I'm not sure anymore! Originally I was told you need to be eating the right fibre, i.e soluble fibre (eg, porridge oats) as opposed to unsoluble fibre (eg. bran), I'm sure you can find whole lists on the internet of the different fibre foods. Howeve…
My stools were like this at the very beginning of which I can only describe, I guess, as IBS. Saying that, I don't get gripping pains or bloating. Is the orange-red blood? Sometimes I still see the mucus, but not very often. My Dr told me I have one…

Hello. I'm Rebekah. I'm 22 and a college student. I found this webiste because I wanted to talk to people who actually experience IBS and now exactly how I feel when I'm going through a bad episode. My IBS seems to be getting worse over the years with new symptoms and problems. It takes a lot of courage to talk about these things and I'm glad we have a private forum to do so.
Occupation/Work:
dental assistant and also student
What do you do for fun?
Shop, disc golf, movies, out to eat, hang out with family and friends, read
How long have you lived with IBS?
Maybe 10 years. I have both IBS-D and IBS-C
When did you realize you had IBS?
Around 6 years ago.
Most embarassing IBS moment:
It is always embarrassing if anything happens outside my house.
How do you do treat your IBS?
Don't eat too much sugar (ex. never eat a huge slice of birthday cake).
Try to not get stressed out. But I'm a college student so that doesn't work out well when exams come.
And when I notice I'm constipated I take Miralax. Probably the only laxative that doesn't tear me up inside. Very gentle.

Hello!
I take probiotics. Florastor works REALLY well. Have you tired that? Also, diet is important. Look up the Paleo Diet, it really is an amazing diet. Lots of info on Google and around here as well. Feel better! Glad you are on this site!
