I’m so down and just hearing someone who suffers makes me feel less alone.

[@kaciwalter5834]

Does anyone else get pain that comes in waves? One minute you feel fine and then the pain comes back worse

[@JackieeBabehh]

Yes 😔

[@rexncaesar345]

yes

[@kinjalkapil2010]

Ye

[@amandanena4114]

So glad I found this channel. IBS has been sooo stressful for me. It interferes with so much of my life. I feel like I must be near a toilet at all times 😔 it’s gotten so bad that I don’t like being in the car for long periods of time due to not having quick access to a toilet if I need it (embarrassing) and it messes with my ability to socialize because of the urgency. I also experience the mucus symptom.

[@leapingjoseph8462]

Amanda Nena, have you ever not made it to the bathroom on time?

[@clipstwitchalgomas76]

Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "signs and symptoms of ibs" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Mackorny Defeat IBS Blueprint - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got great success with it

[@AndreaVidovicBugojno]

GIRL I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH OMG 😭😭

[@lausss]

Me completely. I need to take imodium before a trip to make me feel safer. Hate it

[@danielapaunova7043]

I am in a such phase right now …I can’t drive or be in a car even for a 15 min., because my brain gives a signal ,that I have to go to a toilet immediately. I can’t fly or be in a public transport.. 😞

[@Alesha3791]

Sometimes when I’m having cramps and stomach pain even if I don’t have to poo if I just go and pee it helps a bit.

[@francihebler8754]

Thanks for this video! Made me realise I'm not as alone as I thought.

[@AnnWhytesGlutenFreeRecipes]

Bloating and cramps, yes, I can relate.

[@CupCakeDelicious1]

Anyone else experience nausea with IBS also???

[@devadasi1]

Yes. That was my first chronic symptom

[@CupCakeDelicious1]

The worst! Thanks for replying!

[@jasminewhite4238]

Yes

[@samalam98]

Yep, my bloating gets so bad that it causes intense nausia and then once enough gas builds in my stomach I essentially throw up/vomit the massive amount of air and feel fine again for about 10 minutes until the process repeats. Or I'm just plagued with tiny burps every couple of seconds until a few hours have passed and I've released all the gas😣

[@slseitzgerman]

YES!!

[@austynries]

Thank you so much for sharing. It’s such an embarrassing and painful condition, but it’s so nice to know we aren’t alone.

[@ashleighwestervelt4407]

I thought I was weird when I felt so relieved after going to the bathroom. I can’t begin to express how the videos of yours I have found really have made me feel not alone. I have not been diagnosed, I am currently in the process of figuring out what’s going on in there but I can relate with you on ever single thing you speak on mentally and physically. Thank you ❤️

[@Mystomach]

Me to. I’m getting an MRCP to discount my pancreas but wanting to know if people experience yellow or change of colour to stool

[@sammicollette]

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful and reassuring. Thank you for being so open and honest.

[@bzylizzy]

Thank you so much for posting this, it's like your reading off my own symptoms, appreciate you being so honest.

[@katiahalsey6091]

This is so me!!! Have my drs appointment on Friday so will see… thanks Becky for this - you are amazing ❤

[@narrowboatview9071]

Thank you for your openness on this. You have helped me better understand my own IBS. Cheers

[@jasmine_chillyfeet8557]

Oh gosh I feel the need to go for a wee all the time! Especially when mega bloated. I call them ghost wees XD

[@parkerenglish9773]

Watching these kind of videos will help you ? Ask this question to yourself. Answer is "No". IBS can be cured I had been suffering from this problem for 6 years but now i have cured myself 100%. you can also get rid of this problem. Don't spend even a single dollar in joining any stupid programs and all. Dont be a spectator here. I can help you without charging anything, feel free to contact me on instagram "parker_1989_"

[@jessicaraewood5016]

Yes! I tell people I feel as if a watermelon is sitting inside of my guts just trying to fall out of me, an intense pressure and urge to pee or number 2 all the time!

[@nuriqbal5163]

I call it shit attack

[@azizaahmad9249]

Try probiotics n evening primrose oil. It helps a lot

[@rishabhrajput._]

@@jessicaraewood5016 IBS is easily curable through ayurveda(ancient methods for treating various disease in India) If you want to cure ibs you have to take following medicine for aprox 4-6 month with strict diet and yoga. but have no idea these medicine is available in your country but you can get these medicine from India if you have any friend or relative. You must have to check your Navel Displacement(ND) bc ND also have same symptoms and doctor have no test to diagnose it. - Bilvadi churan Or belgiri churan (1tabkespoon after meal morning and after dinner) -kutajghanvati(2-2 tablets after meal) -chitrakadi vati( " " " ") -kurtajharista syrup ( 4 tablespoon with equal amount of water two time after meal) it's good to cure diarrhea and you can take ishabol instant of this if you have constipation. As per ayurveda these medicine increase your digestive fire and balance your all dosha's. I was also suffer from IBS and now iam totally fine Thank you 😊

[@2toosexE]

I have every symptom but the last two. Mucus is on my stool most times. The most uncomfortable symptom for me is the gas pains and fatigue they both make my day at work very difficult. I think the fatigue is due to the many nights of disturbed and uncomfortable sleep due to gas and gas pain.

[@yougotaluvme]

I know I'm but were you diagnosed with ibs ?.

[@AnaFB9696]

I fell that also. I'm so tired.

[@Mystomach]

Have you tried a gluten free diet plus take probiotics to see if that helps? Trying to navigate this and find out

[@laurenburns4949]

So glad I found you! I'm a disabled senior and this has just changed my life! L'm afraid to leave the house, it's awful! I have them all!

[@kt493]

As someone who is going through testing for This right now I sure appreciate these videos. I also find when you go to the toilet some days over ten times it gets way easier to talk about. It becomes normal.

[@rosebudjess96]

This has just made me realise I experience every single symptom minus the last one (and the urinating one has been better in recent months just hope that lasts). I know I have ibs but never realised how many of the symptoms I've had

[@worldcrimeonlinerealitymed1547]

Wow,am I thankful for the relatability in this video and comment section. I just experienced the scariest, most painful flareup I've ever had in my life! I was so sluggish, I felt so awful and painfully bloated and gassy. It's so aggravating when people don't understand the seriousness of pain you're in because they can't "see it". It's hard...

[@Ambiii11]

All the symptoms ×100.. pee issues also the lack of poo control.. back ache fatigue and all the rest of it.. thank you for sharing your journey so openly for all of us in the same condition.. affects physical and mental health.. much love 💯🥰🥰

Me too backache and pee issues 🥲

[@brandyjaques3479]

Me too. Every symptom mentioned.

[@vikkipalombo2610]

Thank you for sharing your symptoms. I do have every one of them including the last 2.

[@kandis5576]

You are so young and sweet. Yet you are willing to talk about this embarrassing condition, and sharing what you know. It was so interesting when you said the good days can make you feel "normal". I feel that same way, but I know now it simply denial. I am much older than you, yet I am very embarrassed of this condition. Thank you making this something that can be talked about.

[@julesgarcia5854]

Hello Love, thanks to your diets tips, i am handling my mild Diverticulitis much better! I have so many of the symptoms that you mentioned. Going gluten free has helped me immensely with offensive Flatulence.

[@sharonpearce1352]

I am a grandma in Australia only 56 so a young grandma but i have been so yuk, I went into hospital with colitis IBD then also have IBS all the time, mainly constipation and mucus and so bloody bloated and so so so tired and lazy and as for the wind I hate it. When i went into hospital i lost with IBD i lost 12kg in 3 weeks and aged heaps, Thank you so much for sharing it helps SOOOOO MANY.

[@anne-mariedustin9418]

Thank You for this video. I have IBS-C (constipation). I have been this my whole life and just recently on my journey I am finding a natural way to combat it .Almost everything you talk about applies to me! My Doctor is baffled!

When comes to IBS there's no other KZbinr who gives such accurate information than Becky Excell. It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm experiencing the most painful flare-ups.

I’m about to cry watching this. I suffer with all the common and other symptoms. I’ve almost passed out several times and once been rushed to the hospital. I’ve made my appointment with the gastroenterologist.

Can u tell me about your passing out and this ibs? What happened next ? What was it ? And why you passed out ? Because of Ibs??????plz Reply !

I’ve been suffering for months and didn’t know why. I have all but the last one I think this video just made it make sense. Time to go see my Dr

[@littlelilly93]

I’ve just been diagnosed with IBS and I hate it. I am so miserable, we were on holiday this passed week and all I kept thinking was where’s the closet disabled bathroom as I’m overweight as well so normal sized bathrooms just don’t work for me. The pain too is awful! I can’t have my favourite drink anymore because it’s a first class ticket to crampland!

[@sarahralph-neil7137]

Just came across your channel after looking for gluten free Yorkshire pudding recipe. I have had IBS for 25years and I can relate to everything you are talking about, cramps, bloating, backache, diarrhoea/constipation,wind & the urgency to go when I am anxious or stressed (it is awful and seriously hampers any kind of social life)Its nice to hear other people having the exact same, well not nice but you get what I mean.

Yep to the mucus thing. I would think that would be a sure sign. Also I get the urge to pee a lot thinking that I have a bladder infection but no. I hope your IBS goes away.Thank you for sharing! God bless you!

[@akhoto3860]

That's what I am going through that lower back pain that shoots down through my legs made me think that it's a uti .I don't know Im just so hopeless and tired of on and off diarrhea and constipation

[@OmerMan992]

I'm glad you talked about brain-fog, because I haven't seen it written anywhere regarding IBS (I've seen it regarding gluten intolerance and IBD I think), and that is my main issue so it drove me crazy! Do you have any reference for that so I can show my close friends that it's a real thing for IBS patients? Thank you!

[@TrevorGray4758]

Thank you🙂 I feel like I’m making some progress on learning about this condition.

[@bryleerhodes7269]

I love your videos! I can relate.

[@NomadMimi]

I feel so happy to hear you about the fatigue because it was very hard for me to understand why. And I have to say I have strong pain sometimes when my IBS is at my worst, having sexual relations. It is awful and I just want to cry all the time sometimes I don´t even have the energy to it....

[@patriciaruth2894]

Thank you for speaking so openly! I have lymphocytic colitis and yours is one of the channels I watch regularly to know I'm not alone with stomach issues. Also love your recipes because I eat gluten free. Take care!

[@angelicahoff1420]

Usually all that helps me feel better is puking, sometimes have to puke while having a poo, IBS is horrible and wouldn’t wish it on anybody. Feel better knowing others experience the same symptoms and I’m not just crazy.

[@nancyclatterbuck4070]

Hi Becky; Thanks for your videos…I get all The Symptoms except the micas. I do get so much pain and fatigue; back pain I get; never knew why…Thanks for sharing. I’ve had IBS since a young teenager; I am 63..I am going to try FoodMap. I stopped all alcohol and cigarettes 12 years ago. I have to really get my Diet Better!

[@amyweil8520]

Thank you for sharing. I definitely struggle with needing to urinate frequently.

[@divmonkey]

going to the bathroom when having really bad ibs makes me cry because how much relief i feel.

[@luke.friesen]

I have: Bloating, abdomen pain, tiredness, nausea ✅ daily Mucus, back-ache, incontinence ☑️ yes but only very rarely Problems peeing: as a male, this one was unusual to diagnose, & only came up after decades of other symptoms. The cause was actually pelvic-floor-muscle pain. My pfm was worn out from the constant tension, so because emptying my bladder uses the pfm, I experienced very painful soreness after peeing. I went to pelvic physiotherapy, learnt some stretches & keggle exercises, & I’ve been able to manage it ever since.

[@oceanacunday4694]

I want to cry I’ve been having many symptoms and I’ve been seeing a gastroenterologist, I have an appointment soon but I’m almost 100% sure I have it. Thank you for making videos and sharing your story❤️

[@macriemyoui8382]

How are you now?

[@Spirit89]

I have all the common symptoms and both get diarrhoea and constipation and ive got food intolerance as well, ive had it for over 10 years as well with the other symptoms list ive got all of them except the peeing problem.

[@annayandow2068]

I used to not eat because my tummy would hurt all the time, I cut out gluten thinking that was my problem and it kinda resolved it, but I still had bloating, cramping, and constipation. After years of going to the doctor thinking it was gluten intolerance, being told I would be fine “just eat better,” not being able to go to school because I was always in pain, I finally got diagnosed. The low FODMAP diet did wonders. Dicyclomine has saved my life when I do decide to eat foods that trigger my ibs. I’d say some days are harder than others, but I’m just glad there are others that have shared this journey.

[@gabbyfinan4754]

the incontinence has honestly been the worst and most embarrassing thing for me. it sucks when you can't go to work, or the gym, or the store for days because you're afraid of shitting yourself on accident. IBS sucks.

So true. It’s embarrassing and I just bring an extra change of clothes everywhere

I’m so happy I found your channel. I’ve had ibs since diagnosed in 2010. Had a small bowel resection in 2015. 2020 was diagnosed with crohn’s. No one ever understood the pain I was feeling or the symptoms. I’m so glad it’s a place where people can speak!!! Thank you, you have a new loyal follower!!!

[@Mystomach]

Hello I’m going through being diagnosed. Can I ask did your stool change colour? Do you have issues with pain after eating red meat? I’ve had so many tests but still struggling. I gave up gluten about five years ago. I don’t have issues with bloating or gas probably cause gluten free diet

[@danamajor1046]

@@Mystomach yes. I can not eat red meat at all. Most fats from animals I can’t eat at all. Still color changes everyday with what I eat. It gets better after a while but pain attacks are my normal

[@Mystomach]

@@danamajor1046 so sorry to hear that. I have started taking probiotics, good quality one. And it has made significant difference to me and how I feel. I'm still not eating red meat. Plus I will not eat fatty foods. Hoping that months of eating properly plus probiotics will help me

[@TheEmkat22]

Becky, I don't quite know what to say, I actually have tears!! I was diagnosed nearly 30 years ago, after my first Wedding (should have been a clue!) and was told to eat a high fibre diet, i.e; wholegrain bread, bran flakes etc. It took me a year to realise that actually made my sypmtons worse, terrible bloating etc and my GP at the time just kept prescribing medication. My symptons eased tremendously when I went on a diet and I realised it was because I was cutting out bread and cake. Fast forward to around 8 years ago. I started to do my own research and discovered the link between gluten and ibs flare ups. So I went GF, on my own, with 4 children and a husband that weren't, it was hard. Like many other's, I no longer like to socialise, especially where food is involved. Unfortunately, I am one of the minority that has ALL of the symptons. And it sucks. Bad. But having just watched your video, it was a light bulb moment. I was diagnosed with S.A.D's around the same time and I am now thinking that it was a mis-diagnosis. I never feel depressed in the Winter, I feel tired and foggy headed and just blah. Anyway, thank you Becky for making this video, my husband is now going to watch it to get an insight of what I have to deal with and have dealt with for nearly 30 years. Cxx

[@Mystomach]

I stopped gluten about five years ago but my pain was bad a few months back with change of bowel colour and trying to navigate and get diagnosed. Can you eat red meat ? I found this causes me so much pain. I’m still going through testing

[@bizzylife2140]

I enjoyed this video...it's true no 1 wants to talk about farting and pooping but it's definitely something ppl need to do and with your accent you can make the worse things sound charming

[@cbryce9243]

I was dx'd with CD many years ago, but after hearing you talk about all the symptoms of IBS, and having all but 2 of the symptoms, it might be time to talk to my dr... I just attributed it all to CD, even though I never eat gluten. Thank you for sharing something that no one ever feels comfortable talking about.

[@shortersview]

What is CD if you don’t mind me asking

[@eleanorabramson6904]

Thanks for your video. I definitely have that last symptom at this point. So depressing! I can’t even travel. 😲

[@yousef5886]

I constantly yo-yo between diarrhea and constipation - constipation is arguably worse because I remain bloated and with cramps for days until the blockage finally clears. Generally speaking, bloating is a near-constant symptom for me unfortunately, but I've found that peppermint oil capsules do help with that, as well as reducing the amount of pain I have. I'd definitely recommend to take peppermint oil on a daily basis. I also get backache and do struggle to fully empty my bladder.

[@macgina8412]

I do have the bladder problem, it‘s quit typical for hydrogen sulfide SIBO

[@jilldickson4352]

I have been hospitalised once for constipation and once for diarrhoea. But most of the time my poo is like instant whip? My doctors are not interested in my digestive issues. Loved your chat bless you. ❤️❤️

[@phalguniray7425]

I experience the 'passing mucus one' and 'feeling sick' one too😞

[@sharonrussell8230]

You sound just like me, thank you for talking about it. I do also sometimes struggle with needing to wee a lot, though that could be because with IBS you also need to drink a lot - especially if you take something like fybogel

Thank you for this video I have other symptoms but having gas while working around people is just terrible and very embarrassing 😮I started trying to figure what I was eating to cause this ( of course the pain &bloat too)😢 I found out regular yogurt and sweet potatoes were a huge part of my diet I had to say goodbye too and no gas for 2 weeks 🎉 I love yogurt but had to go for a non dairy option and it worked 🎉. The strange part of it is I can eat other dairy but at least I know . I know how hard this is so glad I’m not alone

[@sharonwolfe5210]

Hi Becky... So sorry to hear this in someone so young... This is going to sound strange --- I have a question for everyone--- Has anyone ever had the feeling like your *intestines* are nauseous? Uugh... I can pretty much check all the boxes for IBS, but have never encountered anything like "intestinal nausea" in the reading or other's experiences... Thank everyone for your time, and hopes for better days for all...

My one big tip I find manages stomach cramps is lots of fibre to bulk up your stool. Eat wholemeal bread pasta and rice not fruit or veg. Keep diet bland no spices or alcohol. Gradually reintroduce fruit and veg . I find alcohol a real no no . IBS tends to linger but I find managing it a very realistic proposition .

[@Bob-Horse]

Hey Becky. I too get IBS but I thought I had better mention, that mine is just one condition I have had for a number of years, as part of my disability of Fibromyalgia. I developed Fibromyalgia some years after a serious horse-riding accident. I was diagnosed with severe Fibromyalgia at a specialist hospital in London. I understand Fibromyalgia can vary in its severity, from mild up to severe, which I have. I get chronic pain all over my body, joints, muscles, tendons, all day every day. I also get chronic fatigue, all day every day, as well as cognitive dysfunction, including brain fog. I also get carpel tunnel syndrome. I had to give up my job and I only get about four or five hours of energy a day, to do everything, so I can barely look after myself and have to prioritise tasks. About two or three days a week I am bed-bound most of the day. I thought I would mention it as you say you have IBS and pain and fatigue, and I know Fibromyalgia affects many more woman than men. Hope this is helpful but let me know if you would like to chat about this.

[@brandyjaques3479]

I too have fibro, and IBS-C. I wasn’t sure if my fibromyalgia (20 plus years) would ever stop being a constant flare up. Then one day, it just eased up and got a little better. And then a little more and a little more. Don’t get me wrong, I still have near constant pain, and times when I can’t get off the bed or couch, but these bad times are not every day, not even every week most of the time! I alway wondered how long I could continue to work. When Covid hit, I had been only working 12-24 hours a week due to the fibro, but could no longer even do that, because they could no longer work with my accommodations That seems to be when my flare ups got better also. I think I just now realized that. However that also seems to be when the IBS symptoms got worse….. I doubt I was eating any better or healthier because I was in healthcare doing 12 hour overnight shifts in a hospital. I was also diagnosed as a celiac probably close to 15 years ago ( but am sure I had it as a young kid), but never went gluten free completely until the beginning of 2022. 9 months ago and that is when my IBS really went crazy and my symptoms got much much worse. I don’t know which came first, the IBS or the Fibro, but for me I tend to think maybe the IBS could have even though I was diagnosed with it later. We both know fibro symptoms can be horrible, not just the pain, but the brain fog, fatigue, stress, worry associated with the pain and if life can ever be NORMAL again. Eating issues from not feeling well or hurting all the time, back ache, neck joints, tendons…… etc. many of the exact same symptoms of IBS!

[@aprilanderson2390]

Literally watching this and crying because I literally thought I was crazy for the last ten years come to find out I just have ibs🤦‍♀️

[@NatashaCreatesThings]

Great video. In case this helps anyone - I’ve had ibs for about 10 years and i recently (five months) found drinking metamucil 3x a day has helped a great deal even though my ibs is ibs-D. You’d think it would make it worse but it’s really helping. Also thanks so much for sharing your symptoms, makes me feel less alone/crazy. I also have backache, joint aches and fatigue, and also some of the other associated symptoms on that list. Have worn leggings for the past three years or so - gave up on jeans because of bloating! I had some tests and colonoscopy and it’s ibs and not something else, so at least I know what I’m working with... your videos are so helpful thank you!

[@barbiemolina7729]

You should take crude olive oil. Depending on how constipated you are, take anywhere from 2-4 ounces at night, at least one hour or two after your last meal. Fiber without any chemicals or sugars is also good. No more Metamucil! Use natural medicine instead 🙌

[@theresagermain7968]

Mayo Clinic is great for diagnosing intestinal issues and some of these symptoms are pelvic floor dysfunction and slow intestinal transit. It’s not uncommon but hard to diagnose have to go to a specialist

[@lanoralum4964]

I have all of these symptoms x100. I also feel run down, like I’m about to come down with a cold. I also have sudden flushed feelings when my stomach decides it doesn’t like the plain meal I just ate. It’s been a frustrating 15+ years. Found out 6 years ago I also have Celiac disease and other food sensitivities which have made things difficult. Your videos have helped me in a way where it’s nice to know I’m not alone and there also people going through these things but in the moment you feel you’re alone in all this.

My exact symptoms for 7yrs now

[@carlosmamani2214]

In not very bad cases, the intestines are bothered, this is due to the condiments or spices that are put on the food, chemical preservatives that are very subtle but added to others can do a lot of damage, fungi. I usually have these things coconut oil ( is very important) on my toast or in my food. Lemonades with sodium bicarbonate, drink in half a glass of water with a splash (like 2 tablespoons of soup) of apple cider vinegar in the morning and at night. if I have mushrooms I use salt in my mouth, a condiment called cloves, luckily God bless you.

Hi Becky just watched ur interesting vid. I have crohn's and many of these symptoms are similar. Don't know if might help you but maybe think about having a B12 injection, might perk you up have a look on google you can have them done privately. I'm supposed to have one every three months but can't get in at docs. Cost me £40, I feel a bit more perky. It helps you absorb goodness out of ur food, just a suggestion have a look...

[@mrsjanhannah]

I have been physically sick with the pain and sweat like crazy. Fortunately my bath can be reached by moving the shower screen in dire times. I have to be aware of infections too though a gluten free diet and small sugar free meals help.

[@amkempton3489]

New subscriber here so please forgive me if this has already been asked, but I'm just wondering what your thoughts are Becky on probiotics. I hear so many different opinions. I have ibs with constipation.

[@theosimm9925]

I usually have problems peeing when having a flare up. I have IBS-D and taking Loperamide for symtomps and for slowing bowel movements.

[@tempest031]

I'm in agony right now, while watching this, I started having these stupid bloating more frequently recently, I'm even a vegetarian , it's so unfair 😭. Passing mucus and constipation is fine comparatively, The cramping, bloating, back ache, feeling irritated and sick, trouble sleeping and the incomplete voidance/peeing in sessions is irritating

[@carmenreean]

Hi, I think will be time to update the "About" section. 🙌

[@milkshake2659]

I have the bladder issues and it’s more annoying then painful for me at least

[@lisaball655]

Another thing that I get which I've been told by my doctor is an adrenaline high. I get this when I get terrible gripes feel sick belly is terribly painful and I need to go to the loo like now!!! My forehead is covered in beads of sweat. Once I've been to the toilet the pain is gone the sweat stops and it all lasts about 30 mins. I dont get this often. I have Coeliac disease I've had it 43 years so i know it's not a Coeliac symptom. Doc said this is an ibs symptom and referred me to gastroenterology for a check up this was before lockdown and still not had any appointment x

[@claudinecrook6660]

This is amazing information. I have 8 symptoms of the 11 described. I am not diagnosed yet by a doctore but after the colonsocopy I am sure this is what I will be diagnosed at as all other test results were negative. For the last 3 weeks I have been attached to the toilet night and day. The pain is excrutiating. Will I be able to leave the house again?

[@edwardinapepple693]

I’m sitting on the toilet right now and I can confirm it 100% makes me feel better

[@marcoantoniogouveia806]

I have gas pains and fatigue, sometimes cramps, but the worst symptom is the random sharp pains on my belly and on my back, I really thought I had Chron disease but after a colonoscopy my doctor said my intestine were impeccable and it was probably IBS, but sometimes it feels like I'm totally inflamed on the inside.

[@huckelberrygirl]

I get nauseous yes! I’m slowly learning when my intestines also hurt from being empty because it’s kinda the same pain

[@ashleybellerose7104]

The pain was also what made me go to the doctor. Ive had this since I was like not even 10. I thought this was normal. I thought it meant I had to go to the bathroom bad. I started to notice it happened to me a lot so I asked my really good friends about it. Noone knew what pain i was talking about. So I went to the doctor and duh duh nu diagnosed with IBS so its new diagnosis for me. Learning about it. Not scared of it. I suffered blindly my whole life got through it. I get constipation all the time and my bowel movements are never normal I learned. Idk why its messed up. And yes I feel immense amounts of relief after. I feel bad if its never that satisfying for people lol

[@Acj81]

I’ve had ibs for 30 years. Since I was 9 years old the things that trigger mine is fizzy drinks, lactose I don’t drink cows milk and if I miss meals. I haven’t had ibs for ages -until today. I went for an hour walk into town I felt the urge to go loo. The toilets where closed so I soiled myself! I had to find another toilet and it was coming out when I was rushing to find the other toilets in the shopping centre a 10 min walk away. Lucky I had just been shopping and had spare trousers and knickers. I nearly passed out I was sweating and I was vomiting in the shopping centre. Luckily I managed to get a lift home. I finally got home and was on and off the toilet for 2 hours after. I couldn’t wee for ages but needed too. I’m not exhausted. Next time I’ll make sure I don’t miss breakfast and eat less carby food.

[@northangel30leather6]

Oh my god that sounds awful and a nightmare of mine. I have nearly been caught out so many times usually when I’m driving and trying to get home and having a bad flare for nearly 3 months now. Consequently I hardly go anywhere anymore and it’s always very local, within 5 minutes from home, if I do venture out which is honestly hardly ever because of the fear of the pain and urgency coming on so quick. It has controlled every aspect of my life for about 20 years now and it’s just horrible to live with.

[@deniseossman7723]

something time a can be very good then I can be very very bab can not walk our sleep and crap so much pian I cry because am in so much pain the dr just told me I wave bis now and going to take pill for ibs now have not took it yet but will take it soon

[@chrisrobinson4573]

Does anyone have what feels like a colon/sigmoid spasm in the lower left side? Mine has really calmed with gluten free.

[@beaulieuonnp593]

i find it difficult at night when the toilets are closed. Also in parks when they only accept 20p by card and I don't have contactless. I wear black trousers a lot. I sometimes don't have poo control at all which is a big problem. When I go out, I have to wear adult nappies, a snap on plastic knickers and an waterproof overtrousers which I an easily put on outside. I am also considering taking a camping loo with a cat litter bag etc so I don't block up the loos in public cafes etc So having a Poo Disaster Bag will help reduce the embarrassment and indignity. I do find it difficult in Urban areas to have a IBS flare up

[@elisabethb9755]

Hi from Norway! 13 years of IBS here! Most days is bad yes, it’s hard to work full time here.. and sometimes school.. stress it’s a huge factor here also. Can also have fatigue 🙆🏻‍♀️ Hard to stay postive when I have the worst days 😅 but need to get better when its come to food, but its hard..

[@akbarkadri5432]

I'm reading some random comments here... my IBS is 3+ years now. Dealing with IBS is quite difficult... I hope we all get better, GOD bless all of us in our journey...

[@tabasumnabi4488]

Mine has now been a 11 yr long journey of IBS

[@xy6634]

Hi Becky, do u take any medications for your IBS? esp for the constipation?

[@cathrinejones7294]

Hello thank you for the videos very helpful, I am just starting on my low fodmap journey after having IBS for many years and not knowing where to turn for help. After many visits to docs with no help and no diagnosis and refused access to dietary or gastro services. I have now managed to get an app with a gastro specialist after refusing to leave the docs without one. What does confuse me is the timing of symptoms after eating the problem food. I keep a food diary but don't know the time span I should be looking at to see what has upset me. Would it be food from the previous day or even the day prior to that ie, 48 hrs before symptoms? I am finding it all very confusing at the moment. Any info would be very helpful.

[@sharlablackett4988]

Awesome video it’s exactly what I was looking for. Trying to determine if this is my issue. I am afraid to say I thinks so :(

[@parkerenglish9773]

Watching these kind of videos will help you ? Ask this question to yourself. Answer is "No". IBS can be cured I had been suffering from this problem for 6 years but now i have cured myself 100%. you can also get rid of this problem.
