Ever hopeful that there will be a cure for IBS

[Sandylygoe]

I have had IBS for 50 years ... Such a complex condition but to give younger sufferers hope ... Although inconvenient I have led a busy and happy life .. Had 5 children and an active social life..

Don't let it stop you getting on with things and learn to manage your own condition because all sufferers have different triggers

Always interested in hearing how other people cope

I don't let it stop me, I have mine under control most if the time.

Someday a cure will be found, that new organ they discovered in the intestines a month or so, it has been said that it might have something to do with it all and might lead to a cure. Fingers crossed.

Hi. The thing that's helping me is the low FODMAP diet. Foods that have a small fermentation rate in the bowel.

It's a liifesaver!

I have for over 30 yrs both food and anxiety fuelled and takes over my lufe really.

What have you done to manage it so well ?

[Sandylygoe in reply to calista]

I eat small meals when out .. Try to stay busy and calm and always register where the toilets are.. Oh and take Imodium to slow the gut down when necessary

[kipper1958 in reply to Sandylygoe]

How often do you use Imodium and how many in one day do you need to take?

Hi Sandy,

I am sure I have put my finger on the root causes of IBS, and maybe other autoimmune diseases too. I have beaten my after over 25 years. Have a look around my blog: SickofIBS.com I am currently working on a self-help recovery guide, so that everyone can find the way out of their IBS. So don't give up

Hi, I have had IBS-C for many years, it does stop me doing a few things and enjoying life to the full, but I try and think positive, looking forward to having special times with family and friends. Eating out can be some times tricky, trying to avoid FODMAPS, but I can go out so I am very lucky. As more research is done, we all hope there is going to be some light at the end of the very long tunnel! 😃

Hi jimtom, I am behind the times with that, I have not heared about a new organ being discovered. Yes fingers crossed.

[Hidden in reply to bigbunbun3]

It was on news a while ago I'm sure you can find out about it on the net

[calista in reply to Hidden]

Would that be an organism ?

IBS is actually Naval Displacement, It can be cured 100%. Believe me modern science doesn't believe this and IBS is not curable for them. But it is 100% curable by right setting of your Naval. If Naval moves downward from center then is causes IBS-D if it moves from center to upward then it causes IBS-C. Believe me you can cure 100% and of course free of cost.
