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 have IBS and ulcers. I tried acimax-helped ulcer but caused cramping, somac-helped ulcer but still cramping and zantac-helped ulcer with only a small amount of cramping by this time the ulcer had healed enough to come off meds. I only use it now if i feel the ulcer is active and stop when symptoms settle. I hope this helps!!!

Hello ladyglitt,
i used to have ulcers like you ,if your tablets are making you worse the best thing to do is to get in touch with your doctor and he probably will change your medicine,you don't want to put up with all that pain,hope you soon feel better.

it seems that only those that end up saying things like "no one here cares about me" end up getting responses and hugs and attention...the rest of the posts just get read and move on.

i was just happy to find that i was not alone in my distress and that i wasnt nuts! it really wasnt all in my head...i might be a tad crazy...but i am not nuts! :-)

i just searched thru the archived messages to get the info i needed...

I've had good luck with Nexium for healing ulcers. My husband takes Nexium also and he has diverticulitis.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
