IBS

[Anonymous No.16927431]

ibsfags, how do you cope? trigger foods are a myth, everything I eat hurts my tummy and makes me shit painfully (even not eating anything). Is there really no hope?

This is the gayest lifelong disease you could have because you can't even complain about it without seeming like a weak faggot. I loathe having to eat these days. If I could just inject nutrients into my bloodstream I would.

You could try a low residue diet which eliminates a lot of fiber so you don't have to poop as much. I tried the carnivore diet which helped but I struggled to get enough calories and I still kind of had diarrhea every few days. I've just been drinking a lot of milk lately and not eating/drinking anything else which actually seems to be helping, but that probably won't work for most people.

I also figured out I had an allergy to wheat and nuts which probably wasn't helping. So you might want to get tested for food allergies or do an elimination diet to figure out if anything in particular might be bothering you.

I think I have that one too. One day I will have constipation and barely poop anything. The next day I will be pooping out a small hard poop and then the rest comes out like mud, and it takes forever for it to all come out. takes like 1-2 hours depending on how bad.

I had IBS for years and got rid of it in one swoop when I just couldn't take it anymore. In my case I just needed enough willpower to make the hard choices.

Step 1 was to establish that diet could fix it. So I ate nothing but chicken and rice for a week as a test. It worked, after the first few days my poops were perfect. If this didn't work I would have tried something else like fish and potatoes, I dunno, just some kind of bare minimum you can live on for a little bit.
Once I established that safe diet, I just added new foods to it one at a time, logging everything. Step by step I added more ingredients to the whitelist while avoiding foods that consistently caused problems. Still adding stuff, but I've built up a good amount of variety in my diet now, plus I have nearly perfect poops and no more diarrhea at all.

The catch obviously is that you need an iron will, you're basically fucked for eating out or even prepared foods and you have to cook everything from scratch. Hell, until you build up a good whitelist even most recipes are off limits. And if you want to get all the food back you still have to find the root cause and fix it. But so long as you can pass step 1 it does work.

By FAR the strongest was either wheat or gluten, not sure which as I haven't tested either in isolation. Getting rid of that removed like 90% of my issues. Second worst was actually xanthan gum, which I wasn't expecting. I actually verified that by taking a little alone with water, fucking disgusting but it confirmed it 100%. Baking is difficult.
I have a more mild reaction to lactose, beans, garlic/onions, and other fodmaps, but it's mostly just bloating unless I overdo it. Anyone with IBS should at least look that stuff up though, if only to get ideas of what might bother them.

My poops are great now, they come out nice and long and I barely need to wipe at all. I can just sit, go, and leave in like a few minutes. I never thought I'd ever have a normal digestion again so I'm pretty happy about that desu.

Keep in mind the elimination diet didn't do that right away. Cutting triggers got rid of all my painful cramping and diarrhea almost instantly, which was worth it on its own. But normal considerations still apply, you need a good diet to have great shits. Chicken and rice alone won't do that so I had rabbit or sticky shits on and off at first. Not painful, just not perfect.

I usually eat simple meat starch and veg meals for now. So like steak mash and green beans, or roast chicken carrots and rice, etc. Low-lactose dairy is fine so I'll make cacio e pepe or mac and cheese with gf pasta, lactaid and hard cheeses. I started with just salt and pepper but by now I have a decent collection of safe spices to use, the lack of onion and garlic still fucking hurts though. I still have some gas issues which would probably go away if I dropped carbs completely, but I'm not desperate enough for that yet.

Root cause is still important, I'm pretty sure my issue is my small intestine microbiome is fucked, trying to fix it over time but it'll probably be a slow process.

i've suspected i had this for a couple of years. i'm 32 and the past couple of years i've needed to shit three times a day and it takes me like 15-20 minutes per shit. and then for the first two shits which are in the morning, i can go shit again in less than an hour after the first one. i don't -need- to, but if i don't, i'll just feel like shit for the rest of the day, or i'll need to go at some point. my shit's mostly sticky and unsolid, although i still have a regular normal shit from time to time. sounds like the symptoms are similar.
i generally don't eat junk food but i do drink once a week. so far i haven't been able to isolate a root cause even if i've tried to avoid trigger foods. but not eating bread is the one thing i haven't tried

If you're allergic to it then the symptoms will probably be more severe when you try it again if your system was able to start healing. When I cut out wheat for a month and then tried it again my symptoms seemed worse. I woke up in the middle of the night after eating a small dish of pasta because my joints were starting to hurt and I had a little trouble walking for a couple days. I also had diarrhea the next day that burned really badly. It was still worth it to figure out that I shouldn't be eating it though and I still feel a bit better now.

These are the most common food allergies so you might want to try cutting them all out if possible for a few weeks. Then try one thing on the list on its own and wait 8 hours or so to see if any symptoms appear.

A lot of this sounds like it could just be from eating too many carbs and not enough fat/protein. I don't think carbs are inherently bad but I've felt similarly after eating too many without enough fat and protein. Carbs are also a good food source for bacteria in your digestive system which can be a good thing but also produce gas, especially something like beans. But it doesn't sound like you have IBS or something like that since you don't have any issues pooping.

After doing an elimination diet, I tried eating some nuts again and started to feel kind of sick and dizzy. So it's possible you might be allergic to something though if you really feel like you have brain fog bad enough sometimes. But I've also felt that way after just not getting enough fat and protein, like my stomach would be full but instead of focusing on something else I'd just be thinking about eating a bit of meat/cheese/eggs instead.

It depends if you have an allergy or just an intolerance. Food intolerance usually means you only get some digestive issues if you eat too much of something so then a little bit of flour might be fine. If you try it and get digestive issues but also other symptoms like a rash or joint pain or dizziness then you probably have an actual allergy and need to completely avoid it altogether, as even small amounts could still be damaging your digestive system or lead to worse reactions later on.

Man I think I need to try an elimination diet. I was denied assistance through the ACA for health insurance last night so going to actually get checked out and diagnosed is off the table; thanks, America.

My farts smell awful. I bloat like crazy. Pooping goes from normal solid logs, to clumps, to watery piles, to mud... Not in that order but it varies widely how I'm going to poop. This started probably a year and a half ago. Some days I'm fine with no bloating, other days I'm lying in bed farting non-stop. I've not had any weight loss and it seems isolated to GI issues so I really doubt it's stomach or colon cancer. I'm thinking IBS, Crohn's or an intolerance to one of more things. All I know is that I hate it, it's made my life awful, and I might blow my brain out one night.

After pooping 4-7 times a day, usually with mucous or blood, and getting some abscesses (confirmed through an MRI scan) I was put on Inflectra (lots of other meds initially).

I fucking love modern medicine. I don't have to die at age 24 cus of it!!!! WEEEEEEWHOO!!

I wanted to cry at the store cus there was nothing I could buy to eat. Thank FUCK i was finally diagnosed with Crohn's after 6 months of shitting my innards out.

I told this to my GI doctor and he said diet doesn't fix the issue. Liquid diets (boosts and ensures) are cited to work ok with children however.

i was on pred for 4 years straight which is a huge 'never do this' situation. it made me bloat up in the face and caused me osteopenia but it was the ONLY thing keeping me from having dehabilitatign ass pains (95% of my crohns is in the colon/rectal area) which felt like passing glass every 2 hours.

i found a gf who was with me when i was having a decent passible time, when i told her i was getting worse and i needed a poop bag she stayed with me through it all. our relationship is rocky now for other reasons but its not easy to cope knowing i will probably never find another girl once they know i have a bag on my abdomen. i have a laundry list of deficiencies and honestly some days i have to tell myself, i just may not live to 60.

Which side are the pains on? For me it's on the left side just under the ribs and seems like it's a post-poop thing, so presumably it's my descending colon. I went on a liquid diet for weeks, not pooping at all, and the pains seemed to slowly go away. I gradually increase grains, start pooping again, things seem fine. Then I go a bit too heavy on the corn flakes, have an absolutely massive series of shits, and the pains come back, which went away again after a low-fiber diet.

I remember taking retinoids when I was younger too, although for the most part it cleared my acne but I had to adjust my diet to basically eat no dairy products, or fast food.
Also I meticulously washed my clothes and sheets maybe twice a week since that would flare up my acne if I didn't or if I didn't shower often enough( usually twice a day).

This might have been the beginning of my IBS before I had IBS. I also did start anxiety meds before this which may have aggravated my acne.

the only real test for Crohn's is a colonoscopy wherein they biopsy some of your tissue.

Pray you don't have it, the long term implications for people with Crohn's are fucking awful.

we watched a documentary on this in parasitology during our discussion on the hygiene hypothesis and well, it's kind of bunk. It works temporarily because the worms do secrete anti-immune chemicals to hide from the immune system, but in the end the body adjusts back to square one, and others end up worse than before in their disease progression. None of the worm treatments have gotten past early stages in clinical trials for that reason.

taking the wrong dose of antibiotics, the wrong type, not taking them long enough, not eating correctly while doing so. There are a myriad of other risk factors that I can't even name because who the fuck knows exactly what goes into gut microbiome health. Even if you were to do all those things correctly, there's basically a guarantee that some type of bacteria in your gut is resistant to the antibiotics you took, and those will likely thrive, potentially leading to a bacterial overgrowth even if they're the good kind. There's a reason this treatment isn't prevalent, and it's because it's not guaranteed to work. I'm glad it worked for that anon but really, it's not advisable to do this at all.

are you saying you cured it? was it diagnosed or did you just have problems after eating wheat? because that sounds more like you just had trouble digesting something since celiac is an allergic reaction to protein.

fasting and cutting out all carbs for a little bit is probably a safer way to lower the amount of bacteria in your digestive system in an attempt to get rid of some of the bad stuff though. doctors were never much help for me but i think i'd rather try to get some kind of testing done that proves i have a problem with bacteria and need antibiotics instead of messing around with them on my own.

I see. If you feel it helps then just keep doing that. Have you ever tried tea instead though? I felt like tea made me poop but never gave me diarrhea. I actually noticed an improvement when eating chocolate though. But it has to be a good high percentage chocolate bar with as little sugar as you can stand, or making hot chocolate just with cocoa powder. I'm guessing it's because chocolate is fermented and digests slowly but it made me start having solid poops again. Have to be careful though because too much can quickly be constipating.

If you seem to have diarrhea all the time no matter what though and you've eliminated any specific foods as a cause, you could try doing a basic low residue diet which minimizes how much you have to poop. By getting rid of a lot of fiber and harder to digest foods.

How'd you actually do anything about it, I'm not really sure. I know people take proton pump inhibitors like prilosec and nexium to reduce acid, to help with heartburn, so maybe that might be a thing for gut health too? idk.

Oh, and a lot of this shit is just tied to immune system horseshittery. The intestinal wall has immune cells out the ass (because there are so many bacteria in there, you don't want to let anything bad through) and if some of them malfunction you can develop things like lactose intolerance or other food allergies. Not much you can do about it once your body decides you're allergic besides insane allergy treatments. Honestly fuck immune systems.

Fortunately, I had a major breakthrough by making my own yogurt with lactose-free milk, it's quite easy. You get all the probiotics and protein without any downsides, and no additives that can bother your gut either. In fact, it's easier to use than normal milk since those milks are usually ultra-pasteurized so you can skip the boiling.
If you try it I recommend fairlife since it has extra protein which makes the yogurt come out nice and thick, I don't bother straining it.

Through trial and error I've discovered my body literally wants the opposite of any official "healthy" recommendations.

>whole grains = misery, a tiny of serving of oats made me feel like shit all day
>white rice is okay especially short grain aka the emptiest carbs imaginable
>leafy greens mess me up but potatoes are fine
>meat digests great, way better than veg
>fatty cuts of meat are better than lean cuts, hell I can even have some whole grains if I have it in a meal with greasy pork.
>refined sugar is great but honey is risky

My guts are literally fucking contrarian.

>>16932548
>are minimal amounts of wheat like however much flour you'd use to thicken up a stew fine?
If you have issues with wheat, there is absolutely no reason to use flour to thicken a stew, whether you can tolerate it or not. There are so many other ways to thicken that work better, like a cornstarch slurry.
If you really need a roux, try sweet (short-grain) rice flour instead, it works just like flour for making sauces like bechamel etc.
The gluten in wheat flour is only really critical for baking, not cooking.

Yeah I think that's possible. You probably want to try eating stuff with probiotic bacteria but also with fiber so that it'll slow down digestion a little bit to give the good bacteria some more time. Plain yogurt with bananas might be good. I had some improvements after eating some unsweetened chocolate, which most people probably won't like but maybe an 85% cacao bar would help. Raw sauerkraut is good too if you can get or make that.

All my issues started in my early 20's as well. Over the span of a couple months I was suddenly unable to eat anything with fructans in it.

Supposedly lactose intolerant people can have about 12g of lactose before symptoms start appearing, so try just eating small amounts of it. Like the other poster said, most harder cheeses have almost no lactose so you should still be able to eat them. Instead of using milk for mac and cheese, you could try using a lactose-free milk, or use beer instead which is commonly paired with cheese for that kind of stuff too.

You'd have to eat like 5 pounds of cheddar cheese for it to equal the amount of lactose in just 8 oz of milk so you probably don't have to worry about cheese. But you might want to be more careful with stuff like cottage cheese or cream cheese that will have more lactose.

I had IBS-M for 3 years after a bad round of Antibiotics. I went to the best doctors in Boston (Harvard, BU, Beth-israel etc.) and they did absolutely fucking NOTHING for me. It got so bad I had to drop out of school for a bit. Here's what I did.

Via Positiva / what to add
1) Probiotics - Pills are fine, natural is better
> Raw Kefir
> Kombucha
> Raw Milk
> Sauerkraut and pickled foods
2) Bone Broth - this shit has collagen and vitamins/minerals that are known to restore your gut lining. I drank this every day or put it in a soup for dinner and my gut hasnt seen a bad day since

Via Negativa / what to take out
1) seed oils - fuck you up hard and destroy your gut lining stay far the fuck away from canola oil, soybean oil etc. Replace everything with coconut/tallow/butter/lard
2) Sugar - do not eat processed sugar it destroys the good bacteria in your gut.

You can look all of this stuff up, im too lazy to, but the takeaway is this:
1) NEVER TRUST DOCTORS
2) DO NOT TRUST "OFFICIAL" HEALTH RESOURCES - Harvard public health eating guidelines will make your IBS so bad you cant handle it. I am speaking from experience
3) Eat Raw and fermented animal products as much as possible.

Lard is awesome. Dont replace olive oil, at least not exxtra virgin!!! that stuff is not seed oil because its not created from high heat expelling. I mean canola/soybean/corn/sunflower oil.

oh i mean if i eat more than 25grams of oats I usually get bloated to hell. but 25grams and less is fine, which I used to do in the mornings.

I think I might be leaning on a more keto diet. But basically most of my diet currently has no direct carbs like bread/toast/pancakes etc. but I think I am still somewhat constipated still. So I am assuming extra fiber would help.

I had the same thing for months/years and always thought I was constipated somehow, because of course there's nothing coming out despite having to go urgently. Turns out it I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, "[...] people with UC may experience urgency or rectal tenesmus, which is the urgent desire to evacuate the bowels but with the passage of little stool." (wikipedia) You should really see a gastro enterologist if you haven't already, stop telling yourself it's normal (like I did for years), suffering all the time.

UC is a lifelong chronic disease which usually worsens over the years until you literally shit blood and which can only really be cured by removing the large intestine, dunno if that sounds serious to you, it's kinda like Crohns, maybe not as bad, but still fucking bad. But really, you have the whole internet at your disposition, I know what people say about self-diagnosis on the web, but just research a bit and maybe you'll notice other common symptoms you might have. Anyway see a specialized doctor ASAP, not trying to make you panic here, but the first step is knowing what you have and you'll usually feel a lot better after a diagnosis, there's medication for everything.

Just drink half to a liter of kefir every day. Buy cheapest milk, mix in kefir, keep at room temp for a day and you will multiply your kefir. Don't waste your money buying kefir. You can make your own as long as you have kefir grains or some kefir. Drink milk. It's alkaline. You probably have a very acidic body. You're white, you were made to drink kefir and milk. Be strong.

Anyone get stomach cramps almost exclusively in the morning? Waking up at a regular time (before 9) increases the chance of stomach cramps and explosive diarrhea exponentially, I pretty much cant do anything in the morning without contingency plans for it, which is really disruptive for any kind of routine starting before noon. I basically wake up at 11am every day now to avoid it as much as possible, but when I had a schedule to wake up early I basically had cramps and diarrhea every single day and had to map out where I was to find the least frequented bathrooms to go to. Gastro doc said they didnt know why and just classified it as ibs and to try paleo but it didn't really help.

Hey there SIBO buddy!
What's funny is I never got this bloated before the breath test but it inflated me badly and apparently permanently. This fucking gas won't go away. Rifaximin did nothing. There is only bloat.

Diet does help though, I made the mistake of trying 22g of oats and felt miserable and constantly nauseous for days. Now I'm minimizing fiber and no fodmaps and I'm kinda alright. Although the bloat is STILL THERE ALWAYS.

i used to have this whenever i overate, and was overweight. i think that if you wake up earlier your poop is going to be more wet and diarrhea like consistency. if you wake up later your poop is actually more dry because u have gone without water for a while.

i used to have cramps in the morning, which made me run to the bathroom and basically explode out shit as I wake up. now i mostly just blow out a lot of gas and I just sit on the toilet for a while to get my poop out. I don't really like either situation.

I read a little into this cookbro, basically sometimes it may or may not actually turn all the milk into kefir. which may or may not give me diarrhea if it doesn't work out.

I'm not that anon but his advice sounds a bit sus. Leaving milk out at room temp for a day without qualification doesn't sound reliable. That said, if milk spoils you'll notice.
Normally to culture milk you want to sterilize it first (bring to 180F), then add the culture and keep it under optimal conditions. You can skip that with already-sterile UHT milk. I make yogurt which means you have to keep it at 100-110F but I don't know about kefir, maybe room temp is fine?
No matter what, if you keep reusing the previous batch to make the next you're likely to have a failure eventually as its balance gets out of whack or something. My yogurt was able to chain 7 batches and then failed. Make sure you know what success looks like, for yogurt it's easy, it's safe if it set and dubious if it didn't.

Experimented for a couple of weeks with removing foods from my diet and it really worked. It worked quickly too. Not two days went by without eating bread, eggs or onions and my shits turned normal.
I'm not even mad. I had a lot of fun these 35 years of eating normal food as a gourmand, probably ate more interesting and high quality food than most people do in their lives. But if removing bread, eggs or onion will let me have normal bowel movements and no bloating, discomfort or stomach pain, I'm ready to accept it. Well, I'll still probably allow myself to eat the odd forbidden ingredient on special occasions and if the special occasion is on a Friday and I have nowhere to be over the weekend so I can freely shit my guts out. But in general, I'm ready to cut out all these foods for a better quality of life.

Mine stemmed from an eating disorder I had as a teenager. I think it's because I grew up in a ludicrously private family, couldn't even fart around family members as a child. To this day, my brain physically denies me from shitting unless I have total privacy, which causes obvious problems. I think antidepressants might help but I haven't tried them yet

I'm in my early twenties dude. Yeah I really avoided relationships because of my poop problems. Like could you imagine after sleeping with a girl then the moment we wake up I have to go running to the toilet and well usually my poop comes out either exploding out with loud noises or I just fart a lot.

yup same. and in our house the toilet is positioned in such a way that there's constantly people passing it by and smelling your shit. and you can hear conversations happening literally inches from you while you're shitting. my parents can't understand why that bugs me and they keep trying to talk to me while i'm in the can
nowadays i can only shit late at night after everyone has gone to bed or early in the morning before anyone is up. that's if i'm back home. i actually live alone now and i shit whenever i want to but i don't know how i could cope if i was living with a girlfriend.
kek, to be fair, some girls have this autism too. i know of one who after moving in with her bf asked him to go out and stay on the balcony while she was in the toilet so he couldn't hear her fart and shit.

I sometimes do that because I try to force myself to go every morning so I don't have to poop while I'm at work or doing something in public. Usually sometimes comes out after pushing and shoving. But if it doesn't I feel like I permanently have leftover poop in my stomach for the rest of the day.

Low dose antidepressants are given not to improve your attitude about being sick. They are supposed to dull the nerves around your digestive system so it doesn't freak out all the time.

That probably means the earlier foods digested easily and that the later ones didn't. I would guess based on both your schedule and my own experience that the oatmeal and carrots worked well and that the beans were the messier part.

o forgot the mention I didn't eat beans that day. I think it was the pidser that didn't work well. but I ate it like an hour or 2 before bed so I don't think it all digested yet.

I kind of do this too, its because if I feel my stomach drop and start to get cramps when I am out, I have to spend the rest of the morning or afternoon managing it because my gut doesn't immediately void itself and I have to wait while the cramps get progressively worse.

For me it never got as bad as chronic IBS but I've had years of issues of reacting to commonly irritating foods (such as bad skin reactions and generally feeling terrible if I ate something I shouldn't have). Foods such as wheat, chocolate, coffee, sugary desserts, dairy, eggs

>>16951670 has worked for many, but a lot of people may only need to go as far as doing the AIP diet instead of the GAPS diet which is very very restrictive.

AIP has helped me out a lot. After a while of doing AIP I attempted to give my gut flora a hand in building better populations. I took 600mg NAC at the start of a meal (helps to break biofilms) and it's generally a no-risk supplement (but you have to make sure to take it with food). I then took a capsule of oregano oil or berberine right after finishing a meal to help kill any undesirables. You don't want to take oregano or berberine for longer than a couple weeks at a time before giving it a break for about as long or longer. And you don't want to repeat this too often. Then a few hours before bed I ate a decent sized portion of kimchi or saeurkraut by itself.
.
Other supplements I took for my gut but I wasn't strict about: gelatin mixed in hot water, zinc-l-carnosine (for gut lining), occasional copper supplement (like once or twice a week for several weeks), l-glutamine

I can't load my digestion with a ton of sugary desserts still without consequences, but compared to before it's not a big deal to have an occasional slice of bread with cream cheese, or a few pieces of chocolate. The reactions have lessened a lot. It sucks to eat so restrictive to keep from feeling shitty, but it's doable.
