are you on any medication for it?
you can get drugs to help with nausea, to help with the pain and spasms, and to help with the diarrhea.
although it's worth noting that some of the drugs can aggravate other symptoms. like the anti-nausea drugs can give you diarrhea, and anti-diarrhea drugs can make you nauseous.
it's usually better to find out what triggers your attacks, and avoid it.
Yes, and also red meat and excessive amounts of fibre.
But like I said, if you've suddenly got new symptoms which you haven't had before, and you can't pinpoint a specific thing which has caused them then a trip to the doctor might be a good idea.
Then go to that doctor, explain your problem and see what happens, they probably wont even ask you why you came to them and not your norm. But if they do then explain your concerns.
1. A long course of Anitbiotics can cause all sorts of problems cos they kill the bacteria in your digestive system which helps you digest food.
2. Think Caveman
Our bodies are basically the same as they were hundreds of years ago but our diets are totally different.
And even if you're eating like a cave man, i.e.e lots of meat etc, gods know what they are pumpig ito these animals these dys to make them produce more milk and add more meat on them.
Having spent uch time in Africa you hardly her of IBS and problem like this .. I think part of the reason is they don't have the resources and technology to screw up the food chain so badly so the food is more natural.
oh my friend had the very same problem and she was rally sick all the time. she just had her gall bladder out last friday so hopefully she will be fine when she recovers.
I gave up on going the doc's, it was a waste of time. I'd already tried colofac and when i told my doc this she said " well let's just try it again". I think the problem is that nobody really knows why it happens or what really triggers it so i suppose the docs do what they can.
I control mine pretty well now through diet. Found exercise really helped as well.
