HI Livvie

Here are some ideas to heal the issue. Drink up to a gallon of water a day and learn about colon cleansing are the 2 most important steps in healing quickly.

Causes
IBS can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and nutrition, food allergies, imbalanced levels of hydrochloric acid, impaired immunity, infections, lack of exercise, pharmaceutical drugs, and stress.


Quick Action Plan for IBS

1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.

2. Emphasize organic, fresh vegetables and non-citrus fruits, organic grains, as well as organic, free-range meats and poultry and wild-caught fish.

3. Drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day.
Cleansing (especially colon) and Detoxification therapy such as short fasts, elimination diets, and colonics.

4. Enteric-coated peppermint oil and aloe vera juice.

5. Soothing baths two to five nights a week, as well as alternating hot and cold water packs placed over the abdomen.

6. Use Probiotics and soil-based organisms.

7. Therapeutic juices include wheatgrass juice; cabbage, papaya, and carrot juice.

8. Stress reduction techniques, such as biofeedback, hypnosis, and meditation.

9. If you are a smoker, stop and refrain from taking aspirin or other NSAIDs.

10. Examine the possibility of withheld emotions as the cause of your symptoms and get support through emotional and physical expression, especially movement therapies such as NIA, Qi gong, Yoga or Total Integration Therapy to name a few options.

Best of health to you

i don't know what you've tried. walmart has a good liquid laxative, kind of tastes like sprite (but worse, for sure) and it works fairly quickly for me. is it possible to have too much fiber? i think it might be. perhaps you should try to eat less for a bit and let your stomach work itself out. also, you might not want to think so, but it could be mental as well - is there something going on that you are tense about? it's not joke that if you are tense in your mind you can be tense in your body.

You said you haven't had a good bowel movement in 4 days, & you eat lots of fiber& you take laxatives. Right ? Well it sounds like you need to either go to see your family Dr.I'm pretty sure you won't be worse for wear, but you may also need to go with a Fleets Enema. I know it sounds gross, but sometimes it takes "gross" to get the job done. Being as you say you are only 14 ,you really should talk with your Mom or Dad before doing anything. But then again you may be just one of those people that don't have a bowel movement daily. Good luck
