IBS with 7x bowel movements a day.

[IBSsufferer_26]

I am a 27 year old male who was diagnosed with IBS last year. I currently take Liperomide 2mg capsules to slow my bowels down. I have to take two in order to have one bowel movement, two bowel movements or some times three bowel movements a day. Before taking the medication I used to open my bowels 7x a day. I'm just wondering what's causing me to have 7x bowel movements a day. Because I don't have the typical IBS symptoms. Such as: Constipation, Diarrhoea, Abdominal. Etc. I however do suffer with bloating. I eat ok. I don't eat junk food. I also don't chase fast food chains for my meals either. I just wondering if any ist has had similar experiences to mine. And if there is a cure then please somebody let me know. I have had Colonoscopys, Defecating Proctograms, Etc. Nothing showed up. Also had Bowel Retraining. Never helped.

I'm sorry to say that their is no cure for ibs I only wish there was I have had both ibs c and d. It can be caused by stress, food intolerance what beverages you drink. I'm on a gluten free and lactose free diet which defiantly helps, I've tried every medication I take merbentyl 20mg three times a day and paracetamol for the pain. I do have tramadol but tend not to take it. I also had my gall bladder out about four years ago the pain from that was excruciating!!! Because I don't have a gall bladder anymore I get heartburn or Gerd I take Omeprazole 10mg once a day. If you do find a cute please let me know I've had it for 30 yrs !!!

Well my friend used to have IBS, and she took some detox tea and that cured her. She was like you, in constant pain and terrible stomach cramps, Diarrhoea, Constipation. You name it, she had it.

Have u had any antibiotics near when this started

For u? Or a illness, a case of food poisoning?

I only ask as ur gut bacteria could be all over place if u had.

I got ibs after a terrible stomach infection. The antibiotics ruined my stomach bacteria and i now have weird food intolerances and pooped ALOT!!

Never had before it just came from nowhere.

Until i saw a gastro who asked me about antibiotics and any illness it kinda clicked in my head.

So i was told to get on probiotics, digesestive enzymes, peppermint oil and a tablet called DIDA. As they said i had candida/sibo which is a stomach bacteria inbalance.

I am fine now... i still have it but no where near like i did.

Normal pooping has commenced lol.

No stomach problems aless i eat something stomach doesnt like.

I also went gluten and dairy free

[IBSsufferer_26]

I know your right. Dairy free and Gluten free are the best options. Dairy is no good for the gut or the body. I haven't had any antibiotics for a long time well over a year or two. This all started a year ago. I currently take Liperomide to slow my bowels down. The hospital say it is psychoismatic (meaning it's all in my mind). I know it's not. I don't suffer with the typical ibs symptoms: Constipation, Diarrhoea, Abdominal pain ETC. There must be a cure for this damn condition. I visited a Homeopathy website. It said to drink Ginger Tea, Take a teaspoonful of Flaxseeds twice a day, scrub your tongue with a tongue scrubber. Avoid carbohydrates. I:E: Pasta, Bread, Crackers, Cereal, Etc. And basically everything with dairy in it. For example: Cheese, Milk Chocolate, Whipped Cream, yoghurts,Etc.
