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.
Ok 1st time trying anything like this so here I go . My GI doctor says I have IBS. What happens is everyday my BM is in early mourning like clock work, after BM my stomach begins to hurt for couple hours then stops for couple hours . It begans to get bloated around 11am and turns into cramps until 6pmish . It will stop and restart again next day just like grounds hog's day ? I do not have D or C just normal BM. Has anyone ever had this?This been going 6 months straight . I have had upper and lower GI .It said everything is normal . I am on Low Fodmap diet plus no eggs ,nuts , corn or spices . I drink my body weight in water . I take IBS Clear and probiotices . Drink all the tummy teas out there, tried essential oils , I take RX meds but nothing has help. I am not stess and love fitness.
My question is do I have IBS or think I got other GI issue?
asparagus once cause my dietician said eat veg from a can cause it's soft, and I had severe cramps for 5 days. This was following a colonoscopy . I have had cramps now for 3 months, back to broth, the surgeon said it might be my IBS acting up not so much the divertic,,, even though the divertic...was inflammed, ,. and was definitely a problem. I am also daily intolerant so it is hard to diagnose..exeacty what the problem really is. I eat bland foods or I suffer. I eat crackers insread of bread, when I eat bread I cut off the crust , it is
too heavy in my stomach..
