I have IBS and the book The First Year IBS by Heather Van Vorous made life way more manageable .
It's a bit complicated... as our 'gut' is typically unbalanced, these issues are common. A really good pro-biotic (24 strains + 300 Billion live organisms) is wise. Also, since we're typically Chronically Low in Blood Volume, it can cause Hypovolemia.. especially when having one's 'cycle' - Nausea & Diarrhea can result - then must get to ER for IV Drip Stat! Proper Hydration with Balanced Electrolytes are also essential.
I had I.B.S it is now diverticulitis or now they believe it is something worse. Yet I'm still waiting for a appointment. Always get it checked out. When I was in my early 30's I'd gone in for a colonoscopy. I had to be checked every 6 months as when diagnosed with I.B.S they found polyps 'oh I wasn't expecting that' said the doctor. Then came the diverticulitis, I'm on meds for chronic stomach pain. I'm waiting to go into hospital. I'm not holding my breath.
@joannaLed indeed I can't see her anymore. 👀 thank the good lord.
I wouldn't take medical advice of @A MyFibroTeam Member she thinks ptsd and bpd are not real! So all the other medical professionals are wrong and she is right! Haha what a joke!
Yes it’s called IBS-D…stay away from processed foods with hydrogenated oils, and heavy fats.
I have IBS-C (Constipated then IBS and diarrhea.
Like @A MyFibroTeam Member mentioned, a probiotic with 24 strains helps a lot. And my daughter gets what she mentioned with her periods, nausea and diarrhea.(plus dizzy) She handles that with iron pills and vitamin b’s. For taking iron , make sure there is bloodwork first . My daughter also follows the FODMAP, she has gassy stomach, nausea etc. It has really helped her.
