Fed up

[3682]

Does anyone else feel washed out with this constant diarrhoea I'm so fed up of feeling ill.

Bless you I've been there. What do you think your trigger is this time? Are you trying any meds? Take some Imodium if you need a break from it. X

[3682 in reply to Nicki1984]

Loperamide and that does not really work much either

[Nicki1984 in reply to 3682]

Ask your doc for mebeverine I really noticed a difference with this. Have you tried FODMAP? Wheat/gluten and dairy tend to be common triggers but could be lots more. Also stress/anxiety. What does your doc say? X

I'm very stressful right now and scared to what it maybe so can't eat or sleep,lost a lot of weight but I can afford too

[Nicki1984 in reply to 3682]

I've been there. Unfortunately stress/anxiety and IBS is a viscious cycle. Anxiety Panicking about Panic by Justin Fletcher is a great book focusing on physical symptoms and working on them. Keep trying trial and error with your IBS but also look at your stress, some counselling may help it helped me. X

Your right

Ask your doctor if you can try Questran (cholestyramine). This is a treatment for Bile Acid Disorder (BAD) which causes never-ending diarrhoea.

This condition isn't always recognised by medics although it's the cause of many cases of so-called IBS-D.

Was talking to her yday did not want to know useless I'm basically on my own

[Nicki1984 in reply to 3682]

Get another doctor. To be fair docs are useless as they just don't know enough about IBS. I think America is a little bit more ahead? Have a look on Internet and maybe try a probiotic? X

I have a rectal prolapse I'm wondering if that could be causeing the diarrhoea as it maybe stopping stools coming through.As most days I feel I'm sitting on a brick I have a special cushion?
