I am a person who have the IBS since 19 years old... i'm now 20 years old..
i'm suffered with this disease, but as i know, this disease cannot be cure, so i accept this truth.
at first, i'm strongly affected by those symptom, so i'm quite inconvenience once i back to
college ..those symptoms is come out when i eat something not suitable for my bowel, stress, not enough sleep
and etc...sometimes even taking less fiber for a day also will constipate in next day..

so, my studies are affected and my life was change from that day...so what i'm change?
- my symptom is come out when exam. i also know this is my psychological problems, but i difficult to manage at first.
- i'm not convenience go to trip, coz i'm sensitive in the meals that i take daily.Once i eat something not suit, my
symptom is come out
- not confidence in doing a lot of think..

so after around 6 month, that's a day, during final exam, i infected by a disease and trigger my IBS symptoms,
that time really suffered...so my mom's friend recommend me consult a specialist at Ipoh , Perak, . the doctor recommend me eat a medicine call, probiotics. As i know, Probiotics is a friendly bacteria that help us in digestive and abort nutrition. He said, when i cure, keep it eating the probiotic daily, it would help the people who have IBS.

as a result i felt that it has much helping in my life...my symptoms is getting less and not severe
so , i'm thanks to the doctor who prescribed me and those who invent probiotic...

so, who is the next have the IBS or ur friend even relative have, come on share your thought and experience..
fight IBS

hi youngkies, are u ibs ppl? why so interest and knowledgeable in ibs? Quite experiences ... i wanna share the thought to u. Yea, when at first my symptoms is coming, it is very worst. i may experience in diarrhea around 5 or 6 time in a day, sometimes constipate, when constipate i felt so pain the stomach and no appetite...after suffered one month, i go to consult a specialist and through the colonoscopy and CTscan, i diagnosed is IBS. Then, my symptoms is getting less when i get a suit treatment. Until now, sometimes i will have some gas or bloating, easy to get tire, felt that not strong than before, if i eat a lot of meat will getting constipate, diarrhea after getting too much fiber or eat something dirty or not suitable like fatty food, spicy...and now i'm weight loss around 47KG ,170cm

i got some question need to ask u, once i having probiotics everyday, i must eat oat in order to prevent constipate. so is it better i take everyday[oat and probiotics]? got any side effect?

you call me try to avoid food like wheat (in bread, cereal or even some noodle), rye, barley, dairy product, coffee (or caffeine containing drink, coke, tea etc), and onions. these are common food that will trigger IBS.

so what symptoms that wheat can trigger?

so what symptoms that noodle can trigger and why noodle can affect, is it the ingredients of noodle, what is that?

so what symptoms that barley can trigger?

so what symptoms that daily product can trigger?

so what symptoms that coffee and tea can trigger?

so what symptoms that onion can trigger?

can tell me details?? coz i need these for my rest of my life..thanks.

when i stomachache, i take duspatalin sometimes take hyoscience, when i diarrhea i take immodium, beamodium or lomotil, when i vomit i take maxolon...

Hi..selenium, maybe cigarettes will help u in the short run, but in long run, maybe u can eliminate a lot of IBS symptoms but u may get lung disease...this is my comment but no exactly correct..maybe sometimes depends on a ppl body systems. haha as a reference la..

thanks u all reply me haha..hope to see u all reply soon ..haha

anywhere thanks youngkies, actimel ? is one of the probiotics? i'm taking Lacto5 probiotics... r u interest in health? u have many knowledge about health, i think u r doctor..haha.. can i ask u a question, tell u a story first, a woman around 50 years old, but one day she suddenly get blooding in her urine so she go to consult doctor[General Hospital], at first the doctor suspect is STONES in bladder but eventually the urine test come out and the doctor said nothing happen, no STONES just the bladder not clean, go back and drink more water...so, u think is this secure?? Is it need any CT scan or any procedure to check more detail? Now the woman does not have any uncomfortable about the bladder..and the woman have the High Blood Pressure before this incident is happened.. so based on ur experience, what is the disease? or does not have disease at all?

Does High Blood Pressure will lead to Kidney Failure? Why ? Is it because of the side effect of the medicine? or what is the causes of Kidney Failure?

i also having the gas symptom of ibs, but it seems does not really suffered to me,i suffer from diarrhea, constipate or fatigue...but after i taking the probiotics, totally the ibs symptom is reduced or not severe. and i think u should take care about the food and meal that u take...some foods are easily get gas, like beans, milk, cabbage, peanut and etc...i'll get more gas after drink soya bean, so i avoid it. Actually probiotics i taking around more than 6 months, the effect is slowly coming...so i think u can have a try(may long try), and it would improve ur immune system too.
