Hello, thanks for the video! Sometimes when I pass bowel movements, I get this horrible/stressful/anxiety/world is ending/ feeling. I don’t associate the feeling to pain but more like extreme onset of anxiety and “unwellbeing”. I don’t relate this type of feeling to the panic/anxiety of a panic attack nor physical “pain” as I said earlier. However after my bowel movement passes, I feel fine. Sometimes it feels like I’m not done even when I’m pretty much finished passing.

IBS is embarassing and does negatively affect quality of life.

Probably the fats in it. Seems simple enough…don’t eat there.

78% of people with IBS have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that needs to be treated.

Dear Tryphena, People do get chemical sensitivity. You probably need to do a very gentle detox with food and supplements. You can probably find someone locally who can work with you on this. There are many chiropractors, nutritionists, and other clinicians who will understand you. If a simple detox doesn’t work, find a doctor through the Amer Academy of Environmental Medicine. These docs specialize in people with environmental issues.
I do phone consults too .

@TheKhurram11,
You need to findsomeone more integrative to work with. Look at the Institute for Functional Medicine website to see if there is someone in your area.

@olfan92
I am so sorry that you are feeling so badly. If you have already seen a doctor and a gastroenterologist and still don’t feel well, please do a consult with someone who looks larger. You may have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth or another type of infection that regular physicians cannot find. I work via phone, or you can find someone at the Institute for Functional Medicine who is more local. Did you try taking some probiotics? If not, they may be useful.

Dear Aznfire31,
First of all, if you haven’t seen a gastroenterologist, go to just rule out anything serious. Mucous can signal something serious OR nothing at all. But good to have it checked out. Ask about testing for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.
I would recommend then that you work with someone who can help. Look at the Institute for Functional Medicine website for a clinician in your area. And then many people, like me, also do phone consults. Too complex to just guess.

@olfan92 i was giving u suggestion… not facts about u.
im no doctor… but what u said was what i thought of. I dont no what u look like or what u feel. no words expresses it. I dont no nothing about u but im only trying to help open up some sort of help
if u dont want it then just dont say anything. this is the internet after all.

@aznfire31 you know nothing about me i cant even go to school thats how bad its for me..
Sep 2, 2010 1:50 am |
@olfan92 such as? if u have chronic diarrhea, i suggest u get tests fast, incase of … cancer =/.
i was where u were, an unknown step, why the pain… why should i suffer for this. well do what i do, ease the stress and build up your remaining strength to feel pain again, and test what’s causing it and what is not causing it. U may need to change ur diet to do this.
like other videos say, keep going to the doctor, feel like they r lying, change doctors until u get the result u want.

Hi, I got IBS-C, constipation and i dont think you have said anything about mucus stools? IBS comes and goes for me, I cant pin-point the food or any cause but i have pin-point certain food groups.
Oily foods or foods that uses oil, basically fried, tend to give my IBS-C. I never had IBS-D or any other. I may have gas but i’m not sure. My lower bowel hurts when i have gas but i cannot pass it, which causes more pain for me. I have also stopped drinking milk as i may be lactose intolerance.

I believe I have Chemical IBS from disinfectants used in the restaurant industry. I am currently using Dicyclomine (Bentyl). I used it regularly at first for about 6 months, now I use it if I am eating anywhere where it has been a problem in the past or if I feel any tension of the bowel.

@xeroxdream
You may have Chemical IBS. Watch disinfectants used in the restaurant business.

Thank you for understanding how IBS affects the lives of sufferers. My life has literally been controlled by my IBS for years. 3 mos ago I discovered (by accident) that milk was the problem and I now feel like I have a new lease on life. I take a calcium supplement in addition to acidophilis and a multi with iron every day. Thanks for great info!
