Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone else suffers from IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)? I've had issues with abdominal cramping on and off over the years with symptoms varying from non-existent/mild all the way to doubled over in pain. My doctor suspects its IBS and has given me a prescription for Levsin/Hyoscyamine. It seems to work well.
I am having a flare in symptoms right now and I'm not sure why. I am not extremely stressed as with past flare ups. Well, my stress has increased, but not to the level of what spurred on past bouts of IBS. I suspect this time I'm sensitive to certain foods, whereas it wasn't this way in the past. I think the culprit is sugar and/or fat. It doesn't seem to be protein or other types of carbs, but I may be wrong. I'm going to restrict my foods for awhile so I can pinpoint the culprit.
If anyone also suffers from IBS, I'd love to hear how you deal with it (what kinds of meds you take, how you modify your diet, other ways you manage symptoms).
Thanks.
