I recently have been diagnosed with IBS and before the doctors came to the conclusion that IBS is what I have, I went through a series of tests. The works basically. Not to mention I went through a series of other problems while dealing with this one. Starting from the beginning from when I can remember this first happening, I became pregnant with my second child. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with triggering IBS to come into full swing or if it was just what was meant to happen. I just had a lot of a gassy feeling, that would be the best to describe it. Right in the center of the top adbdomen. But I just thought it was from the pregnancy. But anything I ate made it worse. So I stayed away from all the foods that I loved before I became pregnant. But after I had my son, a year ago now, the symptoms never really left. They seemed to get worse. So my doctor put me on some anti-acids and told me to take some OTC gas relievers. That all seemed to mask it for a while until 3 months later, I went through a pretty traumatic event. I had a series of blood clots in my lungs. I ended up having to go on a treatment where i had to take anti-coagulants for 6 months. That seemed me make everything so much worse. If i took the blood thinners while on a full stomach or even if I had any food in my stmach at all, my whole digestive tract would go through loops. I ended up having to take it on an empty stomach right before I went to bed. With all of that happening I had lost well over 40 lbs. I didn't need to lose 40 lbs. to begin with. I'm 5' 9" and weighing in at 115 right now. And now I'm finding it extremely difficult to gain any weight. I'm still struggling to keep myself on a high soluble diet to keep myself from suffering from any IBS attacks. I've been sticking with Heathers list of foods that are safe, but I still seem to have attacks. But I believe that most of the attacks that I am suffering from are caused by stress. Now, with all this happening, I am now going through a tough time all around. I feel like I've lost my health. I am now just trying to gain myself back. Trying to get myself healthy. Nt only fr myself but for the others that are around me. And I need to gain weight back. I need to look healthy, to feel healthy so I can actually be healthy.
I'm not looking for any sympathy from anyone out here. I am just looking for any advice from anyone who can help guide me to becoming a healthy looking individual again. This is all that I want. Is a guide.
Thank you to anyone who reads my post and to anyone who responds to this. I greatly appreciate it.
