I was beginning to think no one else got this. I know I feel the incomplete evacuation. It's frustrating. Now my bowel movements are, excuse me, foul smelling. I take Librax when the pain is really bad and I take Miralax almost every day. But still have that feeling of being stuck....

I have to avoid all food that has wheat, barley or flour unless it is made strictly of rice flour.

I too have generalized anxiety disorder as well as severe depression and am sensitive to gluten, fried foods, onions and tomatoes for sure. I sleep a lot because all my meds make me tired.

With regards to the yogurt, I was debating if I wasn't lactose interlorant but interlorant or allergic to another component in dairy (like casein). I never considered the high sugar content in yogurt, my stomach also gets upset when I eat too much suagry foods, so that's another angle to consider. I also normally eat yogurt as a snack or dessert, so I wonder if it would make a difference on a full stomach? I ...

If the diarrhea started gradually over time, then it is probably a bit more likely to be IBS than if it started suddenly. Assuming you have good doctors, they will ask the right questions to try to determine how likely it is to be IBS. As far as what you can do to relieve the symptoms, I can offer a few general suggestions. But keep in mind that even for people clearly diagnosed with IBS, there is no single treatment that reliably works for most of us; everybody is different, whic...

I appreciate what you shared. We see a new doctor next week that I hope will help. Interested in the asacol and levsin--we will ask about. The Elavil did not help her and if anything aggravated some of the upper stomach issues. The last few weeks have been truly awful for her. Thank you for sharing info on the foundations.

It is hard to tell which is which because both display common symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain and such. IBS affects each of us differently. Like other chronic illnesses, finding what triggers an episode for you, what medication works for you and what doesn't is all trial and error.
