I have IBS for the last 10 years, suffering from the symptoms almost everyday, went to many doctors, did lots of tests but no results so diagnosed with IBS.
So desperately went online to see something that could make me feel better, read about probiotics so bought pearls IC, took 3 pills of them over 3 days, stopped after I started getting very bad stomach aches and nausea.
Has been 2 days since I stopped but not feeling better that I haven't slept for 3 days more than 6 hours total, anyone knows what should I do ?
To be honest I don't think I'll try anything else cause I'm scared it would get worse than that.
Hell Mak; I don't know a lot about IBS, except from what I do know, and if your are having serious abdominal pain, I would present myself to your local Emergency Department, as what you are suffering from now, may not be IBS...could be many things....you need to be seen by a Medical Oficer...x-rays, bloods, hopefully an ultra-sound...a FULL workup...there are many probs that can occur inside our bowel/intestines, and some can be of an emergency situation, so please consider going ASAP...hoping I'm wrong, but don't put off going...better to be safe than sorry...Bron
Hey, what are your symptoms like for daily before you took probiotics.
Daily: food takes forever to be digested, pain in my left bottom side (sometimes both left and right), heartburn, stomach ache (but not nearly as much as what I'm having now), loss of appetite (mostly I eat cause I should eat), can't focus
Sometimes my hands and feet gets really cold when I get sick (even if it's so hot)
Oh and bloating of course, always
HAve you done colonoscopy n endoscopy?
I don't have abdominal pain these days, sometimes I get it but not so often.
I did lots of blood and stool tests but all came out negative, the doctor referred me to a specialist but it's in 5 weeks and I have exams next week and the week after, that was the main reason I tried probiotics
No never, I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist but in 5 weeks, maybe he will ask me to do that
I done endoscopy last Dec, was traced of inflammation in my stomach. My symptoms were pain after eating when the food went in my stomach and many gases released.
Maybe lemon in water would flush you out. As much as you can drink. I do think the Candida is a common problem and that diet could be beneficial. I got relief from my stomach and throat problems when I took a milk thistle complex in tablet form. I may suffer twice a year if I am socialising and eating or drinking too much. It's supposed to be good for your liver too.
excatly why i dont take them
glad i am not alone there i thought i was the only one it happened to .
a nutranlist told me bone broth would be the best thing .
and also juiced cabbage is good but only for 3 days
if your knackered and need some sleep try taking some immodeum .to stop diroeh .that might help
Thanks, I would try lemon with water but usually anything acidic makes my stomach or colon worse, and right now I really wanna be careful not to make it even worse
Did you try taking probiotics ?
Can you tell me what happened if you did and how long it lasted ?
al ready said the same thing happens to me when i take them a couple of days in diroeh for days .
have you looked into activated charcoal caps supposed to be very good at clearing out toxins with out causing upset
Very good advice gillian I would also recomend soaking all high phytic acid foods over night to in lemon I've been soaking my brown rice in apple cider vinegar and lemons its cleanede out along with soaking other high phytic acid foods in salt.
I did it for 1 week solid it really did make a difference plus staying away from foods than can cause laxative problem.
Its a start but ya gotta be strict.
Same with changing oils in a diet it can take up to 3 months of commitment for it to really work
Yeah its OK but personally I would soak the carrot and cabbage for calslaw over night or take it from the soaking water as I need it prefably soak it in apple cider vinegar not muchjust 2 ttable spoon to one baking cup size of water
Can you share your story of why you recommend vsl (is it the VSL#3)Probiotic?
Yes. I too once took a famous probiotic which have many rave reviews in amazon but once i took it, my stools become very loose everyday for a week and begin to form stomach pain in my abdomen....from there I became probia of it but the pain still remain even though i stopped it for months....i have no choice but to visit my gastro doc and he intro this to me....i have no choice but to try and my amazement the discomfort is going away day by day and my stool is normal. My diarrhea once in a week also gone. But the cons of this is the price and need to be in cool place.
