I've felt so bad all day today. There were several times where it felt like my stomach was empty & growling like I needed to eat, but I felt nauseous & kind of flushed at the same time. I don't have to deal with nausea very often with my IBS, so I'm a bit confused. After drinking several cups of peppermint tea & eating some crackers tonight, I'm feeling a bit better. But I still can't tell what's going on with my stomach now, and how to treat it, what to eat, etc. I had my miniature poodle laying on top of me earlier today, and my stomach started rumbling & moving & he popped his head up & just stared at my stomach...it was kind of funny! 
It's weird & hard to explain to someone who hasn't dealt with it before...but I can't tell if I'm hungry or sick to my stomach. I'm afraid to eat much.

It sounds counterproductive, but definitely keep eating. I had to deal with nausea A LOT with my IBS, and believe it or not, an empty stomach makes the nausea worse. If all you feel you can stomach is crackers or toast, just eat that - but do keep nibbling, it's better than nothing at all.
Also, I've found that ginger tea is MUCH better for nausea than peppermint. Ginger in general is excellent for nausea, so even if you don't go with the tea, sucking on ginger Altoids might even make you feel better.
I definitely know that "can't tell if I'm hungry or sick" feeling all too well.  Hope you feel better soon!

Am I hungry or am I sick????? I just eat by remote control right now. If I only ate when I felt good, I'd be even smaller than I am now. 
And Casey has encouraged me to keep eating, despite the C and feeling yucky. I guess food is necessary to keep the tummy from spasing because it is too empty. Plus, the C is suppose to get worse when you don't eat enough. I know when I was eating close to 2800 calss, I had more BMs...but I was also eating whole wheat, apples with skins, coffee, prunes, All Bran cereal....

I am glad some people feel like me on here. I actually logged on tonight to post something similar to this! I feel sick all the time lately and I am hungry at the same time..even like 10 mins after I eat..its really weird! This week too(this might be too much info) but I have been spotting before I was even supposed to have my period. So I dont know whats going on?! My horomones are all messed up I guess.

...sorry you are struggling with this. I thought the D.A. was helping you though. Don't tell me this product doesn't work anymore either. Does anything that works last? Zelnorm sure didn't.

You're definitely not alone.....I have been like this all evening and don't know what to do........I don't spot thanks to the birth control but if I wasn't on it I would never have a cycle, so maybe you should get your hormones checked out. I had mine checked out when I quit taking the BC last time I got really sick and she said they were "COMPLETELY FINE", even though I NEVER HAVE A CYCLE!!! I don't know what that's all about!! heheheh.....
I hope you feel better soon!! I hope all of feels better soon!!!

Hey SCgirl! No, it's not working for me anymore, either!! I don't know what happened!!! Maybe I thought it was the DA that was helping me when it was more than likely the Imodium I was taking.....I don't know. I still take it everyday, but I'm not better like I thought I was....I had a good few days there and then BAM, back to the beginning again........

Yea it is working with the C...but this feeling bad thing has only been this week..with the nasua(sp?) and the spotting so I think its due to something else.

Thanks for all the replies. I am actually on BC too and have been for years and this is the very first time I have spotted. It kinda freaks me out about maybe being pregnant or something?!  I dont know..its hard to tell because of the IBS and just female problems.lol The DA still seems to be working for me havent had too many problems with the C..I'll keep you updated.

Good! I'm glad that it is still working for you, at least!! I just keep taking it but it doesn't seem to be helping anymore, but I all of stopped taking my soluble fiber for about a week, too, because the nausea was killing me. I was too scared to take the SFS...but, the nausea has been better this week so I'm back on my SFS, but I did get nauseous tonight.....I hope it doesn't continue to be like this!!!

Oh no, no birth control here, but no way I'm pregnant either, without a miracle! No hormones, no bcps...I've been on both in the past & they weren't pleasant experiences for me!

Oh, I hate feeling like that! I can eat dinner & feel full & bloated after eating just a few bites...then 20 minutes later I'm starving again! I've found alot of times in the evening when I start feeling nauseous, if I force myself to eat some saltines, I'll start feeling better. I don't know why, or what it is, but if it works...

I am feeling like crap. Since I have been taking the DA (which seems to work) I am always hungry. I am so lightheaded today from it and slept all afternoon. This happened last week, too. I think I am starting to digest my food faster than I have in a long time. Looks like I am going to have to call the Millis House of Pizza, because breakfast isn't for 13 more hours. UGH!!!!

I have never noticed these symptoms before.....I have been taking the DA for about a month and a half. It doesn't seem like it's doing anything for me at all........I don't notice any changes in me or my digestive habits. I guess maybe it's not for me.
