Answer by sidekick ya face
I have had IBS since I had my gallbladder removed. I haven’t really found any medicines that work. I’ve tried so many I can’t even remember the names. I’m not really sure what type of IBS you have [ there's one with frequent constipation, one with frequent diarrhea & one with both ] but if you have the one with frequent diarrhea, try eating greens with your meals. Lettuce, spinach, kale, things like that.

-EDIT-
In that case, have you tried stool softners? Maybe some prune juice. Miralax works wonders from what I’ve heard.

Question by cheerychumms: Are these related to pregnancy and does it sound good?
My period is due in 4 days. I had unprotected sex with hubby on the day before ovulation. Since then I have been crampy off and on,feel very vey tired which is not normal for me,no matter what i eat i still feel hungry and have been constipated but i have irritable bowel syndrome and usually am never constipated. My cervix will be soft and very hard to reach and then at times will feel lower and kinda firm,this is off and on,like right now its high.I also dont have much discharge at all unless i feel for my cervix and there is some milky very thin discharge on my cervix. I am soo confused. does this sound like pregnancy. And im going to test tomorrow.

I don’t know about the cervix as I never examine mine, but the discharge does possibly indicate pregnancy. Good luck.

There’s a big list, basically you have to find out what works for you by trial and error. Here are some good things that have worked for me:
- Whole-wheat pasta
- Any fruit or vegetable (especially broccoli, tomatoes, bananas, and any type of berry)
- Triscuits and tuna
- Peanut Butter
- Beans and brown rice
- South Beach Diet meals
- Grilled chicken

Basically I eliminated beef, pork, anything fried, and anything high in sugar, and took about 4-6 grams of fiber supplements per day. It was a huge help and my quality of life went way up once I got my diet in order. Good luck.

Umm. yea, and if they denied you like they do with about 50% of their cases, just get a lawyer and appeal the case. Most of time, they will deny you just out of habit of denying people.
