Hey everyone, it was only a few days i started getting serious gas stomach pains, which would continue to come and go, move around my stomach like cramps, and I could feel the remains and know it was still there whilst touching my stomach, with a mix of diarrhea, small and hard stools.
Before this, I would have minor bouts of diarrhea, and it would go in a day, now this has continued for three days, and you know I dont care anymore, im used to it, and its sad but i got hope it will go away again (hopefully not in a year again lol), but yeah of theres any suggestions would be kind, but i have tried nearly everything to put it away a year ago, and i didnt know what did the trick. But all good if not. Im 18 and other symptoms include:
chest pain (after ibs ended) and phelgm sounds in chest
stomach sounds, movement (cramps)
feels in remission when Im asleep (or just wake up)
painful lol
thanks
The best you can do is take antispasmodics and painkillers, try distraction techniques like a hobby or light exercise, avoid your food triggers if you have any and try to stay as calm as possible. Take plenty of fruit or a laxative for constipation and imodium for diarrhoea. IBS does not go away completely and you will have periods of remission and flare ups. Anxiety flares up IBS.It is trial and error to find what helps your IBS and everyone has different solutions. Your flare up will clear in its own time and you can only wait it out.
Hey Jonathan, first of all I am happy that you were fine for almost a year. Congratulations.
Well some anxiety or food trigger might have started the symptoms.
For time being you can try whatever you tried a year ago.
It is never a bad idea to keep continuing the diet for IBS which suits u for life, It will keep you healthier. do exercise and enjoy.
hope you get well soon.
