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.

Fermented Food

Has anyone tried this with any luck. Sauerkraut is an example of fermented food. I have heard a lot about this lately so I wonder if it has helped anyone.

I had some last night and believe it or not things were better today.

Saurkraut makes me very gassy but it does have some good bacteria.

I had sauerkraut with hot dogs. ! of my favorite summer foods. I thought I was going to need to go to the er. That is the last time for that. It is really hard to give up foods that we have liked and always ate. I hope you feel better.

It's my second day eating sauerkraut. I'm doing it for because it's fermented and I heard it is good bacteria like al67 said. I'll let you know tomorrow if things get rough or if I improve.

Good luck with that. Saurkraut would send me straight to the ER.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????
