Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by Sammy ding a ling: Why does my lower stomach hurt every time I cough? And how I can I put a stop to this?
I have had a cough for a few days now, but today it is worse and at school my lower stomach started hurting every time I coughed (so I tried not to but that failed). Someone told me it might be abdominal pain or a cyst, but I do not know. Also I was wondering if it might have to do with my irritable bowel syndrome?
it doesn’t matter how hard or soft i cough..it hurts all the same. but if my cough is bigger it hurts more. very sharp

Well first off you may just be having muscle cramps because your coughs are going to clench your lower stomach. I wouldn’t be concerned with serious things like a cyst, trust me. You would have noticed that before now. I get this a lot after I’ve worked out in the past week, and I laugh or cough. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine. But if it doesn’t go away after you short sickness, just talk to your parents, they’ll let you know if its something to worry about.

Question by stvnhthr: What works for night time diarrhea caused by IBS? ?
I’m mainly on a diet of oatmeal, applesauce and beats. I’ve been prescribed Dicyclomine, and I take Imodium, probiotics and fiber supplements as well. I usually get between 2-4 hours of sleep before the diarrhea wakes me up and then after an hour or two I’m able to get back to sleep.
I’ve tried pepto, it helps my stomach but does not stop the diarrhea.

I’m not supposed to have dairy products so cheese is out.

Question by MJ 91: Is this my first time PVCs?
Can anyone help on this please,this is the first time this happens to me I did a 24 hours holter and these are the results, is this normal?

1.good recording quality.
2.clear sinus arrhymia.
3.normal QRS complexes.
4. 2 isolated PVCs, no couplets, no runs.
5. no isolated PACs, no couplets, no runs.
6. no significant ST alterations.
7. no pause > 2.5 sec.
8. 406 episodes of tachycardia rhythm- i guess maybe due to panic?

I have irritable bowel syndrome and severe anxiety and panic disorder and i always have upset stomach due to GERD, but i haven’t started on a medication yet for the anxiety, i stay awake al night and in the last week i begun having ectopic heart beats sometimes after sleeping for only 4 hours especially when i enter the REM state, and it wakes me up scared and my heart starts to race and then calm down, my blood pressure is normal, i did heart echo and stress test all normal, i’ve noticed that sometimes i have the ectopic heart beats when i hold my breath and when passing stool, and sometimes when i get up all the sudden and when i sit down all the sudden and when leaning forward, and I also have it when there is strong pain in my abdomen due to the IBS and maybe Gastritis, so my question is can pain or lack of sleep or anxiety or panic affect your normal heart rhythm and cause what I’m experiencing right now?? any help will be most appreciated and welcomed,
Thanks to you all, and god bless you all.

Question by Natalie: Why do small town people shove food at you all the time?
When I visit my bf in his small town and his parents all these people do is have feasts and keep telling me to eat. I realize it is a hospitable thing and probably just the way small towns are with gatherings, but I am on a diet, am a vegetarian and don’t need desserts thrown at me. How do I handle this. I told people sugar makes me break out really bad. I am about ready to tell them that I am a diabetic to make them layoff on the food. I have to work really hard to maintain the weight I am at. My bf has a high metabolism so he can eat and eat. I thought about saying I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, “anything” so they don’t keep saying here have some of this or here try that. Then they stare at you until you eat it. I cross the border into the other state and all they have is steakhouses. A vegetarian is out of place there. It’s cattle and ranches.

btw-I usually have a bowl of cereal, protein bar and a salad, peanuts, almonds, etc. I do vary this, but I eat light and balanced and I work out a lot to keep the weight off.

You should follow up with your doctor. Severe diarrhea after strong antibiotics can be a sign of C. difficile infection. This needs to be treated by antibiotics.
