Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by : Could This Be A Sign That I Don’t Drink Enough Water?
I use to drink water a lot but lately not as much but still I drink water daily.

For about seven months I’ve had Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) which is a digestive problem where my stomach tends to make loud noises and contractions after eating. I started having this one problem though and it didn’t seem like it would be a symptom of my IBS. Here is the detail:

It is typically after I drink a small amount of water. I can literally feel the water in my stomach. I can feel it when I move and everything. Sometimes out of no where my stomach will make this noise and this weird vibrating feeling. Think of a water bottle filled with water and when you take the lid off and turn it over. You know how the water comes out and air bubbles float to the top and make a flapping kind of noise? That is not only how it sounds, that is how it feels. My stomach literally feels and sounds like a water bottle being turned upside down. When ever I drink a large amount of water, my stomach will have the feeling but not make the sound.

I really don’t know what to think of this. It doesn’t really seem like a symptom of my IBS. Since it changes when I drink larger amounts of water, I started thinking that maybe it’s a sign of dehydration.

Please help, thanks.

For the record, I can’t drink milk. Milk gives me really bad stomach pains and it’s recommended that people with IBS Don’t drink milk.

Question by Airforce ones: Had a bad experience at the exxon. Please Help me.. this is getting out of control.. I don’t know what to do
Another situation similar to last night.. but here goes… So I went to the Hob Nob with some friends to get a burger and chilli cheese tots. It was so good but then we decided to go bowling. On the way down the road.. I had these really bad sh!t pains and had to go. I asked the driver to pull me over at the exxon. I was in there forever cause I had to do #2. I have Pole Position downloaded on my phone.. I prolly played 5 games while I waited for nature to take it’s course. It was an awful mess when I was thru. I had to wipe I bet ya 30 times. The clan I was with was worried about me thinking I died in there. This is getting out of control. Seems like these days.. I can’t even go out in public without spending most of my time in the bathroom. Could this be irritable bowel syndrome or something? I don’t want to be tied to a medication. What am I going to do????????

You need to go to the doctor. Yes, you might have IBS and you might HAVE to take medication or change your diet drastically.

Question by Samantha: My grandma has a really bloated belly.. Doctors don’t know why or seem to care.. any help?
My grandma is in a nursing home. For about over a month or probably even longer, she has had this very bloated belly. She has Irritable Bowel Syndrome. The nurses have been giving her a liquid diet. But it still don’t go down and even when she passes her bowels it still feels knoty and hard. Anyone know what could be wrong with her?
I did a catscan on her belly or whatever it is called and found nothing. They gave her medication but it is not working.

I have IBS and the only way I knew for sure was when I went to the doctor. It took some time to figure out what I had though coz I had to try alot of things. E.g I had to visit a dietician, exclude gluten and lactose stuff, and basically put up with it. Anyway I eventually had to go to a specialist and he confirmed I had IBS.
I think if you want to be sure, visit a doctor.
Good luck x
