primitives being scatological

As usual, the primitives think it's "cool" to use acronyms.

What the Hell is "IBS"?

I'm guessing Irregular Bowel Syndrome, but I could be wrong.

My IBS is kind of driving me crazy.

I have IBS-D, but I've had less of the D lately, so to speak. More like going to the washroom just as often, but what comes out is solid, and I never feel like my colon is quite "empty". Gross.

It's that lovely time of the month, and the cramps from that and the cramps and junk from the IBS seem to feed off of each other. It's okay now, but for the last couple days, it was kind of like, for lack of a better term "OW SHIT **** PAIN". Okay, not quite, but let's just say there was a significant degree of discomfort.

Also, does anyone here with IBS have weird triggers? A couple days ago, I ate raisin bran with soy milk for breakfast, and was fine. I skipped lunch because I was too busy. Around 3:30, I got pretty hungry/thirsty, so I bought a green tea/juice drink from a convenience store. No artificial sweeteners, just tea, juice, sugar, and added vitamins. As soon as I started drinking it, I got that not-so-great feeling in my stomach.

Also, do supplements do anything (good or bad) for IBS? I'm taking iron right now, as well as b-vitamins for anxiety and flax oil for, well, a lot of things, including improving my immune system, making my skin less dry, and hopefully improving my memory and concentration. I hope none of the above are making things worse, although I can't do much about the iron because I need to take it.

One more thing. I feel like nobody's taking me seriously, possibly because of my age. I'm 17, are these kinds of problems rare in someone my age? Or do a lot of teenagers have crazy stomachs?

It's remarkable, the digestive problems primitives have.

Of course, it's based upon their fear of fiber in their diets.

1. well, i do know that chron's disease in kids is an epidemic of sorts. 

no one ever used to get it until they were in their 40's, but even pretty young kids get it now. my daughter was dx'd at 9. a friend of our was dx'd at about the same age, with the worst case the GI had ever seen. so, i imagine the same goes for other forms of gi trouble.

do you have a gi doc? have you been scoped, had the blood tests, all that?

how well do you sleep? low iron can cause restless leg, which can really ruin sleep. does you leg bounce when you are sitting still?

not much advice i can give you. except to say that sorting out what my teenagers find actually important, and what they think is important because it will get some rise out of me has always been hard. which is not to say that i thought they were lying. i don't think they really knew the difference, either.

by the time the kids are 17, the parents can be getting pretty worn out from the job.

2. The iron tablets are reducing the D part of your IBS-D

because they can be constipating. So thank goodness for small favors. If anything, it will keep you from being caught out in public with no public loo for miles.

The green tea didn't do that much unless you're super sensitive to stimulants, which might be the case. Try a non caffeinated soft drink or fruit juice next time and see how it goes.

None of the other supplements you're taking will have an effect on your problem and might even do you some good.

Okay, now I'm assuming IBS-D means Irregular Bowel Syndrome-Diarrhea.

3. Yeah, I've been on iron since forever, actually.

So I know it's not just that. Still, maybe it's because I'm taking a different brand, although the dosage is the exact same...

4. I found the same thing about the green tea.

I can't drink it when I am out and about. I drank it at a job one day and didn't make it to the washroom. Man was that embarrassing! I was diagnosed last year with IBS-D (I am 43) last year. It appeared to brought on by the overuse of antibiotics. I have kidney disease as well. I have one kidney and I am considered to be in "kidney failure" because it is operating at about 70% capacity right now. This last year has been the toughest due to the kidney and the IBS.

I have used some supplements such as acidopholus to help with eating breads. I use lactose pills for when I want milk.

5. I've got Crohns, and one thing my GI suggested (which helps a good deal, actually) is a particular type of pro-biotic called PB8. No downsides, except perhaps cost (I buy them online, and they're half the price of the health food stores).

Until my latest, and pretty long, flare, that was basically all that I was taking.

And he has me taking Fibercon tablets. Seems a bit counterintuitive, but it helps bulk things up, so you can feel a bit more regular.

Fiber found naturally in fibrous foods helps bulk things up too.

IBS-C is worse.

A couple of weeks ago I swear I was close to dying. I nearly passed out twice, at least.

The pain was incredible, felt nothing like that before.

IBS means Irritable Bowel Syndrome, I think.

I considered that too, but remember, the primitives try to be "cute" with acronyms.

By the way, it's not me--I was all over Skins's island today, and the primitives were unusually scatological.  It must be one of their rites of spring, to get this way for a while.

It must be their version of "spring cleaning", trying to get all the sh*t out of their system.

When it comes to DUmmies, I was thinking Ignorant BullShitters.

As for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, lay off the dairy products.

It works for me.  :innocent:

I would lay odds on sugar, myself.  I have no weird syndromes, but have had reactions to too much sugar.  (And some of the fake sugars are even worse.)  :(  :p

FGL, I have total sympathy for you! I had Irritable Bowel/Constipation/Diarrhea from the time I was 16-36 or so. I finally found out one of the things triggering mine was all the Wintergreen Certs I used to eat. I have no idea why mine went away, but as for the poster saying that there's a rampant outbreak of Crohn's in teens, I call BS. I think that every bowel disorder tends to get diagnosed as IBS or IBD now. I can aree that it feels like you are dying whilst in the middle of a horrid attack of it. Diet does affect it, and being a menustrating young woman seems to trigger it, also. Stress makes it way, way worse. Xanax helped my attacks. Diet is important, fiber necessary, but too much fiber, ouch! I find it odd so many of them over there are saying they have Crohn's. That is a big leap from IBS.

FGL, I have sympathy for you, I just didn't get to this thread till now.  Sorry for your terrible incident. 


That OP'er shouldn't skip meals like that and then substitute with something like green tea.  What did she expect would happen?  Pouring a liquid stimulant on an empty system?  Oh, for dumb.

Karin,

Exactly! Just as a greasy meal on an empty stomach can cause bowel distress. It isn't always IBS was my point though. Sometimes it's just poor eating habits, poor diet and lack of exercise that causes the old pipes to act up. Dumb is a cheap commodity at the DUmp.
