Irritable Bowel Syndrome
as u told its just a mind game., whenever i do stuff which i am very involved and which interests me, i never feel it. only when i think something will go wrong it always gives me worries. may be we all need to be more comfortable doing things of our interests to divert our minds from thinking we are not normal. its been 3 years now,seeing this i felt someone in this world has the same fear as me.
Hi there, I have some info that may help some of you:
There’s a lot of research linking IBS to parasitic infections such as Blastocystis and D.Fragilis. The only way to test for parasites is to do a stool test in ‘fixative’. Blasto is found in something like 80% of IBS sufferers and post treatment most experience a resolve of their symptoms.
Ctd… on my next post (out of space! will include useful websites)
im 17 and have been suffering from IBS over the last year. especially recently it has become more severe and i am desperate for any help. i have tried appropriate dieting and fibre supplements but they havnt seemed to work. can you recommend any herbal remedies or medications i can try>?
Hi Roly. I’m afraid it’s a case of figuring out what works for you as IBS is different for every person. There is some excellent info on my IBS website (see link in the notes area) that may help you. be sure to check out the info on fiber – insoluble fiber is an IBS irritant!
cheers
Rick.
I’m 13, And I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It seems like most people think IBS is a nutrition problem, and like this person, its more a mental thing. I have anxiety, and going out to do anything, go to the movies, go to the store, even go to school, I can’t deal with the anxiety/IBS Combo. It totally kills me.
my dad doesn’t have IBS technically, but he does have celiac disease, which has some of the same problems. He has to really watch what he eats because if he accidentally eats even a wee bit of gluten or wheat or modified food starch, he’ll have GI problems. It’s not just a food allergy, it’s an autoimmune disorder.
i think we just have to try to not think about it and find things to do so we dont have time to stay and think about it im hacing IBs i noticed when im very busy and not thinking about it its okay its good
I just wanted to thank you for your video, all I did was cry while watching it, I ,like yourself suffer from this, I have exactly the same fears as you do going on 18 yrs now and have never told a soul about, I dont know what to do anymore, such a hold on my life.
Hi. sorry to hear about IBS having such a hold on your life, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There are many things you can do to alleviate the symptoms. If it is mostly psycological, then hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy are your best options. Changing your diet and taking certain things will also help considerably. The crutial thing to understand is that IBS will continue to rule your life until the day you decide to actually take action. So make that appointment today!
thank you rick for writing me back, I’m getting ready for about an 20 trip, I’m just not eating before hand, I cant think of what else to do, most days I’m ok, Yes, it is all in my head, stress really brings it on , and not knowing where the next bathroom will be while I’m out, thank you so much for the support, it means the WORLD to me
No Probs. If you get a moment take a look at my IBS website – there is a ton of useful information there which may help. (link in the notes area).
Good luck with the trip – remember immodium is your friend!
I have been suffering with chronic IBS-C for about one year.
Thank you Rickvanman for sharing your story! I relate completely, and am very sympathetic. IBS has pretty much destroyed my life.
I am now twenty, and began to experience the symptoms around 07/08. At the time, I was working at a good job, and became the top sales person.
When the IBS kicked in, the company decided they didn’t want to deal with my symptoms (running to the bathroom constantly, etc)
I was forced to move back to live with some family. I now am unemployed and hardly able to do anything I used to love. I have become totally anti-social and afraid to meet anyone, because I don’t think they will understand it.
Anyways, thank you once again for your video and the website. There definitely are people out there who understand!
——————–Peace.
I am in the EXACT same situation as you.
I was diagnosed with IBS but to add to that I was diagnosed with Social anxiety too and they tend to trigger each other.
I still have social anxiety and the ibs isnt as bad as it was but like you its still in my mind. Constantly thinking ” what if i get here and there isn’t a restroom, Its miserable.
I love your van! That was a very neat idea!
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease – book by Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn – Plant-based diet, starches. No meat. No fish. No oil. No dairy.
Pioneered by Dr. John McDougall. See The McDougall Program, p322-326 – Colitis Mild (Spastic Colitis) / IBS -
“Your bowel problems are not due to your emotional make-up (although unending bowel pains and diarrhea can drive even the strongest person to emotional collapse”.
Difficult cases – allergic reactions – try ‘elimination diet’.
Worth a look?
“Most people with IBS improve almost as soon as they begin to eat a starch-based diet that provides all types of fresh or fresh-frozen plant foods.
“An occasional sufferer will need to avoid specific plant foods causing an allergic reaction”.
“Plant foods notorious for (that) are wheat and citrus fruits”.
It is a _great_ diet otherwise. Chew steel and spit bullets – brown rice affects seratonin(?). YMMV.
Amazon, abebooks – s’hand for book. B. of luck.
Exc videos RVM.
Excuse ‘highlights – shorthand’, which now appear insensitive, after hearing part 1 — it wasn’t intended.
I blame the 500 char limit. Mostly.
.
I still say Dr. McD walks on water. For me at least.
A very canny man. How he noted differences in Asian generations in Hawaii, by diet, is a fascinating, vital story. imo.
And still relevant to IBS and anyone still on the SAD diet (Standard American Diet), = UK too.
FG you have 60 plus _good_ years to go.
See McD below. Worth a try?
Guarantee no more C. ‘Ask me how I know’ joke.
could this be related to a yeast infection in the stomach?
I don’t get it! I’ve been diagnosed with IBS and I don’t have diarria. And I don’t want it either! But on the contrary…I hardly ever go! I’m just really cramped up. Apparently I’was so severe that just with a simple test with a tube on the mouth, the doc was able to diagnose me. My stomach was cramping by its self, pretty severely for what I understand. Later then, he did a colonoscopy, and the same thing… What are the common symptoms anyway? Anybody?
you need to check out the IBS website I made (see the notes) – it tells you everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask!
good luck
Rick.
Hi Rick! I’m from California and I literally feel the exact same way as you. I’ve even resorted to carrying plastic bags and loo paper with me in my car just to have sort of a “safe haven” on journeys. Never had to use it, but you’re right it’s the “oh my god what if I have to go… RIGHT NOW?”
ive had this problem for about 9 years and i have all the same problems as you.i cant go out without atleast 30mins on the loo.then when i go out i need 2 run back home 2 go again.
Also i dont travel too well either.i too have
to plan out the journey so i know in my head where the nearest pub,resturant shopping center etc is.public transport is a big no no and i take imodium for car journeys depending on how far ill be travelling.i hope to join the royal navy soon but im worried that this problem will prevent me from doing so.
your van is a great idea and ive actuaslly thought about building one myself.
cheers
Rick I’ve suffered with IBS since I was 12 and now that I’m 49 I’ve learned a few tricks.Fasting before a plane trip enabled me to take my wife on trips.Metamucil 3 tbs every 2 or 3 days.Alcohol to socialize but like you I can’t drive.The psychological part gets easier as we age BUT… I know how HARD it is trying to explain to family 40 times a year ??? :0)…….. I do have a way to deaden the nerves without sugery and get it to back off.
