I have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and suspect it is accompanied by irritable bowel syndrome. I have tried laxatives and enema for the IBS, but afterwards I still feel constipated, although I do evacuate…The IC and IBS often coincide and are worst during ovulation in my monthly cycle, so I think my main culprit is hormonal fluctuations…Does anybody have suggestions on this one?

I need to know for a research document i am creating. I need to know if wine improves IBS or not and same for Acid reflux and why. Thank you very much!

Wondering what others are taking for the condition Irritable Bowel Syndrom. Perscription or other.

If a person has IBS what foods should he or she eat and which should he or she stay away from?

I’m currently taking Bentyl 20mg. 4 times a day, but when I stop it comes back with vengeance. The reason I stop because I feel better, but isn’t a lot of pills to take….

I know that this is kind of a gross question, but I’m just curious because I think I have it and I’m going to the doctor to see and I just want to know and be prepared for it…

The pain is killing me, makes me feel sick, don´t enjoy life at all now I have this complaint, has anyone out there any advice on how to cope with it.
Doctors say there is no cure, and as I take alot of medication for other problems they say there is not much that can be done.

I have been diagnosed with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) because of this I am in a lot of pain most times and medications prescribed by the doctors are ineffective. It doesn’t seem to have a pattern on what effect me. I mean are there certain food groups I should stay away from or embrace? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

or even abdominal cramping?

I don’t have it but I would like to know what it is thanks

I have recently been diagnosed with IBS. My doctor thinks this is why I get nauseated easily, especially when I’m under stress. But someone (a nurse) told me she had IBS for 40 years, and never experienced nausea with it. On IBS websites, it only mentions diarrhea and constipation, and pain, not nausea. What is the truth?

Do you find it to be funny as well?

I know that eating a diet high in fiber helps. But are there any other ways that I can help my symptoms? I don’t necessarily have any trigger foods because I’ll get the stomach cramps/diarrhea regardless of what I eat or whether I eat and everything seems to feel the same. So if you have any tips to deal with it, then please share.

Has anyone else got the two together? I sometimes cant go to the toilet for days. Now Ive just recently started taking medication for the Ulcerative colitis but it seems to only make things worse. The other night I had constant stomach ache but didn’t go to the toilet. Now when I eat I simply feel sick. I have been to the toilet but just a bit each time. What should I do. The doc said I should just caryr on on the meds and everything should get better but this is painful

Should she just say excuse me every time she cuts the cheese? Or maybe have her sit near an open window? Please help!

It usually affects him in the mornings and we know its probably to do with the stuff he eats on the previous day… I was just wondering what foods are most likely to do him harm.

Sometimes I’ll be out at the store, and diarrhea spasms hit me. I have had accidents on several occasions. How can I avoid this? Is there some butt-cheek strengthening exercises I can do?

Also, which one is made worse by certain foods?

I try to eat gentle foods, but my stomach (right in the middle, over my navel area) hurts every day of my life. It has gradually gotten worse over the last 6 months. The Dr. tried me on Nexium which only helped minimally.
