Dear Choclate, I think it is time we have a talk. You see although I do love you. I have decieded that you are just not right for me. I know this will come as a shock to you as we have been together for a long time. I remember the long nights studying for exams in college... you were there. I...

Thank you all. OK so whole wheat bread seems to be a no go with most of you. I think its a comfort thing with me. Feeling bad, so I just want toast. Eat the toast and then I get the bubbles. Will give all a try. Thanks again

what bread do you eat? I am trying to cut down on the bubbles and I think bread may be one of the culprits. I know many of you do not eat bread, but I just don't think I can live without it. I have tried making bread with almond flour, yuck! I am trying to find out if you all have a specific...

Hi Colt, so sorry you have gone though alot lately. Glad you joined this site there are alot of people here who will help you along the way.

I have taken a multi vit for the past year. When it was time to buy a new bottle, I bought the cheeper store brand. I didn't think it would matter. Now I am in a flair. I think the cause may have been the increase in Iron in the new multi vit. I agree with David... got be carefull. Wish my GI...

I don't have any problems letting it go. Everyone I work with knows I have CD and they can just deal. Now, I do try to walk away, or go to a different room. Sometimes that just can't be helped. I just hate the gurgling noises and the pain. It is annoying, I just wish there was a magic wand out...

I am a Rowasa user. I realy wish I could give you some good advice on this topic, but all I can tell you is how it works for me. It is helpfull, but at the same time I have now just put alot of liquid in the one place that dosen't want to keep it. So yes I think the medication part of it works...

Does anyone have any tricks/solutions to getting rid off gas? I have tried: Not eating the gasy foods. Beeno Gas x Hot tea I will take any suggestions. There are days my stomach is loud, then as predicted there is the pain then gas (always bad and at the worst possible moment). Any help would...

I also let my MD, and MD's nurse know I am traveling. That way if they get phone call from me they know I am calling long distance and will help me right away. This has been helpfull in the past when they were able to fax my medication information to me at a MD office in Ireland when a flair...

Thanks so much, its good to know Im not alone in all this. I don't know any other people near me who have IBS. Sorry about your camping trip. I realy don't want to cancle going home to Ireland, I know I will be ok at my parents house, but its the plane that is worring me, and wether I should...

I don't know if it would help, but are there any IBS support groups near you? You may meet ppl who are dealing with the same issues you have, but who you don't have to explain everything to. I don't think there is anything wrong with reaching out to others on sites like this. I have a SMALL...

I am not familar with that med sorry. I think you should keep calling your Dr's office and bugg him/her until they talk to you. I do know there are many other options out there. The very first med I was on was a sulfa based drug, and it made me so sick. Similar to what you are describing. I...

I have also had blurry vision, and dizzyness. Do you ever feel any heart palpations? There are quite a few ppl on here who have also had some issues with and irregular heart beat. Sometimes this is ok, and sometimes not. You should deff keep check on it and make sure you let your GI know...

So here I was thinking I was doing quite well for the past 2 years. I was exercising, working away, got married, new job.... eating salad! In mid June of this year, I noticed a chage in the pooping pattern (sorry to be gross, but I think everyone on here has heard it all). Not me, noooooo I'm...

I want to find a fair and eat one of those greesey burgers with all the fried ounions and green pepers on it. Then some fried oreos... just because I have never tried them they look like they would hurt. Large salad with sweet corn, pepers, olives, feta cheese, fried chicken strips, beets and a...

IV postassium it can sting. If stinging your arm ask them to try slowing the rate. This will mean you will have to stay connected to your IV for a little longer. They should be running it with a primary fluid like normal saline. Some hospitals get very picky when it states on the IV bag run...

First time I was admitted to the hospital ER triage nurse. "well your BP is low so you have bought yourself a bag of fluids, but you will have to wait we are full at the min and it will take us a good 2 hours to get to you." Ok what part about bleeding out my (#*#*( hole did you not...

Hummmm......I would love every public bathroom to have a secret drawer. That can only be accesed by someone with IBS to contain. Lots of TP (public bathrooms always seem to have none) Wipes, air freshner, clean underware that fits all sizes. Or even better secret public bathrooms that can only...

Welcome to the forum. I am glad you are feeling better. Sorry that you have been dx with this. Please be carefull. CD can be tricky. I would deff stay in communication with your doctor. Good luck. Woops!

Over the past 15+ years I have tried many treatments. During the early years of my CD I pretty much just took whatever I was given, and realy didn't take care of myself. It has only been in the past 10 years or so that I have actualy paid attention to what was going on more. I have tried. Sulfa...
