Hi, folks! I'm not quite sure which board to post this to, so I'm posting it here and on the IBS diet board. My general question is, have any of you ever been taken to the hospital because of, or during an IBS attack? I never had, until last week, one week ago today, in fact. That is my biggest reason for getting back on the boards, I realize I need help and support to control this thing.
I had eaten out at IHOP, (International House of Pancakes) with a group of friends. I had pancakes, egss with cheddar on them, and mozzarella. Yes, all unsafe foods, I am sure! Not a half hour afterwards, I was nearly passing out because of the intense abdominal pain, cramps that could tear my abdomen apart, and for the first time ever, I began to throw up during the attack. I've felt very nauseous before, but never gotten sick.
Boy, if I needed an incentive to eat healthy, and IBS safe, I just got one! I've been taking my acacia tummy fiber regularly now, and it's helping. I'm also trying to eat safe foods. Heather says dairy is a trigger, but it is not for me. Are there others of you who can eat dairy with no troubles?
Thanks for listening, and I could use some feedback, if you've got it! :)

Yep. I've been a couple of times. Both times my IBS kicked off uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea and I needed a shot to get my system to calm down. Neither time was any fun. I'm not sure what you've been doing, or how you know dairy is not a trigger for you, but it's something I can tolerate in small amounts occasionally. It might make me a little queasy or my stomach hurt a little, but I'm willing to take a little pain. Other times it's a disaster. I generally steer clear.
