Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

I some times get light headed or giddy with IBS flare ups. For me I think I'm not drinking enough and I know I eat very lightly as well. That may be all it is. I hope so for both our sakes.
I'm getting over a gastritis/IBS flare up and I pray we're both pain free again very soon.

I had a bug for Christmas. Started 7 a.m. on Christmas eve morning. JUst prior to this I thought I'd finally gotten rid of my IBS-C!

I'll have to see now as a recoup from the bug how I do. and then I'll be back to share any good news.

Maybe a lot of you are like me: I start coming down with a bug and among my symptoms is total constipation. I think it's because my digestion slows down with the cold (bug).

Seemed to me using magnesium CREAM was doing a lot of good for me (just prior to the bug), as well as not eating wheat/grains.

More as it happens!
