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.

Hey, i've had ibs for probably 23 yrs now....so don't be scared ok. I know how frustrating this can be!!! Have you tried any kind of fiber to bulk up? Or immodium? I try not to use too much immodium though, only when i'm really desperate. I find it makes me worse about the 3rd day after i take it....but you def. need to find something that will help bulk up your stools. My ibs goes from one end to another, in that for a while it will be constipation, then the opposite. Which more than not it's diarreaha and that can be very devastating!!!I hope you have been to a gastro where they can give you samples of things to try. Don't give up...keep trying to find something that will work for you. Good luck!!!

for the runs and cramps I take lomitil. By the time I take it I am thankful to not go a day or two and It doenst usually bind me up so much that I cant go when I need to. The first sign that Im going to be in the restroom all day and I use one. I have had IBS for over 10 years as well. I had it undercontrol where I didnt need the lomitil much and then all of a sudden out of the blue it got really supper bad and not even lomitl would stop me. I added bananas to my diet for a couple weeks and Im getting back to normal...But I too worried something was seriously wrong when out of no where it came back full force... your not alone

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...
