I have IBS and tried promax extreme and it gave me awful diarehha almost as soon as I took it.

Maybe protein bars would be better, any suggestions for what would be good for someone in my unenviable position?

Try Bimuno It is a new prebiotic food suppliment which is in a form of powder. You just have to add powder in your food daily and you can see the difference in just 7 days.

I’m 11 weeks pregnant and for the past 2 weeks I have been having terrible stomach pains and diarrhea nearly every time I eat. I can’t relate it to any particular type of food and on rare occasions it doesn’t happen at all. Did anyone else have this?

I didn’t have that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it were pregnancy induced. Everything is shifting around inside of you and things are bound to be wonky for awhile. Talk to your doc, they may be able to give you something to make you more comfortable.

is there such a thing as pregnancy induced irritable bowel syndrome? is a post from: Treatment Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Some people say it’s regular constipation, some say it’s regular diarrhea, some say its constipation that comes and goes, some say it’s diarrhea that comes and goes, some say it alternates between the two, some say its BOTH at the same time.. like bowel movements that start hard and then get softer and then get runny toward the end…
I’m really confused.. what ARE the symptoms of IBS?

-abdominal pain and cramps, which may come in "on-again, off-again" bouts or as a continuous dull ache
-constipation or diarrhea, or alternating periods of both
-urgent need to have a bowel movement
-excessive gas
-bloating
-changes in bowel habits
-mucus in the stool

Hi, I’m Cordell Brown and I’m a CVS pharmacist. If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also known as IBS, you’re probably wondering what causes it and how to treat it.
IBS is caused by a bowel dysfunction. It’s hard to pinpoint what actually causes the bowel dysfunction, but the nerves and muscles in the bowel appear to be extra sensitive in people with IBS. The lining of the intestines is more sensitive to foods and swelling. due to either a nervous-system glitch or inflammation.
Others believe hormonal changes may also play a role, since IBS is more common in women and their signs and symptoms worsen during menstrual periods.
The strongest indicators of IBS are continual diarrhea and/or constipation. Other common symptoms are bloating; mucus in the stool; urgent bowel movements; straining during bowel movements, and incomplete emptying. All the symptoms of IBS tend to come and go, but often flare up in times of stress.
There’s no single treatment for coping with IBS, but you can find an approach that works best for you. Lifestyle changes are usually recommended first. Try recording everything you eat, so you can trace back your symptoms and see repeating patterns in certain trigger foods. Cut back on fat, alcohol, and caffeine. Exercise daily, and try relaxation techniques if you think your attacks are brought on by stress.
If lifestyle changes aren’t working, there are over-the-counter and prescription options that may be recommended. Over-the-counter fiber supplements help relieve both constipation and diarrhea, loperamide helps relieve diarrhea, and activated charcoal tablets can help relieve gas. If your symptoms are not in control and aren’t responding to other options, your doctor may temporarily prescribe medication that will ease the pain.
When you have IBS, it’s important that you find the method that works best for you. If you have any questions, talk to your doctor or CVS pharmacist, we’ll be happy to help.

While irritable bowel syndrome, or IBS, has largely been classified as a “functional” condition as opposed to being associated with organic pathology, new research published in the journal Gastroenterology suggests otherwise, as an analysis of the brains of these patients demonstrates structural changes in their brains.

Here are some important facts about irritable bowel syndrome:

- Patients with irritable bowel syndrome usually have abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea or constipation. Blood or mucous in the stool is not a feature. If they are present inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis may be present.

- Any change in bowel habits should warrant medical attention as this could represent an inflammatory bowel condition or cancer. If you notice blood in your stool you should tell your doctor.

- Your doctor may order a colonoscopy to look at the inside lining of your bowel if you have changes in bowel habits. This allows a specialist to search for inflamed areas or tumors. In patients with irritable bowel, no abnormal areas are detected.

Researchers from UCLA and McGill University hypothesized that IBS may be related to structural changes in the brain. To perform their study, they looked at brain images from 55 female IBS patient and compared them to images of 48 control subjects who did not have this condition. They found that the brains of those with IBS had more grey matter in certain areas, and less in others. Specifically, increased grey matter was seen in the prefrontal and parietal cortex and in the posterior insula. The posterior insula is known to play a role in central pain amplification and may serve to heighten pain signals in patients with IBS.

They were also able to show that other areas of the brain had less grey matter. Some of these areas are important in attention and pain suppression.

Today’s research is a step forward in showing that irritable bowel syndrome is a medical condition that is not “functional” but rather one that is rooted in changes in the area of the brain that are involved in how we interpret pain.

I read somewhere that IBS-PI is curable after a stomach bug, but it takes years to get to that stage. Does this mean it’s completely curable or just relievable?

I would suggest to you that an important component of irritable bowel is nerves….. your gut has the second largest collection of them in body and is very sensitive to emotional and psychological influence- for example, when people get colonoscopies done its been observed that if they hear the doctor say some phrase as "look at that!" the colour of their colon instantly blanches as nerves respond to the believe something bad has been spotted and constrict blood vessels within seconds.
Thus if you got a bad infection, had a lot of diarhoea, maybe took a lot of loperamide to counter this, lost a lot of salts and were generally weakened by the infection it might just have caused you to psychologically adopt the symptoms of IBS out of dread of bouts of diarrhoea, which afterall, must be the worst illness to have … makes travelling, work etc difficult
