Frustrated is how I feel. I have had IBS since I was 18. I am now 28. I just finally got diagnosed with it 8 months ago. My DR. perscribed me NuLev for my episodes till my diet got better and I could handle more. I never really got on a strick diet and took fiber only a few times a month really. I just took those pills 3-4 times a day everyday. She said that was fine for now, but I had to work on my diet to help my body fight it. So, I went off the pills in early May. Too my surprise I could eat anything still without the pills. I was shocked. However 3 weeks later, I became very ill. I have been ill for 2 months now and thye don't think it is related to my IBS. Now that I am feel a little better on a daily basis. I can tell you that I feel lighted (like I am going to pass out) and get a tingling feeling in my abdomin about 5 minutes before I have to go #2. I always have aheadache too. Does anyone know if headaches and lightheadness is part of any IBS symptom. I have found much help in this website for eating, but I am still a very picky eater and will find it difficult to eat like this. Strick Soluble fiber for 3 days sounds like it would not be very nutritious, which is what my DR is concerned with. Any help or suggestions on food items that are easy to eat and still healthy for the rest of my body, but will help determine if my head problems are related to my IBS.
Thank you all so much for listening, it's been a long 10 years and a longer 2 months. I have 3 small boys (5,3,1) and can't do much with them feeling like this. Starting to feel like a bad mom. Thanks again for this website. I'll definately be around!!
