This video was informative. I hate what IBS has done to me and it seems every gastro doctor I see, makes it almost sound normal and no big deal. When I don't eat for days I'm fine. The worst part is the bodyaches and even small bruises after these attacks. I decided to just eat once a day and keep it very small and it did wonders but I felt weak. My doctor said "keep up the good work" after 40 pds lost. I'm done ranting I just know others here have experienced similar and it is a lonely road.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

[@reginapeterson9701]

I have IBS, but I'm not stressed. I am retired and I stay home and enjoy my dogs and pretty much do whatever I want to. I get flare ups about 5 or 6 times a year. I try to stay away from the foods that I don't do well with. I do best when I eat a lot of fruit and veggies (cooked of course). I noticed that in the summer, I do well with eating all the garden veggies we grow every year. Then as fall and winter come, we start eating chili, spaghetti and all the winter foods and that is when I start having problems. I love spicy foods and most of the time avoid them, but sometimes I just have to eat them...then I pay for it.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Thanks for sharing all of that. A lot of people note that they aren't stressed and still get IBS. I did a video on that you might like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5S3mGWdmbSpgpY I wonder if you have an allergy to a particular spice, or if they are just exacerbating another issue that can be solved? That's what we'd love to help you figure out.

[@jayjacqueline615]

I suffer from IBS-C and rarely experience diarrhea. The flareups involve multiple painful bowel movements which cause debilitating pain. I've had several stressful major life events so far in 2024, including a job elimination. One of the worst flareups suddenly hit me a week ago, followed my slowest recovery. While filing for unemployment, I just learned that IBS is on the list of employment disabilities, which makes sense because it demands time off from work. Since I am 8 months from qualifying for full social security, I am wondering if I should file for disability now. What hoops did you have to jump through to qualify?

[@junglercan]

Thank you so much for all valuable information. After watching I realized how much raw food I was eating without realizing. I stopped it all. And I have followed your advice to eat more soup especially during those attack days. It really helped me alot. I eat 2-3 bowls of soup some days to feel the relief. I’m grateful that I’ve watched your videos 🙏

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

I’m in one now, and you probably know that nurses can’t miss work. However, I can’t constantly stop what I’m doing or be in pain and run to the bathroom. Plus, I don’t think the hospital would be too happy if I had diarrhea and went to work. Even though it’s not infectious and we are constantly washing our hands, there’s still a chance of transferring gut bacteria to the pt. Edit: Also, the exhaustion makes it hard to function.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

I cannot thank you for talking about this. I have NEVER met anybody who goes through what i do, and you're right -- it can be debilitating! What really scares me is that my mother died from an ileus / perforated diverticulum. I've been told my whole life that this is completely benign, but now I'm not so sure. Could she have been going through IBS herself? I do know she fought chronic constipation.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

It all has to start somewhere, and the issues that affect the digestive system are mostly the same, regardless of the label that you end up with in the end, which only defines the symptoms. The medical system is great at giving you labels and identifying symptoms, and very poor at actually getting to the cause of the problem.

[@AngelasJoys]

I really like you. You do know what people with IBD or S feel. I would add these things. You can have chicken baked and put it in a food processor that does the chewing for you. Don't overeat. Eat bland. A heating pad either on your stomach or on your lower back near your waist. Sugar doesn't bother me. Everyone has different triggers. Some dairy and yes, salads and spices are my enemies. Terrific channel.

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@jgreen9361]

I have found that there are triggers, but there was for me an underlying food that primed the gun. It took me 18 months to identify, but I can now eat all the trigger foods again, I don’t overdo it, but the foods I can eat again with no problem include a pint of beer, a strong coffee, coleslaw that includes raw cabbage, spices and pasta. For me, the priming food was shop bought bread, I now bake my own from multigrain, organic white and malted flours only. The sensitising agent could be glyphosate residue in cheap flour, raising agents, chemical based emulsifiers or the hyper processed nature of the food. All my symptoms are gone and I enjoy food again.

Suffering since 2 months.. recovering day by day... Last 3 days completely normal... What I followed is.. 1. Elimination gluten and Sugar 2. Gentle Yoga 3. Pranayam 4. 35 mins walk... Day by day I feel I am improving a little bit.. Dear IBS community, have you ever observed if we are in hurry or if we are supposed to complete any target in time may it be simple cooking or any simple task in time... Due to even simple worry our stomach contracts. And doesn't feel like relax stomach... We have to observe this very carefully,....I think this is the reason.. it starts feeling abnormal,.. For that meditation, stressfree no time bound commitment, slow and peaceful working style.. rhythmic pattern of breathing is very necessary to keep brain gut in sync.. I had this IBS 3 YEARS BACK resolved in 2 months then again 1 year back... Again resolved in 1 month and now since last 2 months... Resolving slowly .. since last 3 days....❤

Stomach growling causing the pain that much more worse. It was so bad i could only lay in the fetal position moaning in agony hoping for some peace. I was so thirsty but just the slightest sip of water causes me to continue to vomit and my throat is on fire from the acid Day 2 same symptoms acid vomiting and dry heaving. My stomach feels like I've done a million sit ups. I'm weak I can barely walk I had to call off from work 2days in a row and it sucks because they don't know what I'm going through.

Unfortunately, I have had microscopic colitis for 11 years, which is sort of like a constant IBS flare. Eating this way does help. My problem is, it seems so unhealthy to forever leave out fiber and leafy greens, etc. all the things we are constantly told are best to eat a lot of to be healthy. Those things aren’t healthy for me, as I wind up extremely sick. One thing I have found is to use a juicer to make veggie juices. Mine grinds up the veggies and takes out the pulp and fiber. At least I’m getting some nutrients.

What kind of meat do you eat?

Seriously thinking about doing this, at least short-term while I'm having a flare. Once I get the flare calmed down, I would want to add in some other kinds of food that I can digest easily.

[@katem6598]

I’ve been to and from multiple doctors for repeated stomach aches. I wasn’t born lactose intolerant. It started when I was 18. Then eating a regular size steak for an average size meal would hurt also, so I cut half of my portions of red meat out to see if that helps, then I start bloating like crazy from eating tomatoes because they’re highly acidic (cooked or uncooked). I’ve had diarrhea for almost a week and lost close to 10 pounds. Weighed 135 two weeks ago. The first three days I had diarrhea, I lost 5 pounds so I weighed 130. Couple more goes by and now I’m 124. If I have IBS I don’t know how long it will take to get use to because there are so many food restrictions. Plus I enjoy running and my weight loss could cause me to be benched if they think I’m too sick to be running. I’ll also be losing muscle which I worked hard on to improve. Any suggestions would be really helpful for coping and eating habits.

About the closet: It’s common to see one side with long handing and one side with double shelves in a closet like that.

The problem with IBS is that things can go to either end of the spectrum - horrible diarrhea that makes you run to the bathroom, or constipation that can even cause impaction, and isn't helped by milder stool softeners. ( prescriptions like lactulose is needed.) Of course it is important to keep hydrated, eat nutritiously - no junk food, nothing spicy, etc. But what foods help with both the diarrhea AND constipation? The medicines that treat one, cause the other ...

I’ve been diagnosed with ibs and I would go waking up at 3 am because of stomach cramping so when I went out I would almost fall asleep throughout the day but yes it got worse so now it comes in long periods and gives me a breather sometimes so I’m hoping it’s nothing too serious

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

That sounds really challenging, especially with the nighttime cramping and daytime fatigue. IBS can definitely be unpredictable, and it’s tough when symptoms flare up. It’s good that you’re getting some breaks between the episodes, but it’s understandable to be concerned. Have you been able to work with a doctor or dietitian to find a management plan that helps? Sometimes, a combination of diet adjustments, stress management, and possibly medication can really help with the symptoms.

It sounds like you’ve been dealing with some uncomfortable digestive issues. Bloating and gas can be really frustrating, especially when you’re trying to eat normally.

Sometimes, small dietary changes can make a big difference.

I’ve been surviving on a diet of boiled chicken and chicken soup for both lunch and dinner. To mix things up (if you can call it that), I occasionally throw in some boiled white rice or plain pasta-no sauces, of course. Yes, it’s incredibly bland, but hey, I’d rather be bored than hungry. Dealing with IBS is not only unpleasant but incredibly frustrating, especially when there seems to be no cure or even a reliable way to calm it down once it flares up. It really does feel like no one has cracked the code yet. I continue to search through peer reviewed academic journals seeking a new drug, new exercise, or new thought and find - nothing! Millions of us deal with IBS (it never goes away) and yet no one has been smart enough to find even a pathway to a cure (or a way to diminish the pain and frustrations of flare-ups).

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

You should read my website and watch my other videos. I once had IBS, and at the IBS Treatment Center we've been helping people cure IBS since 2005. If you want a completely new perspective on solving IBS, there is definitely a way. But it's never going to come from the conventional medical community, and it's never going to show up in a medical journal. That's because it would be like asking someone to do a study on how to cure fatigue. There isn't one simple answer because there isn't just one cause or even ten causes. And the medical professionals looking at it that way are always going to fail and say that there is no cure. Of course there is a cure. But it has to be customized to each individual after a lot of careful investigation. And that's what we do. Check it out: www.IBSTreatmentCenter.com

Hi you talked a lot about the long list of food to avoid but barely about what you can/ should eat. Smoothies and soup... Are there any other foods?

Hey hive collective: I need advice. I have IBS. I got an official diagnosis. But I’ve never really gotten any help figuring out what foods trigger me, other than the eggs and/or stress. (God, I sincerely miss eating eggs…but I’m a nurse so I can’t exactly get rid of all stress, lol). I’ve never had allergy or other blood testing to determine what my problem areas are. U already had a colonoscopy in 2023…it’s not cancer, thank God. But I need to know what specific testing is recommended to help me figure out what foods, if any to avoid. And I’d like to lodge a complaint with the universe that I should not eat raw/unprocessed vegetables or fruits or nuts… next to eggs, they’re favorite foods. 😂 But I digress: what are the names of the specific blood/other tests to help determine a person’s allergens? From past attempts seeing providers, I get the sense that I’m gonna need to go in to the appointment armed with knowledge and ask directly. Any advice is welcome…because I literally have not been able to figure out what my trigger foods are during a flair, other than eggs and limiting coffee intake.

This was more helpful than the 7 years of doctors I've seen! Does IBS pain normally feel like a constant burning stab right below the belly button?

I swing between the 2 extremes. Thank you for such helpful content!!

[@IBSTreatmentCenter]

Thank you Rebecca. I am very glad that you found it helpful. Regarding your IBS pain, great question. There is no normal for IBS pain. It can be a constant burning or stabbing pain, just as you described, or it can be just about any other kind of pain that people will describe. And it can also be below the belly button, or just about anywhere else in the abdomen. That's part of the confusion of IBS. I can't give you any kind of truly useful advice on treating alternating IBS via this type of communication. We treat it very successfully all the time, but the treatment varies a great deal from patient to patient. All I can say is that there is a ton of hope for solving it.

My IBS started 4 month ago.. Very suddenly, and I was confused and didn't took it seriously in the beginning. But I have almost constant diarrhea, and sometimes pain and blow up... Last time I had really severe pain, two days ago was when I ate a few Blackberrys when I was out in nature... I only figured out afterwards that it had to be those 😢 I am eating at the moment oat porridge with banana and butter as my first meal, but I cannot figure out if this is good or bad, as it is high in fiber. Can anyone help? I do not get pain or blow up afterwards, actually my stomach seem ok... But I still keep on having diarrhea (just 1-2 a day) Also I started to add some Chia seed, for the gel to do good in my intestines... Is this a good or bad idea? Also I took psyllium Husk, which actually helped a whole lot in the beginning... But those are high in fiber as well... And When I bought them the second time, they where more fiber rich... So I think this was bad, but didn't think of it then. Because they seem to help less now, and actually have a little bit pain after taking them. So my conclusion is they should be the more refined type. I have ordered some bone broth. And I want to take it with miso as soup. The last couple of days I have had white rice with butter, cooked squash, and tomatosauce with tuna. That felt good to eat. No pain. Also I take some strong bio cultures, but unfortunately I don't feel much difference... Though could be it was worse if I didn't 😮 I would love some feedback from the more experienced 🙏

Remove plants from your diet and you not only won't have IBS flareups but you won't have IBS. IBS is curable if those who have it switch to animal protein and fat diet with as few carbs as possible. The way to be kind to your gut and to stop diarrhoea and constipation, is to stop eating plants, except a few non inflammatory vegetables in small portions. I didn't have IBS, but I was bloated and had constipation until I changed to animal protein and fat, plus drinking EVOO to lubricate my gut which now works beautifully. No plants diet has also cleared up my eczema and I no longer have sore gums.
