Re: Living with Irritable Bowel Syndrome ( IBS ) PART 1

[garciastudios]

Keep your head up girl! I have the exact same thing and also take a probiotic and EVEN take Imodium with my daily, just in case i need it. It's because of videos like this that we can learn that we are normal people and it's learning how to live with IBS that is the key. And sharing our stories in hopes that we can help eachother out with living with this rotten syndrome.

I have IBS since 16 and now I am twenty two , My life has been fucked since then and doctors are wack.

[rambodude19]

I can relate to you so much. I have had IBS all my life. One thing that helps me is Magnesium Glycinate from Metagenics. It relaxes the spasms for me. It takes a few weeks to kick in, but take it consistently, it should help :D Now for my worst IBS attack. I lived in Japan for a year with my family and had made the mistake of having a Starbucks frappuccino and had an attack in the car, 45 minutes away from my house. There were no English speaking people or signs to say where a restroom was......

[Miss0somi]

HONEYYY fuck that guyy, whooo caresss?dont let the IBS to control your life, it is a very simple thing, just try to do more exercise, it works for me

[Jordonification]

Go High Carb Raw Vegan!!! My friend had IBS and he went raw vegan, lots of bananas, dates and veggies. He no longer suffers. It will be no different with you.

GO VEGAN FOR YOUR HEALTH!

[kevlardrone09]

are the things you see in the internet true like those who sells ebooks that claims to get rid of ibs and other gut issues? also things like rezvera? im desperate of finding a solution without going to spend a lot on doctors to no avail. :(

[kevlardrone09]

hey there. your totally not alone. im only 21 and my symptoms started a year ago. i myself think that i have ibs not celiac or intolerance to something because anything i eat can cause things like bloating, gas and BM issues when my gut is not in the "mood". there are times that my gut is ok but there are times like today, i just woke up and went to bathroom and my belly is on a wreck right now. i dont know what triggered it but i ate like rice and chicken last night and i even drank peppermint

[AntiVirusAbdo]

i Sent you a message plz read it

Thx Alot

[alucard4545]

A lot of people who think they have IBS may in fact not. Celiac Disease is often misdiagnosed as IBS. I myself was misdiagnosed with IBS for a little over 5 YEARS before I was properly diagnosed with Celiac. I feel better now that I'm gluten free. So it's a possibility. AND keep in mind that just because you may test negative once for Celiac doesn't mean you don't have it or some kind of gluten intolerance, you may need to get tested twice. So please consider this, talk to your Doctor.

[samurail337]

Look on the bright side, anyone who would react negatively to you telling them doesn't deserve your attention anyway, so now you have an icebreaker that also weeds out all the losers in the world, so you don't waste your time finding out later how much of a jerk they are.

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@samurail337 you are so right. that's exactly what I Say!!!!! :)

[XzyzzyxxX]

If you wanted to know. I don't think you are gross. My Girlfriend has IBS and i find nothing gross about it. You will find some one soon enough who likes you for who you are. if someone doesn't like you because you have something that is out your control then they are just being immature.

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@XzyzzyxxX thank you so much!!

[theMAXILOPEZpsycho]

For me the best things have been the probiotic Bachillus Coagulans and Yoga...if you type in IBS and yoga in youtube theres a great excersize where you suck in your gut - for me its made my whole tummy seem so much stronger. Try this.

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@theMAXILOPEZpsycho thank you! I will look it up!!

[argreulich]

I just saw your video.....I understand everything you are going through.....I am going through the same thing. It is awful. If you ever need anyone to talk to about this let me know....

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@argreulich thank you so much. same to you, if you need anyone, message me!!

[rickvanman]

I've done a few IBS videos and I also run a large IBS community website called IBS-Life dot com - you may find some useful information there that will help you, so feel free to swing-by to take a look & say hi :o)

[ashliebig]

I have IBS too, my family makes fun of me :(!

[MissNixsyPixsyMUA]

i can 100000000% relate to you. i have had IBS for 6 years * im 21* my family think im being "dramatic" but i live most days in pain. the cramp, the spasms, the fevers. having to run back and forth to be sick or go to the bathroom is totally exhausting and you cant sleep cause the pain is so bad. im sooo lucky to have an amazing boyfriend who does support me, but i feel awful that we have to cancel plans most of the time. im training to be a teacher just now, but i never know how my day will go.

[MissNixsyPixsyMUA]

@MissNixsyPixsyMUA it really does control everything i do. and most days i dont want to leave the house. when i do have flare ups they last few days - a week, the longest one being 3 weeks and i ended up in hospital. and after it it takes about a week to feel a bit normal again. it really is an awful life to live. i hope they find out what causes it and how to fix it soon!! xxx

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@MissNixsyPixsyMUA keep your head up, it is a great thing to have someone to support you on that. I wish you the best in your career!! I wanted to be a teacher also! You can do it!

[dew1403]

[MrSchecter45]

[robiiiiee]

Try Raw Food diets.

[pboisei]

I have been able to travel despite having mild symptoms, last year i had to frequent the womens bathrooms in downtown Paris the mens didn't have toilet seats, talk about embarrassing. lol

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@BswissSC whats that interest? :(

[MrSchecter45]

my ibs has cuased me to loose friends and girlfriends cuz i dont go out and do things. only time i do is if my band has a show or i wanna see a new movie or something

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@MrSchecter45 same here. and I can't even go see a movie or go to shows haha

[eddiemurphyfan100]

i'd date you even though you have ibs.

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@eddiemurphyfan100 that's so sweet. <3

[cybertronx1701]

Try Xifaxan, is a new way to treat the IBS forever :-) it work!!!!!!!

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@cybertronx1701 ill loook it up now :D

[aopfakeout1]

I'm 20 years old and a male and live in texas and i have ibs too, I have all the symptoms you have and I've managed too make it through my second year of college by Unfortunately having to suck it up. I want to be a teacher as well, And i fear my dream will not happen because of the fact that i will have to leave the class room as well ... I used to be outgoing and was the most social person ever but i got this when i was 17, lifes been hell ever since. I question if i can if i live like this :(

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@aopfakeout1 I question it, too. But there are things we can do a little. I try praying but I can't find the nerve to pray for myself, so I ask others to. I also try to live close to city areas so I can leave the house more often and things will be closer together. I want to get a job that I work from home, but it's hard to find one. My boyfriend is very supportive. The more support you have, the more comfortable you are around those people. It helps alot. Do you have facebook?

[MrSchecter45]

I have had ibs and celiac disease for a few years.. its a constant battle, I'm on a special diet of gluten free food for my celiac and I'm still always sick with ibs.. I feel for you if you look at my vids youll see I'm a guitar player of 2 bandsvand its hard to travel to towns and play shows in constant stomach issues and pain you should message me if you would like

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@MrSchecter45 you should make a video about it :)

[holtonb1]

This video really made me feel better - it's nice to have someone who can relate to me :). I want to post one - so you can have someone to relate to too :).

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@holtonb1 I think you should!!!

[DiamondsGlow87]

ibsgroup.org is a good place to meet people with IBS. I have suffered from IBS C since I was little and for me basically I get hard stools I can not pass or the feeling you get when you have to go I do not get it, it took 15 years and me being hospitalized and almost doing serious damage to myself for someone to finally give me a name for what I had and put me on something that helped. Threw the years I was sent to loads of doctors and put on all these meds which some cost an arm and a leg.

[emmsiloo]

hurraah!! I'm not alone in the world with IBS!!, don't worry about what others say!... i just wish there was a cure for this once and for all!

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@emmsiloo no, you are not alone. :)

[mhari1980]

I know exactly how you feel,i have suffered this for 9 years and its not a nice thing to have. My family and friends try to understand but i know they get annoyed when i have to cancel dinner plans etc. I can't go ANYWHERE unless i know where the nearest bathroom is,it completely takes over your life. Like you said in one of your previous comments,its mostly in the mind but its so hard not to think about it.

Feel free to add me and message me anytime,i know what you are going through.

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@mhari1980 awwww, I am so sorry to hear that someone else has to deal with it also. Jeez, people will never understand what it's like if they don' thave it.

God blessss you <3333

[steelydanbowler]

You showed real courage in making this video (I think). I wish you all of the best in your journey. I am sure your courage will help others who might be going through this too :)

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@steelydanbowler Thank you! trust me, I thought about making it private hahahah.

I was scared to hear what people had to say. <3

[yt3456100]

have you looked into alternative medicines?

there must be something that can be done....i think Kelsey Grammer's gf had this too, and she was a playboy model at the time.

good luck to you & anyone who makes fun of this is an idiot w/o any feelings.

[IndustrialKitt3n]

@yt3456100 there are tons of things I have looked into. Unfortunately, I have a fear of any serious medications. For some people, IBS is worse than others. See, IBS is normal to have, and it doesn't interfear that badly. But then it becomes psycological. Because you cannot ever determine when you are going to have an attack, you begin to fear having them, which causes them more frequently than they would in the beginning. So it is your mind, but it's really hard to stop it.

Thank you so much. <3
