Strange feeling

[Hicking]

Hi guys just a quickie.

I have had IBS for many years but has got worse over the last year.

I keep experiencing the normal spasms but now and then i get a real strange movement almost like a baby kicking inside, obviously only you ladies would understand that.

Like a real prominant spasm.

Any input ?

Hi there, thats how I felt many years ago, it was the most odd feeling, I didn't connect it to ibs at all, so off I went for a scan, and nothing was found, fast forward 10years I can't even remember the last one I felt, I now believe it's all part of ibs, my gut felt very angry at that time, but I'm in a much less stressful situation now which I think does the trick, hope this helps , all the best.

Hi!

Yes know where you are coming from. Thirty years ago when IBS 1st came into my life I had spasms which can only be described as a ferret running along my gut. Like Sunshineme777 after I had a barium scan which was clear that feeling disappeared, I think in my case anxiety got the better of me at the time.

If it's like a heart beat, pulse etc what you mean it may be magnesium deficiency, I had leg cramp, sciatica and other symptoms to from magnesium deficiency

Yea i get you , i have been taking mag supplements but not sure if they are giving me diarrhea , nothing is easy is it x

[Hicking in reply to Hicking]

Just to say i to am suffering with siatica and terrible leg cramps at the mo ,so you could be right.

Can i ask did you also have leg stiffness and pain ?

I have never had siatica before, can it really cause all this ?

Thanks in advance x

Certain magnesium supps do that to some people, try different ones, best way is to eat more foods high in magnesium .

Problem is people have to really work out why they have deficiencies in the first place.

Low magnesium can be as simple as lack of foods containing magnesium.

Or other reasons are calcium supplements, processed foods/pop, otc meds, stress, etc

Mine was from poor absorption of foods due to a number of intolerances & lack of digestive enzymes.

When you say...

I mean i have always had the strange spasms and gurgling popping sounds

That again can be from poor absorption of food.

From lack of chewing food, or food intolerances, or sibo or lack of digested enzymes etc

Some like myself can have 3 out of 4 of them root causes I listed.

Ibs is all about finding every root cause and addressing them at the same time or in order they need to be.

Also I actually had to take a high quality magnesium supplements to start with as my deficiency was seriously bad, I found I had to take mine with food or it would cause symptoms. (But only foods i knew (from testing( that i definitely wasnt intolerant to)

Ok thanku so much for your help , i am due to see gastro but thats not till the end of March , i will raise all this .

Can Sibo make you feel poorly ? and make your stools smell , i mean i know all stools smell, but a strange specific smell.
