7 days

Hi guys, I suffer with IBS, however it’s been under control for the last 2 months or so. Suddenly 7 days ago I started with chronic diahorrea and nothing helps! Everything I eat or drink is going straight through me. Any advice welcomed, thanks

I would check in with a Dr.... I'm not always really quick to say that...but I feel this would help you... It might be a virus.... Make REALLY sure you are staying hydrated and stay away from ALL foods that have any amount of white/wheat flour (gluten)...OK? OK! Best wishes to you, Coco! Let us know how it all turns out.

Sometimes a virus, or food posioning can start the whole Cycle off. Takes ages for me to recover from a bout like that. Eat bland food at first over a few days. Then gradually introduce other foods. If its not a virus or food poisoning. You need to work out what your food triggers are. Keep food diary. Good luck.!!🍀

That’s what I’m thinking tbh. It’s been 9 days now and my stomach is slightly better but I think it’s only because I’ve not been eating. I think it’s been some kind of virus but because of my ibs it’s just taking me a long time to recover, thanks penny

Hi, have you tried Bentyl? You can get it with a prescription from a primary care Doctor, Gastroenterologist, etc. You can Google it. Excellent med. I can eat things like ice cream. It helps stop cramping, intestinal, rectal spasms, and diarrhea. You can take it up to 4 times a day as needed, 30 minutes before a meal.

P.S. if it has been 9 days, it may be more than a virus or "stomach bug". Those only last a few days. You may have IBS-A. Why suffer? Not eat? I hope you will try the Bentyl.
