Thanks, I have also suffered with IBS since my kids were little. The doctors didn't know what it was at that time. Hoping to get help from the Rheumatologist for my Scleroderma next month. It is always something.

Oooh! That word IBS used to be painful until I learned how to control IT instead of IT controlling me. Did you ever hear of the Low Fodmap diet? It really truly gives relief like you can't imagine!no more bloated days that make you feel sluggish, no more nights of walking around the property, pain is gone, you feel energized! It's as simple as figuring out which sugars digest in the small intestine, which digest in the large intestine, You stick with those that digest in the small intestine. The ones in the large intestine ferment and give you that gas that gets trapped inside of you and causes all those symptoms. Look it up on the internet. It takes a lot of will power...but if you are desperate enough you can do it.

I finally learned to take laxatives regularly, so I don't get backed up. The pain used to be so bad , it would make me sweat. Not as bad now that I use Senna.

Morning Old folks
IBS is Irritable or Idiopathic bowel Syndrome they do not know why..
Yup has had me in clutches since Graves crept in like 8 years ago now..
Ra is horrible for anyone .. They now know lyme is not much better ..
Chicka They check my blood every quarter I hope your damage is minimal

I figure is I stay away from the DR. I will not know if I have a bad type of arthritis or not!

I know, I am going to make an appointment next week...

When they talk about sugars, it's all sugars including fruits, veggies, grain and added sugar. The diet is really strict at first but then you keep adding foods back into your diet one by one and you will learn what you can tolerate. It also gives your gut time to rest. I was on meds from Canada (not US approved) till it didn't work. My intestines stopped moving (no bms) & I can't take just any meds anymore. The diet,enzymes& probitics got me through. And unimaginable tests,stomach therapy.

Carbs turn into sugars and that's what the diet is bout...all sugars. I used to think meat made me sick. Now I know it's the high fructose sugar in barbecue sauce...sauces are killers to IBS. Check the sugars in bologna-white kind of sugar is used?
