Well bless your heart! I know how awful it can be and it sure makes life miserable! I've got the diarrhea kind and I've been using lotronex and it seems to help! But if I take too much I get constipated! Now trying to eat small meals with not too much ecmxcitment, ie, spices! But some days the pain is so intense that I feel like I'm going to lose my mind! I hope you can't find someone who can help you'. I've had this for 30+ years! I guess I'm just going to have to find ways to control it with my diet and whatever medications I can get that will help! Most of my episodes are from stress!

Yes I get that too so really sympathize with you! I'm trying to change my diet drastically to see if I can at least tone down the attacks! Have stopped eating out and make my own dinners with as little spices as possible! But some days when I'm really stressed I will get a bad attack and spend most of my day looking for a bathroom! Then the severe dull pain starts in my lower abdomen all the way down my legs!

Please go to a Doctor. Or have you already been? If not, please go.  I have you in my prayers Irratable. Jay

Hi Jay was at the doc yesterday says it's my bowel, sent off a fax to the hospital for a.conaloscapy

Just replied on here to another post about lower back pain then noticed your post about your stomach being swollen!!

I'd been diagnosed with IBS and was getting a lot of bloating of the stomach up to my rib cage after food.

Short of it was I decided it was a blocked bowel so went for 6 treatments of colonic irrigation.... completely cured it and I've not had a problem since with bloating or IBS!!

13

Oh, and it also cured my lower back pain which was an added result! 😃

14

Did you buy the cleanse from a pharmacy? Or do I gotta get it done from a doctor?

15

Tonya, have you checked with a doctor first?  Because you can mess yourself up not knowing what the problem is first.  Colonic irrigation is done by a professional Natural Path Doctor or Herblist. You can not do it yourself.  You can do a cleanse on your own, but you must go to a health food store or herb store and they will let you know just what to do and how to do it and how long and how many times a year.  Hope this helps until Blu02 gets back with you.  Praying for the right thing to do for your problem. Jay

Thanks for your reply jay.. No I haven't talked to doc about this. I have IBS and thought it was just a colon cleanse. But I read up on it and thought I would get advice from my doc.. I get bad pain under my breast thru my rib cage. But thinking its my IBS flared up.. Xx

So do I tonya, but when I take my probiotics ever single day, I never have any problems with my stomach at all. But, I would check with my doctor 1st. Even before I went to a Natural Path Doctor, I went to the doctor to find out what they say I had, then I went from there with all herbs and food from the ground. But its always wise to check with your doctor 1st.  I am praying for your complete healing. Jay

Hi blue 02 glad it sorted your problem..mine is like that after eating swells up but eventually goes down but this time it's still swollen. Waiting on a conaloscapy

19

Hi Tonya. No this wasn't a cleanse, it was a course of 6 treatments given by a professional hydrotherapist!

Jay is right, you should do your homework first to see if this procedure is right for you. That link to the book I sent you gives lots of information... keep searching for the right way to go..

Thanks Jay for pointing out to Tonya to check with her doctor first.

Obviously I'm not a professional, although I've done lots of research on the subject and concluded it's a safe gentle procedure but everyone needs to check for themselves and not take for granted it's ok for them because it worked for somebody else! We're all different and what works for one may not work for another!!
