I have been in a very bad IBS flare up for a little over a month can't clear it up. Have been eating only jello and broth popsickles drinking water Gatorade and apple juice still can't get well don't know what to do have lost 10 pounds that I don't have to spare my gi Doctor is no help at all please help me
firstly what do you mean by flare up? diarrhoea? pain? constipation? depending on what it is depends on what you have to do
very much pain in my stomach it even hurts to drink water very bloated a little diarrhea am very dehydrated and also I diabetic and my sugar keeps dropping on this liquid diet
Well since you are diabetic you might have to go to your gp/regular Dr as you don't want to cause complications with that.
If it's pain in your stomach it sounds more like reflux or gastritis than ibs. Have you tried taking antacids?
We think Gatorade is terrible for you and you should drinking water with fresh lemon and Stevia with lot of lemon
Go and see a doctor, try a different one if your normal ones wont help its best to get checked over if your loosing weight and have other health issues. Also try sticking to plain foods that are easy to digest. And maybe look at buscopan or immodioum to ease off your symptoms.
I am on my second gi Doctor right now I live in a small town and they are only two that take my insurance instead of Gatorade what about apple juice and I do drink a lot of water I have tried bland food with no luck back on liquid diet again have list five more pounds I weigh 85 pounds and I don't no what to do but it hurts to eat and drink anything the doc thinks it's all in my head but it's not I have reflux too and a hiatal hernia as well as IBS I will try the Imodium today thanks for your help if this doesn't work Im going to die and my doctor doesn't care I am very dehydrated have chills and alit of weakness and pain
I went to my reg Doctor but he just said to talk to my GI which I did and he won't give me any advice on diet
I also use mylanta but I think it makes my diarrhea worse
Your symptoms are due to not eating. Sometimes you just have to force yourself to eat despite the pain. Things like soup and toast and boiled eggs. I had bad gastritis and it felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach and I felt like I was going to throw up 24/7. I went for a while not eating but in the end you have to force yourself to. Ifyou have reflux and hernia I'd say do try antacids - found liquid works best. You can also get anti nausea med too which helped me. Try drinking rehydration sachets to re balance your electrolytes.
I don't have gastritis I just had a endo done on Friday he said just reflux And I have eaten bland foods like soup eggs yogurt toast nothing has worked so far and bananas even I do liquid Mylanta and I'm not nauseous just have tremendous pain in my stomach that goes up into my chest like a burning pain what are rehydration sachets
Rehydration sachets are powder that you put into water and drink. It will rehydrate you. But if your that worried about your health then ring the hospital or go to A&E.
I have been to the ear twice they didn't even give me pain meds one Doctor told me I was anorexic and should seek professional help really
Er
That burning pain is definitely reflux. You need antacids and get your omeprazole changed to something stronger.
