IBS (or Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

ok so an hour ago i was in bed going to sleep and then all of a sudden i had a really bad stich and i mean really bad like someone was cutting into me or like me rips were going to snap and they kept happening every 5 mins,

after about 7 times of it happening i started to feel really cold so i jumped in to a really hot bath and then the stiches kept comming after about another 10 times i went to the toilet in the bath it was really really bad diarrhea and a lot of it,
but now i feel ok and the pains have gorn,

so my question is should i go see the doctor incase if its IBS (or Irritable Bowel Syndrome) or could i of just been constipated?

oh and yes i know this is a really funny question but i need to know

Hi Cille


If your colon is bunged up, it can start to cause all sorts of health problems in the body. Eat lots of fruit and veg, include plenty of fiber in your diet and buy a colon cleanse from a health food store or online if necessary. It's also good to get some colonic irrigation. It makes you feel so clean inside and you get the urge to put only good food in your body after you've been cleansed.

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water, herbal tea or unsweetened juice each day
2. Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper
3. Eat every two hours, by having healthy snacks in between meals. Eating frequently increases your metabolism.
4. Eat lots of fruit and veg.
5. When having potatoes, rice or pasta, just have a small portion.

1) Eat at least 5 servings of different fruits and vegetables every day. Don't eat any junk/snack type food until you've had at least 5 fruits/vegetables.

2) Stick to whole, unprocessed foods such as whole grains, beans, fruits, vegetables, nuts. As much as you can, try to eat foods that don't have a brand name! So, for example, eat oatmeal (you can buy oats in the bulk bin of most grocery stores) instead of Honey Bunches of Oats.

3) Eliminate partially hydrogenated oil and high-fructose corn syrup completely.

4) Drink a gallon of water instead of soda. If you really want juice, make it a nutritious juice, such as orange juice. Apple and grape juices have very little in the way of nutrients.

5) Minimize animal products, especially fatty ones, as much as possible.

6) Learn about colon cleansing every quarter to remove excess waste and toxins out of the body. You'll be better in no time.

Best of health to you

see if it happens again, if so see a doctor immediately

probaly constapated
then your stomach sent acid to melt the backed up feces causing it to be diarrhea

eat lots of fruits!!

So you mean to tell me that you were in a tub full of feces? That is so gross. It sounds like a one time bout of diarhea (sp.).

I think you should go to the doctor no matter what. Maybe its not IBS, but it doesnt sound normal either.

No, it isn't a funny question. Everyone has issues like this at one point in their life. It does not sound like IBS to me but I do think you should see a professional. If you think you are constipated you may want to go to the pharmacy as they will be able to recommend something until you can see a doctor. A normal, healthy adult doesn't get constipated unless their is an issue usually.

I think you just had to go. I would wait to see what happens before you go to a doctor.

Has it happened before......if so i would go......you could also have an obstruction or something........plus you need to keep plenty of liquids down.....

it sounds like you have a stomach virus or food poisoning or something. IBS is more of an ongoing chronic thing. if the diarrhea has stopped and youre feeling better then i'd say you're fine now. drink lots of water and eat plain white yogurt and stay away from greasy foods while you're sick. if you're sick for more than a few days then definitely go see a doctor.

It could be something other than IBS. Maybe Crohn's Disease? Maybe diverticulitis?

Go to the doctor now, rather than waiting. That pain is your body's way of sending you a messsge. That message is:" Something ain't right".
