I finally got to watch it now! thank you so much! this was great! I'm a poet. I wrote a poem about IBS-D a little while ago and it's very descriptive but also funny if you read it out loud and not alone in the bathroom experiencing this shit! Lol. M…

I was on the subway the other day going home and I knew it was going to be an awful ride. I had been out earlier with a friend of mine, it seemed like we walked 500 blocks since we were walking for a few hours. Finally we sat to have lunch (buffet s…
hey, i can't see the video b/c it's a private video. I want to see it!!! lol
If anyone else on here is in college, or school at all for that matter- unite :)
you probably have social anxiety that leads to your IBS acting up around social situations, you have to try to go out at least once a month or more, just try and do deep breathing in these situations and always have an escape route, be very attentiv…
I'm sorry. Sometimes its hard sometimes it's not. I hope life is getting better for you. :)
I'm not brave, sometimes it just happens.

KAYCEE 2 said… - You are all so right on. Good for you both Hope and (KAGome 523 very pretty by the way )for going to school an. I was so frustrated that I found out all in one week so major stressors and one being my schooling I had borrowed my pension to payback the last semester when we had bought our first home in Brentwood and had to sell between my husband and I we were commuting 8 hours a day and just tried so hard to make something work that we should have let go I won't go into all the gory details but it was a scary nightmare my husband lost his job 3 weeks after and had to take a 40 % paycut I went on 44 interviews and was always in the top 5 but not quite there trying to get a government job and well I might has been audtioning for a major movie role with all the competition in that one but the good was we appreciated each other for how hard we worked and made our family a priority although debt was astronomical we were in the hole $1500 a month and then I got the job and it wasn't the lazy government job I signed up LOL I had to work 5 months ahead of time who the hell does that we sold the house after 3 years of trying to make it work broke even and rented and now that I have so many health issues they thought for sure I had several types of cancer due to my DNA scaring the heck out of me so moving not the best time so I cashed in my pension took a big hit quit my job I tried 3 of the same type of job and each had way too much stress one I stayed at for 4 years and after I thought they wanted to fire me since a client sued for discrimination ( this was immediately after the shop steward was fired for a client filing discrimination on a false claim) mine was false too they wanted 3 bedrooms when they were only 1 person but they had congress involved I documented the case so well that the case was dropped in court I worked 6 hours a day on this case but my boss who always left me alone prior just started criticizing me like crazy so I left to find an every other Friday job and it didn't work out 3 months and the last two I was coming to work in diapers so I let it go since 8 people quit prior to my coming on board the boss there put toxic boss syndrome to a whole new level. I felt like a massive failure. Turns out the directors at my job the one with the discrimation case were so impressed by me and the reason they didn't hire me back for a temp job is they wanted me back for a full time job next year when funding happens don't think I want it back but it seems I impressed them with my handling of the case although my boss was on my case the whole time funny how we can get the noids when they are not there I felt so rejected and not accepted when I was the whole time So I want a new job and finish my last semester and USF and I want to write especially now that my thyroid is now overactive instead of underactive this must be what manic feels like kind of like it but without all the pain LOL. I worked as a counselor for the mentally ill for 10 years so the good thing is although I haven't slept more than 3 hours with medication for a year I have decided to get off all medications and my body is reacting right now with severe anemia, dehydration and anxiety I'm doing acupuncture and seeing a chiropractor my mind is not broken and neither is my spirit although my body feels that way since I am detoxing from the 20 pills the docs gave me over this year to try and fix me word of the wise never tell your therapist who has always seen you composed and as a colleague rather than a patient that you are tired of the doctors with there Elvis Presley like ways something to start you something to stop you something to plug you up and something to make you go because they just might commit you. I had to be evaluated by a team and they determined that I should go back on the medicine I quit too abruptly but my other alternative doc said I was dying so I previously asked to be pre tapered off my medication starting with the anxiety one so it has been since Friday that I stopped that one and it has been since Monday that I quit all the rest so my reg doc said I could be admitted for anemia, dehydration (severe sinus infection to boot) and drink more electrolytes currently allergic to the fructose in it and less water (water tociixity) and I can take care of myself at home but to use the plug up medicine and that it will take 6 days to detox myself and that I was half there. The pain is out of this world and I have gone through 8 diapers and a roll of toliet paper in one day but I feel more hydrated with the electrolytes and the acupuncture and chiropractic treatments have helped but I didn't take the plug me up meds I figured I am not going through 6 additional days of detox I do not recommend this but 15 years ago I quit smoking to lead a better life and all of these pills just started to feel like that can be a bit compulsive to me and unhealthy I was trying to combine both Western/Eastern methodologies together and it just felt like it wasn't working. My husband has been compulsive about being me a house we can't exactly afford right now hello his wife is not working and the penison money I took out to return to school this month he spent it on kids, groceries, bills (he's so extravagant) and it's gone baby gone and then it turns out that they accidentally sent me too much money and that I have return the exact amount my school would cost for this semester and my hubby who has been my nurse this year cleaning my vomit, bedpans when I go to the ER,and now buying me diapers that is love I realized he is doing this not to stop me from school but to distract him from thinking I'm dying. He believe its the plumbing here and the water is making me sick. I decided to postpone schooling till the fall I can't drive right now anyway new symptom temporary vision loss and that I'll blow their socks off in the fall. Sorry feeling intense jonesing for some antiobiotics right now but can;t take a thing I haven't slept one wink since Friday they say come Monday it will be all right and if I haven't slept by then and if my symptoms are still at the point of severe I will have to go back on the traditional Western medicine route so wish me luck I would love to be clear and level headed again plus the meds made me gain 20 pounds in two weeks heck that broke my record and I have skills so I am finally at my normal weight the acupuncturist believes you should be skinny but it is way too much to gain and loose the amount I did in such a short time good thing I didn't start at my high school weight when I got sick with this I would be anorexic and I have 20 pounds lee way before i HIT the 95 pound mark. Nice to have the clothes fit again well minus the depends diapers I'm sportin.

jokerofdeception said… - Fish in general is better for you and easier on the intestines. Animal fat is bad for people with ibs, you know like pork and beef have a different kind of fat structure than fish. It's like a "good" fat. Try to stay away from dairy right now too, or anything that you know gives you gas, your day will be a little more.......how shall we say...... comfortable? haha. take care kiddo.
Buy this book, it helped me alot with my diet and with general nutrition.

subway nyc
I was on the subway the other day going home and I knew it was going to be an awful ride. I had been out earlier with a friend of mine, it seemed like we walked 500 blocks since we were walking for a few hours. Finally we sat to have lunch (buffet style) and I ate way too much too fast. I knew what was coming next. Instantly my tummy starting cramping and hurting and I passed gas (silently of course). Anyways, we left and she's a fast walker, and doesn't seem to understand that after you eat you… Continue

activated charcoal & psyllium husks
Has anyone used activated charcaol?
Does it seem to work to in minimizing the odor of the leaky gas?
I bought psyllium husks and I'm just wondering if anyone else is using it and if it's helpful.
I will also post the results I've received from these products after I use them.

This Summer
There have been up and downs this summer, in every aspect of my life seriously.
I don't know what's wrong with my body, no one seems to know or my doctors don't care, who knows.
1. i haven't had my period for 3 months (not pregnant though)
2. i have a low immune system but no one knows why
3. I feel weak all the time, but that's b/c i sleep soooo late every single night (awful habit)
4. I only get bowel movements after i drink my fennel seed tea, maybe too much of a good thing is bad!
5. Made ne… Continue

Fennel Tea is my new love
This week was much better than last week at least concerning my ibs. Everything else sucked this week. My relationship with a close friend ended. I have anxiety so I got so paranoid about a lot of things. Then of course I couldn't get into a course I need to take in the fall b/c it was closed and I'm on a waiting list. Isn't that great? There's more, now I have some medical problem besides IBS. My white blood cell count is low especially the neutrophils so basically I need to wash my hands a lot… Continue

My Week
This week has been up and down. I felt great at the beginning of the week even though before every class I'm worried that I will have a lot of gas and that it will smell bad. I'm always aware where the windows are and unfortunately I usually pick the seats in the back where the windows are and so if the windows are open I might be screwed.
By Wednesday, my worst day this week, I was not happy with the food choices and I had cooked spinach and a tuna sandwich on 7 grain bread and so I thought I… Continue
