My IBS( irritable bowel syndrome) is killing me too!!!
just to enlighten you, here's an explanation about what IBS is. I understand that not many people heard of this before, me neither. If it wasnt for me having IBS, i wouldnt even know this existed.
What is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)?Irritable bowel syndrome is a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress, but it does not permanently harm the intestines and does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer. Most people can control their symptoms with diet, stress management, and prescribed medications. For some people, however, IBS can be disabling. They may be unable to work, attend social events, or even travel short distances.
What are the symptoms of IBS?
Abdominal pain, bloating, and discomfort are the main symptoms of IBS. However, symptoms can vary from person to person. Some people have constipation, which means hard, difficult-to-pass, or infrequent bowel movements. Often these people report straining and cramping when trying to have a bowel movement but cannot eliminate any stool, or they are able to eliminate only a small amount. If they are able to have a bowel movement, there may be mucus in it, which is a fluid that moistens and protect passages in the digestive system. Some people with IBS experience diarrhea, which is frequent, loose, watery, stools. People with diarrhea frequently feel an urgent and uncontrollable need to have a bowel movement. Other people with IBS alternate between constipation and diarrhea. Sometimes people find that their symptoms subside for a few months and then return, while others report a constant worsening of symptoms over time.
Symptoms include
-Abdominal pain or discomfort for at least 12 weeks out of the previous 12 months. These 12 weeks do not have to be consecutive.
-The abdominal pain or discomfort has two of the following three features:
+It is relieved by having a bowel movement.
+When it starts, there is a change in how often you have a bowel movement.
+When it starts, there is a change in the form of the stool or the way it looks.
-Certain symptoms must also be present, such as
+a change in frequency of bowel movements
+a change in appearance of bowel movements
+feelings of uncontrollable urgency to have a bowel movement
+difficulty or inability to pass stool
+mucus in the stool
+bloating
Researchers have found that women with IBS may have more symptoms during their menstrual periods, suggesting that reproductive hormones can worsen IBS problems. In addition, people with IBS frequently suffer from depression and anxiety, which can worsen symptoms. Similarly,
