I already have ibs but have I got something more?!
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi,
I am 18 years old and have had ibs for many years but officially got diagnosed about two years ago. I have suffered with stomach cramps, nausea and frequently needing the toilet. Recently it has made me quite depressed. I am scared to go out and will only go out when I have to. I struggle to get to work sometimes and its ruining my life. I went to the doctors the other day to ask for more tests as I have only had a blood test to diagnose ibs and I also want to see a speacialist. when I went to the doctors he wanted to feel my stomach and as he pressed anywhere on my stomach it was hurting in betweem my chest so much that I gasped in pain. After that I was in a lot of pain , burping and hiccuping frequently. I drunk a milkshake and felt really sick but luckily managed to keep it down . After that I havent felt sick much more but I have noticed that I have been a lot more bloated than usual , I look heavily pregnant and it is so uncomfortable! Im not sure if this is due to my ibs or something different? The doctor sent me off for a blood test and said my stomach is tender. Sorry that its so long but I really want to know, it really gets me down! Thanks in advance x

Thanks for your reply. I know it is usually diet so I do keep an eye on this however I havent really found any foods that particularly triggers for my ibs apart from alcohol. I will try with the prebiotics and see how that helps.
Thanks again

cut down to no fruit or very little fruit and always eat fruit on an empty stomach with no other food for at least two hours after.

Quit sugar and breads at some point aswell.
Ibs seems to take time so this stuff needs to be done for a few weeks before you may notice improvements... But you will improve! Monitoring your diet is important. I neglected it and disregarded food diary as a way to help... How wrong I was. The food diary help massively.

and ginger in a kettle drink it hot. for two days all day make some more and every day drink at least three cups it can be cold or hot. however you prefer it , garlic heals anything in your stomach and ginger will stop the bloating and cramps. stay away from all dairy products because it is ovious you had issue with milk. keep drinking the garlic and water throught each day. this will help your tummy isues, get a piece of fresh garlic no lomger than youor second finger and a whole clove of garlin peeled and minced both them bring to a boil and let cool then drink each day it wont hurt you try to drink at least 4 to 5 cups each day,

You are right when you say it cannot hurt. But with some it might be a waste of time and money. A lot of pepole get sick and tired of tryinig things that cost them money and do not work. Bloating etc is usually becaue of gut flora.
Ginger does not help with gut flora, biotics and prebiotics do. I dont need to "try it". I had problems with my stomach and resolved them. I hope you feel better soon too.
