Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by wHo DaT gIrL*: Could I have lupus? Please read.?
well, I’m 15 in 9th grade and ever since i was in second grade i’v always been sick a lot but not really with a specific thing just “not feeling well”. This year, it got a loooot worse.

The symptoms I experienced this year (school year) were all GI related in the beggining (September to early December). I had a lot of bad abdominal problems. You name it, I get it. In December i got into the pediactric GI dr because there is not one around where I live so I had to travel.

The things that were already ruled out were celiac diseas, galbladder disease, liver disease, colon cancer, colitis, pancreatitis, ulcers, parasites. I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy in feb and the dr said my insides looked “pink and perfect” and diagnosed me with overproduction of acid and irritable bowel syndrome.

Lately, ever since December or January I would get body aches in my arms and legs and headaches but they’d come and go. Nothing I paid special attention to. At the end of feb I went to the eye dr and was diagnosed with baaaad dry eyes. I use artificial tears and they have helped.

I am also ALWAYS thirsty! I don’t eat fried foods or salty foods and I haven’t eaten much today but tonight i have had the woooorst problem with thirst! I have drinken a bottle of root beer that didn’t help so i drank a bottle of water that didn’t help so I drank a bottle of vitamin water that didn’t help so I drank 2 glasses of juice and ice cubes and NOTHING is quenching my thirst! IT’S TERRIBLE!!

For about a week i’v been getting the body aches more severe and also pains in both my legs under my knees and the same type of pain in my left wrist, and in the fingers on my right hand and a tingling in my tongue and sometimes feel numb in my hands and legs and bones. Could this be MS or lupus? I know with MS sometimes u get abdominal symptoms.

Question by joe: can you please tell me which kind of dog food is best for newfoundland male?
i feed my dog beneful and he has been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. he has frequent diarrhea and belly pain. The vet also suspects he has colitis and I am going to take him to vet for further testing. The vet thinks he is allergic to corn. So i remove pieces of corn with my hand from the beneful packet. I now think beneful may have contributed to his IBS and suspected colitis. If so, then what should I feed him?

Question by CrAzY_chik: Please Read! People with Gastrointestinal Problems. Chrones disease? IBS? IBD? Celiac Disease?
I am sixteen years old and have been suffering from chronic abdominal discomfort and other symptoms for more than four months. I have constant nausea ( I always feel like I am on the verge of vomiting but never do), abdominal pain ranging from a
mild irritated feeling to sharp cramps (not menstrual), gas, headaches, and debilitating fatigue.. I had an ultrasound and a ct scan a week ago and they both showed that I don’t have gallstones but I do have a large amount of (may be graphic-beware) compacted fecal matter (I warned you). However I have not been feeling constipated. In fact lately I have been having dihherea (occasionally bloody) 4-5 times a day.
I have Celiac disease and I was diagnosed about 4 months ago. And I know that it can take a while to heal but even the doctor doesnt know why its taking so long.
I just feel so sick all the time. Here’s my question: could it be Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Chrones or Ulcerative Colitis) or something els

Your doctor needs to determine the cause. There are a number of things it could be. I would not want to make an armchair diagnosis.

Question by maffia: I love yahoo answers, that’s why i always come here to ask for help.. please help!?
I was recently diagnosed with having ibs aka irritable bowel syndrome. Most days i feel sooo bloated and my belly looks like im a few months pregnant. It felt like something was moving inside but due to having ibs, one of the symptoms is having spasms in the stomach. I dont know why but i keep thinking im pregnant, i no that most ibs sufferers have similar symptoms to someone pregnant. I took a pregnancy test a few weeks ago and it came out one red line on an instalert test, red and white packet. Im not sure what that means as no instructions were given and my period has come on and its quite heavy, has been going on for a week now but anyway is there anyone out there with a similar problem??

Question by Nice Guy: Please diagnose me! Immediately!!!!?
Here are some weird questions for you to observe. Please read all of this. I have fatigue. I also have tender spots all over my body. When I touc certain spots on my body, they are super sensitive and they hurt. I barely touch them. When ever I do a squat, when I come back up, I wanna scream because my knees hurt so bad. I have irritable bowel syndrome. The tender spots started on my upper back, then my arms, then my thighs, then my shoulders, sometimes my neck. They’re spreading. I get dizzy sometimes. I have a few other symptoms that I can’t remember. What do all of these symptoms sound like?
I have had the flu shot and I’m getting my meningitis vaccine in a week. I just feel achey all over.
I have memory loss and visual disturbances. Sometimes, I sleep in weird postions and I have very painful migraines due to a benign brain tumor. I am in a lot of pain and I just want to know what’s going on. I had something else to say but I forgot.
I also get tingling in my fingers, hands, feet and toes.
My forehead is warm a lot. I’m not sure if it’s fever or not.

Have you checked out Trichinosis? Another shot in the dark – look into psychosomatic or autoimmune disorders as you say you have IBS…
