IBS makes me want to stay home

[Dogloverintucson]

Hi. New to this forum. Does anyone struggle with IBS or other stomach issues? My IBS has gotten worse lately. I do yoga, eat pretty good and go to a depression support group. I don't eat much wheat nor milk nor raw veggies....though I love them....to limit pain and bathroom time. Anyone have problems like mine?

Have you been tested for Coeliac ? I had suffered for 18 yrs before being diagnosed with it. You could be intolerant to Dairy products or other things. My doctor just kept telling me it was irritable bowel. Hope you get checked if you haven't yet. Good Luck.

yes!!! Go to a good gastroenterologist. Try FODMAP diet. Work with a nutritionist. Take probiotics. Make sure you do not also have lactose problems.

My hubby does. Yogurt and probiotics seem to help him. Forgive the spelling please. Too tired to change it!!!!!!

Thanks for the replies. I've had a colonoscopy from the GI doctor... and no signs of celiac. I do think I'm lactose sensitive. Well like anything chronic you have to change your lifestyle...that's the hardest part for me.
