Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by M L: What are symptoms associated with IBS, Irritable bowel syndrome?
The other night I had excrutiating stomach cramps. I felt like I had gas too but I couldn’t pass it. I had nausea and vomitted once (that made the cramps better). I did not have diarrhea. The cramps started out mild and progressed to very bad within two hours and lasted about 3 hours after that. This happened once before a year ago and I went to the ER thinking it was my appendix. After being tested for a ct scan for appendix and ovaries, the ER doc sent me home with a diagnosis of cramps with no named cause and a prescription of bentyl. I had some pills left so I took one and I guess it helped becuase my cramps went away. This was two nights ago. I have only had mild cramps (like a dull pain that moves around, not always in the same place) If the cramps come back I plan on making an appointment. I want to ask the doc all the right questions. Does it sound like it could be IBS so I can inquire about it?

That sounds like IBS. My unle, two aunts, cousin and my close friend all have this problem. They will start out feeling gassy, but it won’t pass and then they get a bloated feeling, finally they have the diarrhea and then they get really constipated for a few days and not even fiber or laxatives will make the problem completely go away. I’d ask the doctor if she can schedule for the test for it.

I would be very interested that these alleged health risks … You are correct that they are micro-organisms in the gut, but can not be included in the bloodstream, or anywhere that there is fear of overdose or something. I never have any health risks are very probiotics than more loose stools with large amounts of probiotics (and yes, excessive diarrhea, difficult to hear, but everything in moderation). What is important to have more health issues with insufficient probiotics too much, and it is found different from those taking antibiotics (which kill good and bad bacteria) and compliance issues and / or recurrent bacterial Bad deposits (eg recurrent fungal infections) since.
