I have had IBS for 5 months now, and recently I’ve been under tremendous stress, due to the loss of my job and having to move back home. Needless to say, this has caused a flare up of my symptoms. Despite the fact that I take the prescription drug Bentyl three times a day and follow an IBS diet, I still wake up every morning with abdominal cramps, gas and loose stools. Why is this happening, and how can I get relief?

I am adopting a 4 month old puppy and I know the stress of going to a new home could possibly cause diarrhea (that and I will also be slowly switching her food) … does anyone have any tips to avoid this? Are there foods I can give her to help? Some have suggested cottage cheese … what works best? Thanks!

What are the symptoms? What are the causes, like is it food or stress? What tests are done to discover this illness or is it something in the mind? Are there any cures or treatments?

The selection of foods I can eat is becoming smaller and smaller. It has gotten so bad, that I will sometimes fast a few days to avoid later consequences, or just to give my stomach time to settle down. What is the longest you’ve gone without eating just because you wanted to avoid IBS flair ups? Water only? Each time I’ve visit the Gastrointernest, he just tells me to avoid certain foods and stress. I’m also wondering if I have an allergy to certain foods.

I’ve had IBS for 4 years and have been on Zelnorm previously. I’m at point again where I can begin a new treatment and I’m looking to hear from other IBS patients on what they use or do. I’ve read a lot about using certain homeopathic treatments (such as herbs, psychiatrists and chiropracters). Basically I want to hear what everyone else uses and how well it works for them personally.

I have IBS with severe bloating, pressure pain, constapation and diarrea all complicated by menstrual cycle and stress.

I have tried the diet and it doesn’t work at all for me.
Once again I need to point out that I tried the diet for almost a year all that it caused was major constipation to the point that I had to be hospitalized to relieve it.

Thank you for the suggestions in this area though.

I’ve been doing a little research on those colon cleansing kits and they seem like the way to go for a healthier system. I work out regularily & have begun eating better. These kits are believed to eliminate toxicity and waste from the body, reduce stress from our vital organs (liver, colon, kidneys, blood, skin, etc.) and support the rejuvenation of the immune system. This all sounds great, B U T…..EXPENSIVE!! I just wondered if anyone knew any safe home remedies that might work as well?
