Hi
I’m out of ideas. I have tried probiotics/low fodmap/fasting/ meditation
Nothing is helping and each day my bloating gets worse. I look like I’m 9mos pregnant all day everyday and it’s also uncomfortable
I don’t know what to do anymore
I can’t get in to see my naturopath anytime soon but she hasn’t been that helpful
I am dropping off a basic MD prescribed stool parasite test at the lab today
Sorry I just don’t know what to do or how to fix it
You should consider seeing a gastroenterologist.
Already have. Was useless.
Try to release emotion find someone with whom you can have a good cry. This used to work for me when zi had a good psychotherapist, and an IBS attack actually went away. but she retired snd with my current one i seem unable to do this. So I’m in the same boat as you. Tried everything. Sometimes a beer makes me feel a bit better.
Bloating can be a symptom of so many problems. Do you have any other symptoms? Have you had any other tests?
Hi. I to have suffered for years. I am not cured but no what triggers my bloating and pain to the point were it has consumed my life. I have a lactous intolerance. So milk from cow's. A part from the obvious it also includes Cakes Chocolate pasta pastries. I have spoken with a number of my family and friends who have suffered and have been really surprised to how many of them suffer at varying degrees with IBS. A number of them have withdrawn from consuming milk and products with it in and they to now have some control over their symptoms.I have become a vegan as this has really helped me. I truly believe most people from Asian and African backgrounds should avoid milk.
Hope you feel better soon.
I don’t have dairy/corn/soy/gluten/coffee already
It sounds like intolerances, have you gone back to basics eating just plain rice for three days see if it helps? If it does add one food for three days see if it is still good then add something else, if once you add something you feel ill stop that item for three days before trying something else and write down what affects you. One of the worst things for me is drinking tap water, it affects me terribly, I have not been able to have cows milk for 30 years so use soya, no alliums at all they bloat you as do ant food with a husk like baked beans peas ect
I’ve been where you are right now on a couple of occasions and it’s hell. Please call your doctors and ask for an emergency appointment. I ended up calling my GP last August in floods of tears voicing how I was feeling due to my symptoms (painful IBS d with very little warning left me too scared to leave home) and she referred me for cbt therapy and arranged a prescription of Amitriptyline (it’s meant to help with IBS d). The counseling and medication definitely helped, though I’m currently going through a flare up as I’ve a fair bit of stress in my life right now so have had days where I feel like you.
Any time you want to chat dm me x
Getting ultra sound and seeing her next week
if you are suicidal please call the emergency services right now. Then try to be kinder to yourself. You will fix this in time. This is a Uk charity but perhaps some info based on latest science can help ... gutscharity.org.uk/
Hello, we all feel for you, as many of us have felt the same way, you will definitely find a way to ease your symptoms I promise ♥️ the posts above are so very helpful x
Oh goodness, thats sounds awful. Have you tried Floradix intestcare? I was reluctant to try this but it really has been extremely helpful for my IBS, I was reading the reviews and people with IBS said it was a god send and I agree
Best wishes

We’re you buty this plz
I buy it either from Holland and Barret or from Amazon
Is that IBS-C or IBS-D please? I have chronic IBS-C and struggling to find anything which really works.
Wonderwall3 do a search on "Thiamine Deficiency - A Potential Cause of SIBO and other Gut Dysfunction?" I encourage you to see how it applies to IBS-C. You can further discuss your findings with your health care professional.
For me it's more IBS-D but it may still work with C, I was so pleased with it, even reduced the bloating
Need to add this link to go with the SIBO article I referenced. Also, do a search on other health conditions in your family with thiamine. My wife has a non IBS health condition yet thiamine deficiency is the common denominator. Turns out unless thiamine is activated by adequate magnesium it, like vitamin D, does not become bioactive. Always consult your health care professional before using any supplement.
This is very interesting, as I suffer from fibromyalgia as well as IBS-C and reflux......when I get into bed at night, I can feel palpitations, which are probably from my vagus nerve voicing its unhappiness! Thank you. I will research.
I had something very similar to you. After various tests by my gastroenterologist nothing was found to be wrong with me. What worked for me in the end was a combination of regular colonic irrigation, the probiotic sacrimites boulardii and Dr Morses gut renew herbs. I have to be careful with my diet still but the awful 24/7 bloating has gone.
I empathise. Please don't give up hope. Please talk to someone and let them know how you are feeling.Samaritans - 116 123 and Calm are on 0800 58 58 58.
Did you try a probiotic called s boulardii, . . . just wondering ?
Each person has his/her own underlying biochemical pathology, which will therefore respond to interventions specifically affecting those !

No where do I get that. ?
Its most readily available in this Galaxy on one tiny planet, orbiting its sun at ~8.5 light mins (~93mlln miles) - one further out from Venus.
If you get out as far as Mars, you'll have gone too far, . . . so backtrack a little. Here's one small identifying picture we have of it: 🌎 - hope that's enough for yr navigation systems to get you there !
Be careful though, its most technologically advanced-seeming race remains quite primitive - & continues to lack the sensibilities to caretake their quite beautiful, fragile watery world. This race still does not realise that there the mice, followed by the dolphins are really in charge !
Once there, it should be possible to inconspicuously search their www network to find suppliers of s boulardii in yr locality of their globe. It will also be possible to look up the 50+ yr history of this probiotic's use on this world, where it was initially found on the skins of lychees, their records state. It is now cultured in their pharmaceutical plants, filled into capsules, bottled & may be bought with local currency in their larger chemists or pharmacies.
Visitors are advised to remain incognito, as this primitive human race has not yet evolved enough to make First Contact advisable !
This info dear reader, is brought to you from the latest edition of The Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy, who's first author D Adams, we congratulate for his splendid endeavours !

Have you bee tested for SIBO? If not ask for this test. It is a breath test. I did have SIBO and was miserable. The treatment is. a month of antibiotics and then back to the Fodmap diet with the help of a dietician.
. . . posts . . . actually get read ? ! ! 😸 😹 😏 - Hmmm - good to know above two were ! Know s bolardii ???
Have a 🎁 . . . this Day: Robynne Chutkan's "The Microbiome Solution" . . . which may contain some useful info, . . . SIBO & gut-related !!!
Antibiotics -❌ ❌ ❌ ( - or with huge cautions !) 😕 😱 😱 - she'd say !
