Need some love/prayers...Could be TMI

I dont have any advie Lauren but, I have hugs and Im sorry you are going through this.

My only advise is to avoid stress and stick to a very plain binding diet. Like the BRAT diet. Mine acts up from stress. I am sorry hope you feel better soon

I dont have IBS and not sure exactly what helps or cures it, but first

Second, I have noticed that after the wedding my body has not been the same at all. I am really tired, nauseaus, and my body is just off in general (no not preggo ). Maybe its the lack of stress now that all the wedding plans are done? I dunno. My cousin said she had gotten really really sick after her wedding and she thinks its your bodys way of trying to adjust to not having all that stress anymore. My advice, just try and relax. Give your body time to get back to normal and you will be ok.

I am under orders from DH to relax tonight since I am feeling really bad today. He said he would clean and cook tonight so I am off tonight. I hope this whole relaxing thing works!

Awww, IBS *****!! I have been plagued with stomach issues my whole life, and I feel your pain, especailly when you are not at home. When it is bad I take a perscription hyosycamine and I try to take acidophoulis daily. Try to eat binding carby low to no acid foods. Try to rest and relax now that you are home. I know for me the stress of knowing everyone is out having fun and I am stuck (especially not in my own home) with a belly ache makes it a million times worse. Drink lots and lots of water too. I really hope you feel better, I truely know how you feel!!

That sux. A girl I knew had IBS (she used to refer to her episodes as 'rumble tumbles' lol-poor thing)

Apparently, after she got pregnant, it stopped....

Hi darling-

Read this article- maybe it will help. Hope it does <3

(it talks about the charcoal pills too :) )

I hope you feel better Lauren

I hope you feel better..

Sending you some love Lauren!!

First I hope you feel better...

I have had this for the last 6 years and its HORRENDOUS...I'm constantly scoping bathrooms whereever I am, I won't go to bars that aren't poo friendly. LOL

That being said, I know theres certain stuff that bothers me, ESP when I don't drink enough water...but fried food is enough to take me out in about 5 minutes. Try eating a banana everyday too for 'binding'

Honestly, you're going to think this is weird, but I feel that alot of my IBS is caused by anxiety...I know that when I take xanax on my bad days my belly doesn't hurt...I don't know you personally so not sure if you're anxious like I am...

Hope this helps! FM me if you want...I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

Do you do what I do? Go to leave the house and then run away with the keys still in your hand? LOL

I promise you the xanax will help. On a brighter note IBS keeps me skinny bc I immediately poo out everything I eat. My brothers are always like 'there is NO WAY that food can move thru you that fast!' hahha

lol i was finally on the right track as far as being happy with my weight but now i have to eat so much rice and carbs to get things settled that i am afraid im gaining..this is all part of the issue!

aww i am so sorry!!! hopefully your doctor will have some kind of magic pill!! but in the meantime.....

Awwww hugs! Let me know if there is anything I can do.

[They should make a smiley with chicken soup for when people are sick!]

I have IBS as well.

God honest truth- you know what cured it? Getting off Atkins. I was on Atkins for so many years. My belly was all effed up and since I got married, I eat more carbs. Healthy carbs but still- made a huge difference.

I hope you figure out what is causing it and that you feel better soon.

I work in GI, have you tried Levsin? Its an anti-spasmodic.
Works very well for IBS.
