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.

Yoghurt, yes or no?

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.)

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

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'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...

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
