Is there really a cure for ibs?
I've suffered almost a year with ibs and it has taken so much away from me. I battle diarrhea and stomach discomfort every single day without loading up on immodium which I'm sure isn't too healthy but its all I have I have changed my diet up and eliminated trigger foods, started exercising more even tho I'm already under weight 5'5 97lbs but my food goes right thru me. I've tried many medicines and seen 5 doctors now and they haven't been much help. Basically all said I'll outgrow it when I'm 50 . Well I'm 26 with 4 kids and a husband and I can't watch my life waste away BC of this ibs crap. Has anyone actually overcame ibs d? And if so plz tell me how. There's way too many colon health products out there and I can't seem them fixing this ongoing problem. Money is not an issue but time is.

Does having IBS burn more calories?
I have irritable bowl syndrome, recently diagnosed and I have now found I'm hungry all the time with a grumbling stomach if I don't eat when I feel hungry even if I ate half an hour ago. I am actually doing less exercise atm because I am revising for exams LAST EVER YEAR 13 But does having ibs mean I am burning my food much quicker?

Is it IBS or something else?
I have been having stomach problems for almost four years now including bloating, cramping, diarrhea, constipation, nausea and vomiting, unexplained weight loss and gain basically any stomach intestinal problems you can imagine. They have been debilitating, and really have taken a toll on my mental health as a result. I have had every test done to eliminate things such as Crohns, Celiac, Colitis, allergies, GERD, and everything came back normal. I have been doing my own research and thought it was possible that I have had giardia for years and did not know it, so I did a stool sample which came back negative. My doctor put me on a three day treatment of Tindamax anyway just to see if it would help. The treatment itself was rough, but for 2 3 days after I finished the treatment, I was symptom free. Unfortunately, my symptoms came back on the fourth day, so my relief was short lived. Is it possible that I hit on some type of answer to my problems, or was it probably just a coincidence?

IBS Problems! Whats should I do? Performance Tomarow.. PLZ HELP?
today i has home from school sick due to 3 ibs attacks and feeling lousy due to a small cold and allergies. Problem is iis that tomarow im suppose to sing with my church choir at this fancy church in Seattle, in which we would there for 5 hours and im scared. Im afraid, that since my stomach has been a mess all week and my tummy is hurting, that ill go into a ibs attack during the performance.At my church we have an" escape route plan" for me in case i need to leave during the performance but at this big fancy church that we have never been to before ,we have no such thing. IT makes me nervous cause without that,if i do go into an attack ill be stuck up there.or i could try to escape but since we are going to another church with another religion i dont know all the rules,guidlines.etc. And the worst thing for me would be to get stuck up there with no way out or to a bathroom and the pain that goes along with ibs attacks. soetimes I cant even move.The idea of not being able to get to a bathroom causes me to get panic attacks. ITs one of my biggest fears since developing this " condition" a few months ago. I tried to email my choir director asking him about what he thinks i do if i get sick but he hasnt answered and tomarow hell be to stressed out for me to have time to talk with him. Im just really worried. we get to the church at 4ish and leave the area at around 9,singing stuck in one space for abt 2 hours. currently i have a major headache due to allergies,stress and cold , and a massive stomach ache due to pms and IBS PLZ help. ANY SUGGESTIONS ps im 15gastroenterlologist said that she could help me and sent me to my pediatrician who only told me to change my diet which i have

Bloating - Is this IBS, how long before things settle down.?
I am a 31 year old female and I have been suffering Bloating for a month now, making me very uncomfortable. I am also burping a lot.I have been to my doctors a couple of times over the last couple of weeks and i have had blood tests which have come back clear. My abdomen is not tender, apart from when bloated and it is more like a pressure feelingMy bowel movements have been everyday some day's a little loose and some days 3 times a day although small amounts. I cannot see any blood in the stool, but not quite sure what i am looking for.I have been on peppermint oil for a few weeks as well as mebervine and buscopan, but stopped taking the later two as i wasn't suffering cramps anymore. I do get a gurgley sensation near my back passage every other evening late at night. I have tried to remove bread, caffeine and carbonated drinks. I am eating a healthy diet fruit vegs, although my diet has changed and I have lost 8lbs in the last month, but i am not eating anything at all unhealthy and what i am eating is in small amounts.. I have taken a probiotic supplement in case it is a bacteria thing.Does this sound like IBS? and can it take a long time to settle down.I can't think about anything else at the moment so any help or advice would be great.Thanks
