diagnosed with ibs and I don’t like self diagnosing myself but after having to live 9 years with these symptoms, I’m pretty dam sure it’s what I think it is. I remember telling my mom that I was scared to go to school. I was 12 at the time. I’d look out the window as we made our way there and I’d feel like my world was crashing in. A lot of the times my mom would let me walk to school so I would just cry on the way there. The intense anxiety before going anywhere is frightening to the point that I think of ways to escape if I were to have a flare up. It’s either my anxiety that causes the flare ups or the need to use the restroom or pass gas that triggers my anxiety. I don’t think I’ve yet seen a person on the internet with ibs talk about how much f@rts affect them (I really hate that word; trauma I guess lol). I’d say I’m a mix between ibs-d and ibs-c but there should be an ibs-f cause my lord ! Even with a simple thought that makes me nervous makes me gassy 🙄 I can’t date or hang out with friends; dating especially hurts me the most bc I want a boyfriend so bad but I’m just too ashamed to open up about it with anyone. Of course, being overly gassy isn’t the only symptom. I don’t usually get that pain that everybody is talking about but when I do, I feel like I’m being cut open from the inside. I do get bloated tho all. the. freakin. time. Not a single day that I’m not bloated. It came to a certain point that I thought I was just extra fat in my abdomen. Also, idk about y’all but when I’m getting that pain in my stomach I can literally feel the waste in stomach move. Another thing that happens to me is that there are times after going numero dos a lot, it makes my colon feel uncomfortable, as well as my stomach. Anybody else? My life choices are dictated by this stupid overly sensitive stomach of mine and I HATE IT. If I had three wishes, one of them would be to get rid of my ibs, and my second wish would be to get rid of ibs from this planet in general. Like why are you going to avoid becoming a-let’s say a lawyer-why are you going to avoid becoming a lawyer just because your stomach needs relief ??? It’s crazy! And I’m so freakin jealous of people who don’t have it. You have pretty hair? Pretty eyes? Pretty smile? Don’t care. The real question here is: do you have ibs? No? Well, you’ve got it all!

I’m missing all of my afternoon classes because I am having an IBS attack... I hate this so much. 😔

The things she suggested to manage IBS are easier said then done. It’s hard to do anything when you can’t get off the toilet or can’t leave the house due to the severity of the cramps.

Good video and well explained anatomy and causes of IBS. The key to treating IBS for any chronic digestive disorders for lasting relief is to understand the root cause of the disease in the individual person and focus the treatment around that.

These comments made me feel so understood.ever sense ive been having flare ups of what i believe to be ibs, ive been terrified to go out and do thinhs from fear that i will feel ill. Ive tried explaining this to so many people but they never understood and always just told me to "get over it, just fight your fear". Ive tried, its hard.

Thank you for making these incredible videos! Good job 👍🏻 Keep going

I have decided to Stay on the side of Hope There Are people With Bigger problems Than What We Have.We Have to Thank God For the cindition We are in And Hope for the Best.GOD BLESS AND HEAL ALL OF YOU❤

All my life I’ve kind of enjoyed the sensation of pooping most of the time, it was stress relieving But now poop takes up valuable time I could be spending with my family.

I just wanted to let everyone here to have a chance to try this cause after going through many tips and medications through the years with having ibs I've always been in pain and would have break downs because of the pains and no being able to really do anything accept take laxatives almost everyday which is not natural to take everyday but I wanted to share this with you all cause it has helped tremendously and changed my life everyday I take magnesium and probiotics together everyday and it's done nothing but help me go naturally and have a regular bowel movement I hope this all helps you guys after years of trying everything this helped me so much!

I really do think that Ibs is caused by anxiety/stress especially if you’re stressed or anxious while you eat food, and if you eat food very quickly (like I tend to do a lot in an anxious habit) it’ll only make the symptoms worse

Believe me diet, exercise, yoga, I've tried everything. But still even after 4 years i m not fully cured. If the stress can be a trigger for this problem. But in my case this condition make my life stressful.

I just discovered I have this... I've been experiencing symptoms for years but these pasts months I have experienced anxiety attacks for the first time, VERY unpleasant.

I have just found you and I’m loving the content 😊

I wish more people knew what ibs is. I’ll go to my school’s open house to meet my teachers and I’ll tell them i have ibs and to expect me to sometimes be in the bathroom more than usual and they will look at me like i have two heads and ask “whats Ibs?” Then i have to explain it. I also wish there was a cure for this terrible syndrome that ruins everyday activities. I fear going out for a long period of time because I don’t want to get stuck in the restaurant restroom, I fear eating foods i love that can possibly trigger it, I can’t live my life without the fear of suddenly being on the toilet for an hour straight in pain. I respect everyone that has ibs ❤️

I had IBS-D for 20+ years. finally found the cause - Caffeine (about 5+ cups daily) and any form of nicotine - smoking, dipping, nic-gum, even the patches. quit those two things, (over several weeks) and my diarrhea stopped literally the next day after my last nicotine patch. I hope this helps someone... I wish I'd known 20 years ago.

I was diagnosed with ibs when I was about 12 or 13 years old. I'm now 21 and my diagnosis has changed from just to ibs to now additionally gastroparesis, visceral hypersensitivity and dysphagia. GI diseases suck and its such a struggle to learn to live with.

I have this and this even affected my height i had this problem from past 4 years i am 19 now my parents didnt even care about it and told its nothing. Lack of knowledge has led me here

It took 8 months to figure out I have this because of the huge range of symptoms I had which are chest pressure and pain which are my most occurring symptoms, (before seeing a GI specialist I saw two different cardiologists and my heart is totally fine), constipation, diarrhea, inability to empty bowels, indigestion, nausea, passing excessive amounts of gas, lots of burping. This was also a huge reason why I was just diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression. This sucks but I have been taking meds that have somewhat been helping so hopefully I will continue to get better.

I got Ibs-c from never managing my high levels of stress for 5 years, this year has been by far the worse dealing with panic attacks for a straight week, I didn't know then but all of a sudden I was having issues digesting stuff. It went away for a while but then I had another bad week I couldn't stop thinking about death and now for about 2 weeks and 2 days I've dealt with the worst symptoms and now I'm here. If you have very high stress and anxiety please find help before your body turns on you. I now deal with frequent attacks both mentally and now physically! Guess it's finally time for meds.

The most thing that make suffer from this is fast heart beating 😔💔

I have had IBS-D for over 40 years. I was finally, a year ago, put on a medication that has “slightly” changed my life. I have gone from having symptoms 3-4 times a week, to about once or twice a month. It’s not completely gone away, but my life is way better than it used to be.

I am 19, currently 1 year with IBS-D, I get dizzy spells, exhaustion, extreme anxiety, irritability, and depression during attacks, Align the probiotic has helped me. But when I get my IBS attacks, it rules my life. Just know you are not alone

Most people with intestinal problems need to deworm. I was DIAGNOSED with GERD, IBS ADHD. I was farting and burping all the time, thought I would need my appendix removed. (Like my mom and some of my siblings). Ended up having emergency gall bladder surgery (like my mom and several of my siblings). Nearly died. Doctors made me swallow some barium crap and scanned my abdomen, told me I needed more fiber as I was severely constipated. My belly was so big I could not reach my hands around it. Woke up with a sense of needing to cleanse. I did an herbal deworm. Dewormed my kids too. Two weeks later, my 18 month old daughter passed a clump of roundworms the size of a goofball into her diaper and another one. two weeks after that. My older child also passed parasites. Both were in the 95%-tile in growth. I passed six leeches between 3-7 inches long. Then I passed thousands of pods with baby leeches inside. Terrifying. Appendix discomfort went away. Still could not lose weight. I prayed about it and heard, "stop eating corn." The next week at the movie theatre I got popcorn, then vomited it all up immediately. Apparently, 95% of all corn in the USA is GMO. It produces ROUNDUP. I stopped all corn, took my kids off too. At 11/13 both fat too. I was 300 pounds. My youngest lost 45 pounds. All her joint pain went away. She could run and play like a normal kid. My oldest lost 35 pounds. Both kids Asthma went away. ADHD massively reduced. I lost 100 pounds. My stomach flattened. We stopped all synthetic food colors as well, so that is a huge part of ADHD. For me most signs of aging disappeared. My skin started smoothing out again. Also, Joint pain joint (inflammation was starting to form osteoarthritis in my knees): GONE. Ankle swelling: GONE. Adult acne: GONE. Neuropathic pain in my feet (felt like I was walking on nails each morning): GONE. GERD: GONE. IBS: GONE. Constipation (only pooping once a week): GONE. Brain fog: GONE. Bad moods and irritability:GONE. ADHD: gone, mostly. Asthma: GONE (until Covid hit, but we Corn is hidden as: maltodextrine, modified food starch, dextrine. We all surv My identical twin refuses to stop eating these things. At 350 pounds, pre diabetic, using a CPAP to breath, all the aforementioned issues plus high blood pressure, plus depression and other mental health issues... I'll likely be getting a funeral notice sometime in the near future. Won't listen to me, despite my reclaiming my health. Health is a choice mate.

It has been few months that I got IBS, at first I was questioning why me? Now I accept it and learned to ignore pains and live with it 😒

i had an accident on the bus in 6th grade, and was so embarrassed due to it. not too many people knew, but it went on badly till 9th grade. throughout those years, i had no medication prescribed that truly worked. i dreaded school everyday, and nothing could help. i am now online schooled (thanks covid) and lost so much stress about worrying about my stomach at school. i still have little flare ups every now and then, but only about once a month. i considered suicide it was so terrible. much love everyone.

its horrible. for me most of the time I eat, I get stressed out that my stomach might hurt. and then it does and it doesnt feel good at all. hope anyone that has it will survive through it ♡︎

My symptoms get much much worse when I'm on my period, it had me thinking endometriosis at one point. Makes sense it's linked to anxiety, and now I'm wondering which came first, the stomach pains triggering a panic attack or my panic attack triggering stomach pains? I also have hypothyroidism, I wonder how much that has to do with this

Every day at school is torture. Currently 16 and i don't know how to live with this... constant absences in school or tardies because of this.

I discovered your video on Stomach Oracle Omnibus - there are lots great videos there that may help out

Man, really makes me feel for Ike and everyone else who suffers from it

I’m 19 I just got diagnosed with ibs I already had anxiety but it got worst ! I wouldn’t eat anything during the day if I knew I had to go to the store later on !

Guys chill I am also 26 but I observed this happened only when in stress or just sit after eating the food or sleep. Eat smaller portion specially in night do the walk after each meal avoid caffeine or cold drinks..

Hello Everyone I hope you all are doing well... I just wanted to tell you guys that it all started after my father passed away in January 2022 after that I went into severe depression and anxiety after some time I started having difficulty in swallowing food.Side By Side I was having migraines all the time and too much bloating and heartburn. It's been more than a year but my symptoms are still there and I also have pain around my navel and at the tipe of left rib cage. I sometimes have diarrhea and sometimes it's normal. I suffer from panic attacks almost everyday.

Excellent video thanks ❤

I swear ibs is so frikking traumatizing. The way it has hurt me so deeply and traumatized my body and mind. I don't ever look at life and live life the same ever again. With each painful episode I go thru, I always wonder each time if I'm gonna make it out alive...

I dread waking up every morning

Alhamdulillah. My IBS-C was gone after get rid of anxiety and stress. I feel so much improvement on second day. Now try to live peacefully no matter what happens. I have to be firm on my faith. Don't bring anxiety and stress on your life. Let God determine our future. May Allah SWT guide us ❤

Just turned 19 and i got diagnosed right before it was my birthday. Ive been sick for 4 months now, constantly feeling ill, like i have to puke and bad stomach cramps. I really wish this wasnt chronic💔

I'm currently slowly coming off antidepressant after more than a year. I've been so stressed with work lately and I can feel my gut acting up. I also sometimes think this is psychological, apart from me eating unhealthy

im 14 and this is pretty embarrassing but when i was younger i used to hold in my poop because i was scared of using the bathroom. i got over the fear, but it caused my body to have a weird habit of holding it in any time i had to use the restroom. i'm trying to recover from this, but i'm scared it's caused me to get ibs. i have all the symptoms but i'm too embarrassed to tell my mom to help me since she doesn't know about any of this. she also overreacts a lot and would most likely tell the rest of my family and take me to the hospital. i dont want that to happen so can anyone recommend how to get rid of symptoms discretely without medications and stuff?

I never eat before an exam because I know the stress and anxiety surrounding it will all go straight to my stomach

I really like the whitebaord animation, it looks really professionell. Great video. nice regards sebastian

I am 19 and I've facing this shit from 1 year now. Always constipated and bloated can't go out to eat with friends my daily life is hugely affected.

Does anyone else watch these videos and read the comments during a flare up (i.e. on the toilet) so they don’t feel alone? I just had a burrito with no onions, beans, just rice, cheese, grilled chicken, olives, and lettuce and I’m still in pain.

Honestly not sure if others are having this problem or if I have something else but for me the biggest issue isn’t even the stomach aches because they go away when I take a shit but the hard part for me is never feeling satisfied after using the toilet and feeling like I still need to push even though I don’t think there’s anything else coming out. Might be TMI but idk I haven’t seen anyone mention this on top of the other symptoms

Did anyone else get their ibs after a stressful life event?? Mine started almost straight after my mum passed away.

It feels like I ate something spicy and won’t go away plus I don’t feel bloated or anything

Thanks for advice.

I don’t know for sure if I have ibs but I recently expericed a dramatic change In bowel movements! I used to poop everyday but now only 1 or less than 3 a week! I experience bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort sometimes indigestion or nausea! But I am just investigating what can cause constipation that doesn’t want to get better!

for me sleep has a HUGE impact on pain and bloating, if I dont sleep at least 7 hours straight I have pain all day

I think I have this 😭 2 days ago, I woke up and suddenly I had the urge to go to the bathroom but nothing comes out and then I drank milk, ate cookies and basically every single dairy food I can find (I'm dumb I know but I thought it was just normal constipation and I normally eat dairy products) and then I got diarrhea 😩 It's so frustrating because apparently it's incurable and I won't be able to eat my favorite foods ever again.

I found that keeping a record of foods that irritate then leaving them out of my diet plus homeopathic remedies when there is an issue have helped enormously. My problem has been created and compounded by the insecticide Roundup. Now I have gone completely organic.

I have never been diagnosed but a friend mentioned when I talked about my experience. What I have always had: when I want to go to the loo, I really mean it. But once in the toilets, it takes time and effort to finish. When I think I am, I am not. But Everytime I leave, I feel uncomfortable. What is by periods: the frequency. I always go every day. But there are periods where I go 3-4 times a day. Periods where I have pain in my pelvic floor and upper belly. Worst periods: my bowel movements making me be late for meetings at work, having to leave a place and cancel an outdoor activity. But no matter what, I am always careful to know where the closest toilets are when I travel, just in case. I thought I was the only weirdo who could hold my pee easier than my poo. 😅

For me, it usually happens at night when my stomach tries to digest all the food I ate for the day and finds the foods I shouldn’t have eaten. It becomes hard to sleep because I get dry mouth, bloaty, and crampy. Sometimes I get acid reflux. It’s difficult sometimes because I’m trying to burp it out for relief. But while I sleep I sometimes gasp for air because of trying to breathe, swallow and burp all at once so it wakes me up.. Sometimes I have to get up and walk around to relieve myself of all the gas buildup. It helps after a Long while of walking until gas subsides.. some nights are more tolerable than others..

This helped tremendously

My husband was finally diagnosed at Mayo with Meckel's Diverticulum! Please get a Meckel test!!!

Well explained good♥️

It’s a disease that you don’t want! It’s not predictable and very painful 😣

There are also food triggers!

I am now experiencing this symptoms and a diarrhea for a year now :(( I poop 3-5 times a day, 6-8 if it's worse. My stool is inconsistent, when i'm at home it's normal, but when I go out or go to school, it's watery. Last time I went to my school for an exam, I poop like 3 times in the last 30 minutes, Imagine that? How can you even live like that, For the past year, My poop has blood on it 2 times. My life is ruined, I am scared because I am a graduating student and I am the bread winner of my family. I am scared cause I really wanna help my family. But how can I do that if I can't even go out in public just for an hour? I CONSIDERED SUICIDE MANY TIMES, and I don't know if I can take it much longer. Also, When I see that someone is using the bathroom, my stomach acts up and suddenly I need to poo. It is so annoying, I want to rest. Like, I can't take it anymore :(((

I have ibs gerd tonsilitis sinusitis and I'm lactose so I literally can't eat almost anything without getting sick plus I have painful breathing because here is active a lot and I'm almost unable to move at times. Also feels like other parts of my body suffer from the pain too..

i've had IBS since birth, i'm now almost 14 and doctors haven't been helping well.. It makes me feel left out and scared to meet new people cause they'll bully me which has happened before. But after reading most of these comments, i know i'm not alone..

I have GERD, IBS, and really bad anxiety these things don’t mix well at all and recently with my anxiety it gives me migraines Im only 17 too and have no idea how this came to be ☹️ I used to be in love with milk but now milk seems to trigger my IBS and my GERD seems to be triggered by food and everything in general and even water makes me feel nauseous. I don’t know what to do anymore besides work on my mental health and fix my GERD. I feel like It’s killing me slowly.

i’m not sure if this is what i have, it doesn’t occur daily or even weekly, it honestly changes and occurs mostly during, before, or after stressful events. I have every symptoms of IBS besides daily problems, they mostly occur every month or every few months.

Found out i have it and am trying to eat better and relax more

Does anyone get “airy” or “lightheaded”? like you are almost in a fog? Or how about accelerated heart rate at times?

After a Cryptosporidium infection, my stomach, mental state, and physical health have never been the same.

when the symptons get really bad the only thing that helps me stop the diarreah is antibiotics even if the tests show I don't have any infection or there isn't anything wrong with me. I also get dizzy after I eat, I have nausea in the morning, my palms sweat and the worst sympton is not being able to finish my meal because I have to go to the bathroom once I star eating... :(

My sister has this disease and now I understand why one day she cried and screamed in horrible pain

i'm 24 and i have ibs 5 years now. After many tests i realised that the foods that causes me this condition are: -lentils (maybe all legumes i believe) -eggs -yogurt (cheese and all fats causes me constipation) -rice -fried potatoes and chips -onions -olives -bananas -carrots (and many others that i don't remember but those are the main) My diet right now is very simple and i'm almost vegan because everything else causes me pain, gasses, bloat and contipation. Some foods that helped me like a laxative are: -Broccoli (2 big or 3 small-big portion) -Kiwis -3 well mashed apples with skin or even 4 if you have serious problem (you can add honey or sugar and cinnamon for better taste) this pulp helps me *A LOT* with the constipation. (apple without skin causes me constipation) -sometimes wholemeal pasta (small portion) with a big portion of homemade tomato sauce with olive oil seems to help me. I hope i helped even a little. ps i don't smoke, i don't drink coffee, i'm female 53 kg, i don't eat a lot, i drink plenty of water and i had serious depression and anxiety when this started. I'm super calm and relaxed now but the problem didn't stop. I believe this was the reason but it can be cured with specific diet.I suggest you keep a complete daily diary to understand which foods bother you, I consider it a perfect solution.

I don't get diarrhea but i do get alot of gas. For me i can feel my stomach constantly and it really sucks. Even now it feels uncomfortable aswell banana's can also upset me. If you don't got IBS you will most likely never understand how bad it can be. And the fact it is constantly there. Stress and anxiety don't seem to be a cause for me but as of the past few months it's just been getting worse and there's nothing I can do about it.

My first semester of college was hell I had pain so bad I was convinced I had cancer. I went to get an MRI and a colonscopy and they didn't find anything at the end I was diagnosed with IBS. Having a sensitive gut isn't fun it's a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone

I have suffring same problem .3/4 times need to go bathroom like diherah very hard to work i don't know what to do

i literally wake up with my stomach hurting and go to sleep with it hurting.. it's like my own personal hell. I'm constipated 70% of the time but I found that dried plums, psyllium husk, espresso shots, lots of water, AND THE STEP STOOL. Raising your feet in a squatting position helps so much while pooping. I am severly gluten intolerant and lactose intolerant, spicy foods (esp chips) literally SHREDDS my stomach im in constant pain man. Even when I eat healthy foods such as lentils for protein it still makes me have symptoms such as being bloated and cramps. Does anyone else have any tips??

My stomach is so much better now and I don’t suffer from constipation, but at times I still have stomach pain and due to past stomach noises I get uncomfortable in quiet environments, I get anxiety and start freaking out if I’m not distracted or listening to something. I’m not able to perform to my best ability. So school is still hard for me

I’m not really sure if this is something I have I feel bloated almost after every meal and switch on and off from constipated to diarrhea but I’ve never had any pain for gas issues so?

I recently just healed for stomach ulcers now I have this ... I honestly dont even wanna live anymore

The fact that when ever I eat something I pain is just horrible. I sometimes feel like I'm in hell
