Does anyone know how to sucessfully treat IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)? |
I have this stupid and annoying psychological disease called IBS (No need to explain what it is, if you don鈥檛 know what IBS is, you won鈥檛 be able to answer the question). It is getting harder and harder to go to work and to socialize. Does anyone know how to cure it? I am based in London (SW) Hi, know where you are coming from. I suffered for years and now I diet control it. I kept a food diary for months and ate on day 1 pasta, day 2 added tomato's, day 3 added onion etc and established what made me react and what did not. I also found peppermint capsules a huge help. As far as I know there is no cure, but it is possible to live with. I would suggest seeing a dietitian (if you have not already seen one), who could help. I now eat some food in extreme moderation or do not even touch them anymore, but it has changed the way I live. I no longer worry about how long a journey takes or how far away the nearest loo is. It is not cureable but it is treatable. See your doc for some of the new medications that are available to help treat it. IBS is evil. I hate it. The best thing to do is to find out what foods trigger it and stay away from them. Also, peppermint tea works wonders. Stress triggers IBS, so try some lavender sented something-or-other for a calming effect. It helped me to get rid of the major stress in my life, which was a very bad relationship Staying away from MSG might also help I'm almost symptom free now. Drink Peppermint tea and avoid wheat and don't have too much dairy produce.... i Have suffered with IBS for some time, to be honest i dont feel there is a cure, i have though cut out on foods that contain wheat and it did seem to improve, you could try taking Buscopan which is the treatment for IBS, or maybe go to your doctor and see what he recommends. Some people say to keep a diary of evrything you eat and write down on the days that you suffer with IBS and it maybe that you get a pattern, and find that it is something you eat yep try chaning your diet, mine is agrevated by things that are good for you ie high fiber die,t you could try aloe vera capsules or pepermint they are supposed to be good for ibs, go to the doc and ask to see someone about it, there isn't a cure yet, but try the diet thing, have a boring diet plain food first, and then add things back in and see if anything makes it worse, do it after christmas though ;-) and stress makes it worse so try to chill out a bit or do yoga it help you relax |
