How was your stomach the morning of your wedding? Lately my stomach (IBS) has been bad- it's made me late for things & is becoming an obstacle again. I think my nerves are contributing to it. I just don't want my day to be ruined. Any advice?

Re: Weird ? but... Newlyweds w/ IBS - ?
Im not a newlywed but I have IBS as well. I was wondering how I will be on my day. I mean I want to eat, but at the same time I dont want to have issues! My doctor prescribed a pill for it but it says not to combine with alcohol and that it causes drowsiness. Maybe I will just pop an Immodium just in case

That is one thing that I worry about also. I haven't been diagnosed with IBS because I stopped going for all the testing they were putting me through but I have the worst stomach. I doubt I will be able to eat a thing that day. I will be way to scared. Plus when I am nervous my stomach automatically hurts. I just pray I'll be ok.

Oh my god. I thought I was the only one. I am not eating the day before at all - just small portions. I also am going to be taking Imodium. I have the worst stomach also and I am a very nervous person. My mom said 'we're gonna have to make you wear Depends'. She is nuts!!!

I have the same problem with my stomache and nerves. But the morining of the wedding I didn't have one problem. You are so pre-occupied iwth everything that you don't even have time to be nervous. I also ate my dinner at the reception, but the only thing I didn't eat was the dessert. So don't worry girls you will all be fine.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Good luck girls... My Mom had this severe... I know what you're going through...not first hand but through her. I'll say a prayer for each and every one of you.

Oh my god I thought I was the only one. It's been so bad the last month but I know it has to do with the wedding and since it's getting so close. I'm just nervous for the morning on.

Ok I have this and really BAD!!! the night before we had our rehearsal dinner- well I was feeling pretty good during the day so I decided to eat some salad- yes - salad and dressing gets me sick- so lets just say I was on the bowl all night and really nervous for the wedding- that morning I refused to take immodium- it bloats me and then I cant go for like a week and the pill my doc prescribed- you cant drink- so I drank 8 bottles of 16 oz water in 2 hours time- and yes I had to keep running to pee as my hairdresser was doing my hair but by noon I was ok - NOW you HAVE to do this at least 8 hours before the ceremony or you will be running to pee during your ceremony- and I ate a plain bagel- it got me through the day and I was sooooooooo happy- on the altar my nerves were going bonkers I couldnt look up when the priest was saying his speech. I just kept looking at the restroom sign ( to the side of the altar) and kept saying tomyself- dont you dare embarrass yourself , I meditated to keep me calm, and tried to listen to my ceremony at the same time- it was really hard. Once you are at your hall and the ceremony is over you will be so busy you wont have time to think about it- my other problem too was it was sooo hard just to pee- so I didnt eat much at all at dinner- I was afraid of having to run and umm stain my dress!!!! but it turned out ok- so now if I could only do that all the time- control it- I wish

I have IBS also. It always it worse around big events and this is the biggest one. I am just going to try to keep calm and hope for the best, and make sure I have plenty of immodium, pepto, tums, and everything else with me just in case

We once had a thread on this... a lot of girls have it and were worried about their stomach's the day of the wedding. I'll see if I can find it!

Ok, I found the thread but I'm LIW challenged when inserting the thread into a post... it's on NWR, maybe someone can do it for me.
You all are not alone - I have IBS too. My doctor also prescribed a pill for me - I was curious what other prescriptions you all have tried for IBS? I've actually heard that the best treatment for it is hypnotherapy. Don't think I'm crazy but I might try it!

Please let us know if you do try the hypnotherapy...I have UC, which is a bit too serious to have that work, but my sister has IBS and she has the tapes but hasn't gotten around to using them. She needs some convincing!
I find that when situations are really overwhelming, my mind takes over my body and I feel fine...until it's all over. Personally, I'm more worried about my honeymoon!

I will definitely let you all know if I take the hypnotherapy and whether it helped or not. I'm sure we are all going to be just fine on our big days

Not to be gross, but I made sure my dress has a zipper instead of a corset back so i can get out of quick enough to get to the potty. You aren't alone!

Re: Weird ? but... Newlyweds w/ IBS - ?
Not weird at all! So nice to see I'm not alone!!! (but I'm very sorry any of us have to deal with this, let alone think about it) Even when I think I am 'calm' my stomach lets me know otherwise. It basically ties up in a knot and there is NO movement whatsoever, if you know what I mean. I'm really worried about this for the week before the wedding. I try to exercise regularly (which helps), but seriously, it really interferes sometimes!!!!!!!!! Any suggestions VERY welcome. So sad. I'm 30 and take Citrucel everyday
