is it good or bad??….do you loose weight or not or wat is it?

i dont think i have irritable bowel,but i get stomach aches on a normal basis,like every other day.i gotta chug a bottle of pepto to stop it.

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS, I went to the doctor complaining of groin pain and abdomen pain, I then had an x-ray. He said he could not find anything and I had allot of gas, my mother has IBS which also gave him the idea of IBS, and that is why I have pain in my groin also, could my IBS also cause pain in my testicles and penis do to gas pressure?

I have had a "nervous stomach" for a couple of days now and flatulence. How do I know if this is a stomach virus that will pass or if I have irritiable bowel syndrome, or what??

I’m 11 weeks pregnant and for the past 2 weeks I have been having terrible stomach pains and diarrhea nearly every time I eat. I can’t relate it to any particular type of food and on rare occasions it doesn’t happen at all. Did anyone else have this?

Some people say it’s regular constipation, some say it’s regular diarrhea, some say its constipation that comes and goes, some say it’s diarrhea that comes and goes, some say it alternates between the two, some say its BOTH at the same time.. like bowel movements that start hard and then get softer and then get runny toward the end…
I’m really confused.. what ARE the symptoms of IBS?

Now i know citalopram is usually used to treat depression but i have been given it to treat ibs. Does anyone know if this is true?

i went in to donate plasma and they asked if i had diarrhea regularly. i do have it semi regularly so i went and got a doctor to check it out. he just said (after a stool sample etc.) that i just have slight IBS. the plasma center then said i couldn’t give… why is this?

I have Crohns disease and just got a letter for jury duty. Do you think its a valid medical excuse? But I don’t want it to seem like I’m using my condition to get out of it. I just really don’t think I’d be able to sit for that long in a court room if chosen.

I have IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) and Gastritis and I’ve been getting headaches a lot , is there any pain medications that will get rid of my headache but not harm my stomach so much?

Can anyone think of a thesis statement for Irritable bowel Sydnrome

I feel that I suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome that leads to continuous constipation, the doctors said that there is no cure for me and this illness will stay with me forever. Can anyone tell me plz if there is something to decrease the illness symptoms?
Thanks in advance

I feel like I am on a pooping schedule. If I eat a big meal, I have to poop about 10 minutes after, like clockwork. Other than that, I dont really have a problem with my bowels and my stomach doesnt hurt a lot or anything. I just poop a lot and when I eat heavy, always 10 minutes after, I have to go. Could this be irritable bowel or something else?

I would like to wake up one day in my life where the day is about me and not my digestive system.

This girl is really hot but she says she has a lot of problems and sometimes she is messy and hard to be around. Is it worth going out with her anyway? Or is it embarrassing?

What are some things i can take or do to help the symptoms. Also, does hypnotherapy work?

I’m having so many attacks, and usually I can cure them with valuum or painkillers, but since I’m pregnant I was wondering if there are any remedies anyone has tried that have worked… serious answers only please.

I am a relatively healthy 19 year old female. It seems like I have most all of the symptoms of IBS on a somewhat regular basis but I have read in several places that to have it you have to be over 50. Well, I am considering going to my Doctor but just want to make sure I’m not overreacting first.

What is the cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and is it genetic?
