Dealing with Never-Ending IBS Flare Ups: Need Advice

I know this is a little tmi, but lately with my IBS I’ve been having really bad flare ups for days on end where I just can’t seem to stop using the bathroom, and I get it to stop only for it to return the next morning It comes on suddenly and will just consist of me spending the day on the toilet trying to suppress my symptoms.

Experiencing Chest Pain After a Flare Up

I had an awful flare up as well as lots of trapped gas last night, and all day today I’ve had some light chest pain. The pain has been all over my chest, and not just one side. I’m guessing it could be some gas that’s still trapped? It doesn’t feel like my heart if you know what I mean, it’s more so my muscles or something.

How to Identify IBS Triggers?

How did you learn what foods trigger your IBS? Is it obvious when a food impacts you, like do your symptoms happen right away, or could eating something affect you later in the day or the next day? As I scroll this app, it seems like time of day and stress also impacts IBS, and I'm about to try cutting out a food for a week to see if it impacts me, but I'm nervous I won't even be able to tell if my gut acts up regardless 🥴

Strange Eating Habits Despite Feeling Full

Hi fellow IBS sufferers. I've noticed something strange about my eating habits. Despite always feeling bloated and full after eating a big meal, especially dinner, for some reason my brain still thinks I'm hungry and I want to keep eating and snacking (especially on carbs/sugar) even though I already feel full and carbs/sugar are the worst possible thing I could eat. It's like the wiring between my brain and my gut is completely messed up and one thinks I'm full and the other is still hungry. Anyone else experience this?

Sudden Bowel Movements and Abdominal Cramping

Does anyone else randomly experience lots of bowel movements back to back in a short space of time, along with lower abdominal/pelvic cramping? This happened to me today and I’ve also got lower left back pain and chest pain. I suspect the chest pain is anxiety related as I have a phobia of vomiting and diarrhoea. I had three large bowel movements back to back in the space of an hour, seemingly without a cause and out of nowhere. Any advice?

Dealing with Stomach Pains and Weight Loss

For the past week or so, I’ve had an issue with my stomach that I haven’t had for awhile. I’ll eat something, and about 5-10 minutes later my stomach starts to cramp up and I get really sharp pains. I had this issue last year which caused me to stop eating all together, and I have started that all over again. On new years of 2022, I was 190 Lbs- by the time December rolled around, I had lost 60 pounds (I was 130) from just not eating; I wasn’t trying to either. I’m at 140 right now which isn’t bad, but I just don’t want to start loosing too much weight again, you know? It’s just weird, I don’t know what causes the pain either. I have IBS, so it might just be a weird symptom of that but I don’t know for sure.

My First Neurologist Visit and Celebrating with Sushi!

I finally went to the neurologist today and it was very insightful. It took me a while to muster up getting the appointment and I finally got through it. Now tomorrow is a celebration of me finally starting my journey to getting better by going and getting sushi!!! :D yay!

Can Work Schedule Affect Sickness?

Does anyone know if time can effect sicknesses? For example, I used to work at 9 am and I found my symptoms more manageable, but when I switched to 8 am, suddenly I’d start having flare ups right at 7:30 or just when I was arriving at work. I like my job, not sure why it’s so unbearable lately.

Finally found something that helps with my anxiety!

After years of trying different medications for anxiety and panic attacks and not getting anywhere, I’ve finally started taking something that helps! 😃 It’s called Vortioxetine, and I felt an improvement after only a couple days of taking it! This combined with mindfulness and going to the gym has really helped me with depression, stress, anxiety & IBS. I don’t feel so panicked anymore which was the main thing I needed help with 😄💓

Help for IBS Sufferers: Advice Needed

hello, IBS- d sufferers any advice out there

Muscle Tremors and Anxiety: Anyone Else?

Anxiety with muscle tremors/tensing/tics?? Does anyone else experience a anxiety/panic attack that produces muscle tremors? For me it’s usually a silent attack, I can sometimes recognize that I’m anxious, but it usually doesn’t cause hyperventilation, a general “panic” feeling, or anything like that. I usually just experience chest and/or arm pain, chest pressure and/or discomfort, and then the shaking and tensing starts. This usually happens once every few months, my usual anxiety doesn’t cause this extreme of symptoms. These also usually occur at night time when I’m relaxing or getting ready to go to bed. Has anyone found a way to stop these? Or reduce duration or severity? I don’t take any medications for anxiety anymore. I’ve been off them for 1 1/2 years (if that helps any?)?
