Ibs help

Posted , 2 users are following.

So after tons of blood work and urine and stool test nothing serious was found . So I've been told I have Ibs which has never been as bad as it is. So my few questions are do you go to the bathroom alot?/Does ibs cause weight loss?/Do you get lots of gas where your stomach is rumble city ?/ Does lower abdominal pain come and go I mostly get it on the right / And any recommended diets ?

    IBS is different with each patient. We all have our own triggers, may it be food, stress or anxiety. When in a flare, yes you can go to the bathroom a lot of times, like 5-10 in an hour or so. Again it differs with each one of us. For me. as stress is my biggest trigger, yes I have lots of trapped gas. 

    I would recommend the low fodmap diet. =)
