Ibs or something else
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm 28 three children (1,3 and 6) I'm so fed up. I have constant nausea that feeling your going to get a sickness but I'm on esomoprezole and anti sickness meds but they don't take the feeling away. First thing in morning and night I get excessive wind and got to the toilet between 1-4 times within 2 hours. I always feel exhausted and no energy I can't even play with
My children. I get cramping and niggles from my stomach right down to groin. It's taking over my life

I am still not convinced it is IBS because it is really just the nausea bothering me. But I think that I got into a bit of a circle. Because I feel nauseous all the time I get anxious when I can't reach the loo which makes me feel more nauseous. Like when I stay at home it is usually not as bad, while I really hate going on the Bus now.
One thing that has really improved the condition for me is cutting out gluten. If you try it you have to be very careful, because it is in a lot of things you won't be aware off like sausages, soy sauce and sometimes they just add it to random stuff like I have seen peanuts with added wheat. Also it takes about 1-2 weeks for gluten to get out your body. When I started I thought oh it's not gluten, because I didn't see the effect but only when I went 2 weeks strictly without it, it improved massively.
The other thing you might want to look up is Candida.
I will let you know if I find anything.

As easy thing to do is ask your doctor to help you try a FODMAP diet, This is initially an exclusion diet to eliminate a range of food ingredients called FODMAPS. Some people finf relief from day 1 qhile others take 6 - 8 - 10 weeks. If this makes you better then you try introdcing new foods to expand your choice of foods.
This is quite simple, quick cheap and if it works your problem is solved.
You need help from your doc and a dietician who understands how hard the diet can be at times. I think that fionding that cutting out gluten increases the chance that this diet will help you. This is not a fad diet. It was developed by Monash University Melbourne for IBS. No one makes money out of it. You can search it on the internet for loads of free information from Monash, an Amerrican University and London Bridge hospital.
You need determination to make sure you don't cheat even a little bit. For example one FRODMAP you are avoiding is lactose. So NO lactose. NO milk in your coffee NO cream on your desert No butter.
Cheating on the diet only makes your chance of happiness fade away because you will never know if you are lactose intolerant. Same with other FODMAPS
Dont make the mistake of thinking healthy food is good food. The FODMAP diet is not about healthy food. The challenge is to find as big a range of allowable foods so you can be healthy. You have to eat reasonable serves, even of foods that are allowed. For example I saw that bananas were allowed. So I ate 5 or 6 per day instead of other things that were harder to get. This produced the symptoms even though it was allowable. Now I limit myself to three bananas or less, usually two a day.
Good Luck
I hope it helps
