Are Your IBS Symptoms Getting Worse?

I think my IBS symptoms are getting worse. I’m just glad I finally got a doctor who referred me to a GI doc near me. My point is, has anyone else’s IBS/stomach issues gotten worse recently or is it just me?

My gastroenterologist prescribed Fibercon with is OTC. It does help with IBS-D which I have. Everything I eat seems to affect my IBS.

I am almost 2 years into my diagnosis of IBS and I am still trying to find the right supplements to take to help manage my symptoms. I feel like every week is different for me, I always have discomfort, but most of my other symptoms vary from week to week no matter how I am eating/drinking, no matter what my activity level is, etc. I am just doing am extremely restricted diet, and staying consistent with the supplements I am currently taking, and I hope for the best. I am seeing a third GI doc in a couple months to get another opinion. Best of luck to you, and feel free to reach out if you want :)

I'm newly diagnosed with IBS but it was this past winter so pretty recent still. Not sure I'm familiar with how mine behaves unless I deliberately snack something bad. Which is hard to not do

Lol I was literally about to write up a post about how I feel like things are so much worse then usual right now. I'm trying to hold out some hope since I'm seeing a new gastroenterologist next week, but it's so hard keeping up with what my system is throwing at me.

hang in there friend :) But yeah I can’t tell if these new symptoms are related to my IBS or if I’m developing something else bad.
