Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by Baller 4 Life: I take dump every morning before school and for the past few weeks, I’ve had to take dumps at school too..WTF?
I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. But still, if I take a dump before school, I should be good for at least the end of school. But for the past few weeks, I’ve been scared that I have to take a dump at school and I end up taking one. How can I stop being scared that I have to take a dump at school? I hate this!!

Don’t be scared. its good taking a dump. It gets all the bacteria and the bad residue out of your system. Same thing with urinating. Taking a dump consistently shows that you have a good amount fiber level.

Question by Meg A: What can cause diarrhea only in the morning?
I have been having diarrhea in the morning only for the past couple days. At first I thought it was my diet but that hasn’t really changed. I don’t know if it is due to stress but then again I’m usually stressed. I’m hoping it’s not IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) but something that will pass soon. Any ideas on what could be causing this? Oh, I don’t drink caffeine or smoke and I am more active lately. Like I said, it’ll pass after the morning (about an hour to an hour and a half after I wake up). Please help!

Sounds like you may have a little bit of a stomach bug as we sleep and we are not keeping active it can cause the bacteria to cause more problems which is probably why you are only having the problems in the morning. Try and eat good healthy stuff and hopefully it should pass within a couple of days. Keep your fluids up too, as diarrhea realy dehydrates you.

As for your stress, that can cause many health problems- so try and minimize it or do activities that help you to relax and settle down in the evening.

Question by northamericanx15: What should I eat before a morning run when I have IBS?
I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and I am an active runner. What breakfast should I eat before the run can prevent me from constantly putting gas and going to the bathroom. This is embarrasing but I found that if I get everything out of my system I will be left with no energy to run…. A good run is uplifting and I will be even more upset if I can’t run….please help me out here. Thanks!

Try eating yogurt. It is filling but doesn’t sit in your stomach and it is good for you. The protein might help you burn more calories when you run as well.

Question by michelle: I think I have IBS but I stopped eating in the morning and my stomach better?
I think what I have is Irritable Bowel Syndrome but I have been to several doctors and there guess is as good as mine. I stopped eating in the morning and don’t eat until 1pm or later and I have not had any problems with my stomach after that! I know not eating isn’t the best thing but it’s better than having an accident or killer stomach pains. Anyone else have this, not being able to eat in the morning?

Everyones’ hormone cycles are different, which includes men and women. There may be a particular hormone that is really high or low for you in the morning, and inevitably causes you to digest food improperly in the morning. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning the doctor can’t figure out what is it, so they go to IBS. There isn’t an actual TEST for IBS.

You have to train yourself to go every morning before school. Get up early enough to where you are going beforehand. The body is trainable like that. Also don’t eat anything for breakfast that you’re going to regret later.
