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've been off all milk products since I got sick but my doc told me to take yoghurt as it's different than other milk products. I'm thinking of cutting out my yoghurt for awhile. Any thoughts or experience with this? (I've been very gassy lately.)

yougurt was the only milk product that would never give me problems.

Try Dannon Activia. It's rich of pro-biotics, which helps IBS symptoms.

Thank you!

Try kefir instead of yogurt. It has more types of beneficial bacteria and since the bacteria eats up all the lactose sugar, it doesn't hurt people with lactose intolerance.

Thanks to this I can now eat pizza :). I'm in the advanced stages of a cure, so don't everyone try to eat pizza, OK?

i still have milk products because i enjoy them and that is how i get my calcium...however when i have a flare i try to stay away from it. =) So i understand what you mean, but make sure you are taking a calcium supplement and yogurt is good at any time! =) Gassy can be from greasy foods and other things as such! I hope you feel better and don't have to worry so much! It stinks but we are all here for you!

I've been taking yogurt for the acidolphilus, etc., good bacteria off and on and it is a little easier to digest than regular milk but it does make me gassy.Right now, i am only taking the Kyolic brand of good bacteria which causes some gas but gets "thngs" going at least and does not make me feel so bloated.

i use to love yogurt but lately its been a turn off for me.. i ate ice cream the other day and felt so sick.. i may try the soy kind of yogurt or the dannon.. i have been gassy too so iam staying away from it..

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????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
