Hey, I joined this Forum so I could speak to other people with ibs as I'm not getting anywhere with the Doctors or on my own.
My problem came out of nowhere, one minute I could eat and drink whatever I wanted, the next day I had nausea, stomach pains and dizziness.
All I can eat is dry food, potatoes and fish. At first I could eat chicken but now, like anything else, it gives me diaherrea.
I've tried lots of medication for ibs to no effect, including peppermint oil caps. I already did Yoga for stress (but stress and worry doesn't affect me, nor does my monthlys). I eat small meals often. I have been told ibs is what I have, but I wanted the oppinions from others.
My most frequent symptoms (all symptoms are worse at night)
Nausea (all the time, though worse for about half an hour after eating. And worse at night)
Pain (In my stomach between the bottom of my rib cage and the top of my belly button, and it's like sharp stabbing pains)
Dizzy/faint
Tired, no energy
indigestion feeling
Muscle twitches in legs and arms
I've lost 4 stone in 5 months
Occasionally bloated, wind (though mostly through my mouth)
And seem to be better with the less I eat.
My stools are fine when I stick to potatoe and fish everyday, but if I eat anything else I get diaherrea for a day. If it is ibs I don't have it as bad as some people symptom wise, but I can't hardly eat anything.
I've had an X-ray, had tests for Crohn's, celiac and Thyroid. I've cut wheat from my diet 3 days ago and there hasn't been much effect so far.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to feel better? meds that work? Does it sound like ibs too you?
Thanks for all your help
