I have irritable bowel syndrome
 

I can't go anywhere without knowing there is a bathroom there first. I carry around those toilet seat covers with me, because if my stomach doesn't like something I shit all over.

True story. I have IBS and it sucks.

:(

Maybe Headless has a few good treatment ideas?

At just 21 years old?

Fuck dude at 50 you'll need to have a potty-on-wheels trail behind you for the walk from the kitchen to the den.

Sucks, hope they come up with some treatment for you besides just the "diet" nonsense.

Geez, sorry to hear that. I would go nuts!

some people have small penises,some people have ibs

now, if i worked for an ibs pill supply, id send YOU a free sample

heh, I had post infectious IBS after I got poisoned by an e. coli and cholera vaccine... (okay.. technically an allergic reaction)
seriously, try taking something called bio k+

Or pick up something similar that has Lb. acidophilus & Lb. casei in it...
it helped so much...

dude

get some diapers

haha I don't think he wants to wear a diaper around.

I hope that's not a side effect of fastsize...

go get hold of some adult diapers man.. !

cut out allmilk products. I bet you'll shit normally then

Whoa. :helpme

Don't sneeze or laugh real hard, could be messy.

Few people live their life in perfect health. Always remember that some people have it much worse.

Oh man that's shitty. Pun intended. Seriously, sorry to hear. They have treatments for you, you'll be alright. Be glad it's not 1732.

And here I was thinking that you had irritable poster syndrome. :GFYBand

Any particular reason why you felt compelled to share this with the gfy community?

IBS is just something doctors say you have when they can't figure out what is really wrong with you.

Nope. :thumbsup

Sorry to hear.

My Ex wife had it, and I know it can be tuff to live with. Have you seen a doctor? She used to take a med, a powder mixed with water that helped a lot.

what part of victoria you in?... oak bay woot!!

I'm in Oak Bay also.

I have IBS and a small penis.

a while ago I heard about an IBS convention to help comfort people with IBS and too show them that there are many others like them. The whole time I was thinking, "Damn a convention with 5,000 people that have to take shits all the time, that could get messy". :1orglaugh

my g/f brother had ibs.. he got scoped have you gone that far?, also bacteria can build up in your anus causing ibs like symptoms; they gave me massive doses metronidazole. From what i understand everyone has these bitches in the anus but it bothers some depending on what food they take in.

Beers soon dude..

Try Gripe Water. It's what you give babies with colic and it works pretty good.

Change your diet and eliminate foods that cause digestive problems. Sugar, red meat, caffeine, booze, nuts, corn.

maybee you are just lactose intolerant. Some foods fuck me up really nice.

damn sucks man, i know a few people with it, not fun.

could be related to your stress level... take a vaction, relax, or get yourself on track. That might help.

About 8 years ago I had major stomach problems. I don't even want to go into detail. Anyway, I stopped having dairy products and the symptoms went away. I was tested for lactose intolerance but the tests said I was fine. So I have no idea what was really wrong with me, but kicking dairy really helped. I haven't had a glass of milk since and I'm very picky about cheese. I'll eat pizza, thats about it.

That's pretty shitty.

My mother has the same thing..I see what she goes through and the worse thing there isn't anything the doctors can do

Well, you are in good company. The lead guitarist of Pearl Jam and yours truly share the malady.

I am curious that you posted it here, as it is a subject best dealt with by mature people, and you're not going to find a lot of them on this board.

The real problem comes not from IBS itself, but from its effect on other agues. For example, I had an old friend from college who had cancer. Combine that with IBS, and you've got little resistence for fighting off other ailments. I had another friend who lost her mother to IBS in and of itself. Listen to your doctors, try not to let it get out of hand. Last thing you need is for the doctor to cut out your asshole when you turn 50 and give you a bag to poop in.

cut out the dairy, throw in some lactaid for the foods you cant handle. works for me

That's too frustrating indeed, though you should still be grateful it's not incontinence you are suffering.

My cat died of it. Sorry to hear about that dude!

This is not a lactose problem. The doctors insisted that's what it was for years. I cut it out and VOILA... it's still here.

From what my doctors tell me, IBS is not a disease, but a symptom of another problem (much like epilepsy, for example; many things can cause it.)

In some cases, nerves (I think that's what gets me;) or being overweight (ditto;) lactose intolerance; celiac's disease (sp?); or a # of other things. So, the problem the doctor has is first figuring out what irritates you.

then it is something else. you gotta find out what it is.

there are many ppl alergic to wheat and dont know it.

wheat causes the same issue for it for me. if i go extreme and eat plants and nuts for two days i will have normal stool, which is weird.

*edit* the reason is it extreme is because almost every food product has wheat it in. from the breading on my chicken fingers to the muffin i would like to eat, it is everywhere.

i have it too heh, no fun thats for sure, i dont have a severe case and i know red meat sets me off the worst so i dont eat that away from home or unless i am headed right home
