I can't eat any roughage

Posted , 5 users are following.

  If I eat fruit or vegetables such as beans, broccoli, popcorn, etc. I get cramping the next day or two days later and I'm in the bathroom for hours with cramps and excessive bowel movments.  It's like I take a laxative.  Then, I take an Imodium and get constipated and the cycle starts all over.  I don't have diarhhea, just normal stools.  I never make plans for mornings, for I never know when it's going to act up.  Usually it stops within five hours or less with Imodium.  Anyone else have this?

    Probiotics has freed my stomach cramps. Balance the good bacteria with yeast. Eating yogurt daily and taking probiotics. When I take antibiotics it kills all the good bacteria and yeast takes over and then I have taken nystatin one pill with each course of antibiotics and it prevents the loss of good bacteria in the gut. 

    I stay away from greasy foods fried foods sugar and pop. Drink lots of water. It has gone away. I no longer have to know where every restroom is when I go out. 

    It is horrible I admit but for some of us with IBS or the issue you mentioned it's as simple as changing a few things in your diet that may trigger cramping and constipation /diarrhea .
