Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello, never done this before so not sure how much to share. I have recently has two really extreme ibs reactions.
For years I have taken our diary, wheat, fruit, tomatoes, strawberries. Everything. Mine seems to be random.
I am looking for help and advice on how to change my situation in a positive way. I have suffered from depression and have anxiety and panic attacks.
Lifestyle tips and support would be great xx

1. Sleep Sleep Sleep giving sufficient amount of rest to yur body reduces bp and in turn stress and other thngs
2. hang out with friends as much as posible if u are social type try to visit new place enjoy and admire the beauty of the place with yur besties, for ppl lyk me who are reserved type can enjoy listening yur favourite songs in mobile phone,playing video games helps a lot.
3.whatever problem may be speak out.Speak with the ppl who have same wavelength as yours dnt speak with the ppl who argue with you or oppose your thoughts
4.Identify the cause of stress
For example it may be office or love failure whatever may be in my case it was love failure i stopped thinking about the girl at begining it was great hurdle i distracted myself from that by playing mobile games whenevr her thinking comes i will take my mobile and start to play the game now iam ok iam not thinking her because these emotional things are also responsible for IBS
same way if yu feel ur work is stressed find some new work
these things can help you well
goodluck

Sleep made me worse. If I sleep more than 8 hours I am likely to become ill and less than 5 the same result.
I have ASD so sadly that is not an option though agree with music
Definitely recognise love failure but I was both in and out of the relationship.
That may be easier said than done because if your background is in a stressful role that is where agencies want to place you again.
Some things you have said I have found by myself and can confirm but others' such as sleep I have found does not work for me which I know is counter intuitive.

I definitely do not have boundless energy but stress makes me worse.

Dude thanks for replying iam not saying to sleep all the tym but sleeping more than 10 hours a day is not accepted it makes yu more lazy i said it should be around 8 -12 hours usually some ppl who are stressed wouldnt be getting sleep for 5 hours if that was the case, i said to have a sound sleep which could relax your body....
U had misconception with bananas.Actually bananas helps me a lot sometimes it would be difficult for me to pass stools then eating a one helps me a lot.so i told.
these were the advices given by doctor and some f them worked randomly but my worry s that iam not getting rid of this thing permanently...So iam in search of permanent cure
thanks
have a healthy lyf ahead
godbless
hope yu have a great

In your first post it said 9-10 hours but if that works for you excellent but did not work for me and may have been too much sleep which helped make me ill as much better on normal sleep.
That is exactly why I am here the elusive cure
That is interesting as I always put bananas in a smoothie so was unsure if I was eating too many.
I sleep very heavily so the problem for me is waking up but that is a whole new thread as I also have SPD.

Hello Lonely I note your last line "not getting rid of this thing permanently." So you do you find despite the changes you have made you still get IBS attacks where maybe you lose control of your body for a time.
Do you also find there is a longer period between the attacks for not?
For me there is definitely a longer period. I have gone from 2 - 3 day to monthly or bi monthly but each attack wipes me out for a few days so it would still be difficult to work hence I too am in search of a permanent cure.
