Tonight was the WORST attack I have had since I began this diet almost a year and half ago. I know I brought it on with what I ate in the past few days, but I seriously thought I was going to die. THe pain in my stomach was so bad I was curled up in a ball on the floor in the bathroom. My hubby was so sweet and said Can I do anything for you. I said please get me some fennel tea. Well after about hour in the bathroom I finally had major D and just like that the spasms stopped.
I really hate IBS. I feel like an idiot that I thought I could cheat and my body would be ok with it. I am just feeling down and this attack really brought the reality of this disease to me. I am so sorry for those of you who still suffer from this regularly. I have been lucky to have been stable for so long. I just hope it won't take so long to become stable again.
Thanks for letting me vent. I know that my IBS family are the only ones who truly understand the agony and anguish that goes with syndrome.

Yeah, it sure sounds familiar. We do that, we have something we know we shouldn't, because we're feeling good and thinking, "what the heck, I'm feeling great, I can have this one helping of chocolate mousse!" And before we can finish it, WHAM! BAM! and we're running to the bathroom.
Yeah, it just doesn't pay to cheat. We still do it, but we always pay the price....
Your hubby is like mine: a real gem. He serves me Tummy Mint tea instead of Fennel. Sometimes instant oatmeal too. For me, Donnatal is the only thing that will help with an attack like you had.
You'll get stable again in no time. You know what to do. And you also know you can vent here ANY time!

I am sorry you are hurting. I had a mild attack more caused more from tension than what I ate but it is an attack nonetheless...you have a friend that is right there with you!
My husband doesn't really "get it" but he leaves me alone when I don't feel good and that works for me. Bless his heart...

Have a blessed day!...Rachel
stable and sooooooo thankful!
I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

Hello IBS loved ones,
I understand completely how you felt, as I have had attacks recently that were just like that. I also have a great husband who brings me tea and tries to massage my back or tummy to help. I can always tell when I have been ill for too many days, because he gets bored and forgets that I am trying to rest. He comes in about every 20 minutes with a question that just needs to be answered right now. Most of the time he is great though. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that when I am 89 yrs old I am still gonna be sick. Nothing to really look forward to.
I just hope that anyone who has a spouse who is involved with your illness, consider yourselves lucky and imagine how hard it would be to find another great husband.
Now that I made it through the holidays, I can try to concentrate on feeling better. I wish all of you good sleep and no pain for a day or so...

DH's stepdad forgot to save me potato not mashed with butter and milk. He forgot to cook my chicken breast... Thankfully it was thin and broiled fast.. and there was plain steamed carrots- I got carrots and chicken breast- both plain for dinner while everyone else had roast, onions and mushrooms in butter, peas drenched in buter, mashed taters and the carrots...
and then they had cheesecake and pumpkin pie with dairy in it for dessert with whipped cream... ah well.. I had some bittersweet hanukah gelt!

Thanks for the support you guys. I feel a bit better this morning but I am going to play it safe today. Ceral with a banana and water to drink for breakfast. I am going to try to go to the mall with Noah today. Hopefully my tummy will behave. I seriously was in so much pain last night I couldn't believe it. I would go through childbirth again without an epidural before I would want to go through that again. At least with the pain in childbirth you get something great in return!!

Sorry you had to go through that! I feel your pain, though. Being stable is awesome! I was stable for over a year and just got sick again this August and unfortunately, I'm still sick! I hope you bounce back a WHOLE lot quicker than I am!!!
Get Well, Soon!!

I know just what it's like to be in total agony when you just cant go. I ended up in A & E a few weeks ago twice, the first time i was severly Constipated it was excruciating, i called for an ambulance. They gave me morphine but it didn't help. When i arrived, I was told i would need an enema after he saw my Xray and was put on salin drip. The next thing i said i needed to go to the toilet, i ended up with Diarrea so the doctor let me go home soon after, only for me to be rushed back by another ambulance 6 hours later, with bleeding and diarrea, but after another examination by another doctor, he said i should be ok and it will clear up after a couple of days. Thank God it did.
So since then i've been very careful. the reason why all this happened is because my GP prescribed antibiotics which caused me to end up with sever IBS and was hard to control.
I live on my own now. So it can be a bummer when nobody is here to support.
Wish you all a late Happy Christmas and Chanucah and hope you all have a totally free IBS New Year. I like both holidays.
