Anyone have IBS?

Question

I have been dealing with digestive issues for probably about a year now and I'm finally going to see a doctor about it in a few days to figure out what might be going on. I did some research and it kind of sounds like maybe I have IBS. For any of you out there who have it, what are some things you stay away from to help keep the digestive pain away? Any supplements you take that help?

Answer

Yes me and my father have ibs and we drank aloe drinks daily for months and it clears it up for us (dad for good, me for a year or two)

Answer

Hi! I have IBS and avoid acidic foods (citrus, tomatoes, coffee, etc), as well as fried foods and processed foods. Try a high fiber diet - fruits and veggies will be great to keep a calm tummy.

Answer

I agree that keeping a diary of what you eat and when and what symptoms you have will help you. I have IBS, was diagnosed 6 years ago. Personally my biggest trigger foods are dairy, eggs and gluten. Beans and gaseous vegetables are hard too if I eat too many. Best of luck to you!

Answer

Definitely keep a good diary and figure out what foods upset your stomach

Answer

I have IBS too. Peppermint oil capsules have helped me with pain, and digestive enzymes have helped the severity of my bouts. Good luck!

Answer

Yeah I was diagnosed with that, but I don't think it's a real diagnosis. Like, there has to be underlying issues that are understood imo. It akso turns out I had multiple food sensitivities later on. 
I have always had stomach issues, the entire digestive tract, it's all fucked. 
I wish I knew the exact reasons why! 
Digestive systems are so complicated!
Good luck! Don't give up! Keep trying to get help!
I recommend trying turmeric in your daily diet, and yogurt if possible, I eat dairy free yogurt, even just a spoonful makes a difference for me. And also drinking water first thing in the morning makes a big difference for me, at least- hydration actually helps.
But seriously, I just had diarrhea for 2 months straight and randomly, constipation that wasn't hormonal as far as I can tell. I don't understand my guts 🙃 I pretty much eat the same all the time. I'm just eating more, but I've been doing it for 3 wks, and only now are my guts deciding to flip the script. I don't really get why eating more would suddenly mean pooping less. 
But I've got every stomach life hack in the book, so I'm managing well. 
For me, this all is somehow feeling well & much better than usual 🙃

Answer

VSL #3 probiotic has helped me and other people I’ve recommended it too so much! I recommend taking 1 pill a day 😊
