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
no i do not suffer from IBS.
oat and probiotics have no interaction. so no worry. do you have actimel in malaysia? it is a good common probiotic, fresh as well, way better then taking those dry powder formulation. and it is recently widely used for hospital in-patient when they are taking antibiotic course, to help in the gut flora. so you might want to give it a try.
those food that i mentioned are the common foods that trigger IBS in UK, a studied done by some IBS association IIANM. i have no idea how exactly they trigger ibs, but i could see the reason as they fall into two categories:
1. bulking agent (e.g wheat, rye), which increase volume of stool and making it easier to pass.
2. diuretics (e.g. caffeine, barley maybe) which removes water in the body, indirectly may cause constipation.
as for dairy product, even healthy people might get intolerance to lactose, or it can promote stomach movement leading to diarhoea. no idea for onion though.
you are taking the right / common medication for IBS, which is either to relieve discomfort, muscle cramp, or to reduce gut activity.
