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'm new to this ibs stuff so forgive me if this is somthing you explored early.
I was having the same problem. I'm also a very big woman and dieting. Well, i was doing the dr. gott's no flour, no sugar diet. instead of sugar, you use substitutes. I have a huge sweet tooth! BIG MISTAKE. Artificial sweetners were causing me major problems. Didn't realize it until stopped. I also always drank diet coke. Having cut that and the sweetners has helped significantly.
Maybe you are having a trigger issue==and it doesn't have to be a typical food. Just try eliminating things you have daily and see if it helps.
