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.

Hi, I have had a flare up off and on for two weeks, IBS D, I have had some tr4ying stessful times lately, which seems to set me off. What I feel worried about is the feeling of sickness that sweeps over me now and then.
.Does anyone else feel sick sometimes? Sorry such a worrier and its so good to be able to ask and not feel silly.
Thank you for your time, Ann

Don't apologize for asking what is on your mind. Anyone having problems with their bowels can make them feel sick...nausea,aches and pains...headache..

Yes, I get that feeling with the first bowel movement if I'm going to have diahrea that day. I feel like I have the flu, a little. Everything is just upset. I just try to think about the fact that the meds need time to work and try to distract myself if I can. Having chronic illness isn't fun. But it is challenging.

I hate that sick feeling that creeps up from IBS. Such a nasty feeling and frankly, often at the worse times.

Gentle hugs. Hope you continue to improve and feel better soon.

My heart races, when the problem is stress and my head is what I call "crazy head" . I know that I usually settle down after 2 days. Isabelle1954
