Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by ♪♫ ßr0wn Eyǝd G!rl ツ ♥: Suffering through horrible stomach aches.. Can anyone help?
Does anyone have irritable bowel syndrome? If so, what are the symptoms?

I’m trying to narrow down what is causing these horrible stomach aches I’ve been having off and on since last week. I don’t want to go to the ER because it’ll cost a fortune (with health insurance) and I don’t think it’s that severe.

I was seeing a stomach specialist over the summer which confirmed that I no longer have H-Pylori or gastristis which I was told that I had a few years back by another stomach doctor.

The pains that I am suffering is a lot of pressure in my stomach and bloating. There is no blood in my stool. Sorry for the gross details so that’s why I said (above) that the symptoms aren’t severe). However, the symptoms are very uncomfortable. I had to leave early twice last week and I’m close to asking to go home early from work again today because I can’t take sitting for much longer!!

Thanks in advance.
Huh? My digestive system works fine. It’s not that.

You are a female and that makes stomach problems difficult to diagnose from symptomatic information. Your best bet is to see a doctor who can run some tests. It may not be your digestive tract at all. You could be having some organ problems such as gall bladder or ovaries.

Question by Candice: What specific foods should you stay away from when suffering from bloating, gas and occasion diarrhea?
My daughter is 13 and suffers from, what I believe to be, an Irritable Bowel Syndrome. She has frequent bouts of terrible gas and I would like to know what foods to eliminate from her daily diet. I have already spoke to our family doctor but she didn’t offer much relief except to take her to a specialist which I am doing. In the meantime, any helpful advice would be greatly appecriated. Thank you. :0)

For an irritated bowel, I would suggest avoiding spiced foods. Go with kind of bland food like mashed potatoes. Drink a lot of cranberry juice because that helps with digestion.

Steamed Veggies and oily foods are also a small taboo. Mostly complex foods that have a lot of spices or sauces (and unfortunatly flavor), should be avoided.

I hope I helped a little!!

If I stay on Metamucil for roughage I’m O.K. or something like that. If I go off it, within a few weeks I’ve got problems.

I stay away from to much gravies, barbeque’s, pork, to much fats and spices. you have to watch your diet. See a doctor and get a diet.
