I have recently been dianosed with severe IBS and have been in misery for several months now. I was wondering if anyone has had any sucess with treatment where you can have a somewhat normal life.
I have had several tests to exclude gallbladder and even a colonoscopy. The results from the scope said I had an impacted bowel. And all the meds and fiber they have tried has failed.

can i get my crohns disease waived for the marines?

HELP!!!!!!! I HAVE BEEN DIAGONOSED WITH SPASTIC COLON SINCE 2003. I HAVE THESE ATTACKS THAT INCLUDE SEVERE STOMACH CRAMPS THAT I SOMETIMES PASS OUT FROM, DIARRHEA (5-7 DAYS A WEEK), SHORTNESS OF BREATH, RAPID HEARTBEAT, PROFUSE SWEATING WHERE I AM DRENCHED HEAD TO TOE, FEELING HOT, DIZZY, THEN CHILLED TO THE BONE WHERE BY BODY TEMP DROPS TO ABOUT 94 OR 92, MY STOMACH TO THE TOUCH TURNS ICE COLD. DOES THIS SOUND LIKE SPASTIC COLON TO ANYONE? DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS? I HAD MY GALLBLADDER REMOVED IN 03 WHEN THIS ALL STARTED, AS I WAS TOLD THAT WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING MY SYMPTOMS AT THE TIME. WRONG!!! EVERYTHING HAS GOTTEN WORST. I’VE HAD 5 COLONOSCOPIES SINCE 03, NO CANCER BUT A POLOP. 2 ENDOSCOPIES THE LAST ONE SHOWED DIALATED BLOOD VESSELS. MY STOMACH IS SO SENSITIVE I CAN NOT TAKE PAIN KILLERS OR 98% OF MEDS BECAUSE MY STOMACH WILL BLEED AND HURT AS IF IT’S BEING RIPPED APART. I SUFFER EVERYDAY IN PAIN. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS? I AM AT THE END OF MY ROPE…:-(
I have tried over 30 different prescription’s with no help or relief. The last was belladonna which i could not function with.

If you know anything about irritable (sp?) / spastic colon please help me.
I have had spastic colon nearly all my life. This is the first time it’s bothered me this badly. I took two Hyomax SL 0.125 MG a few minutes ago and just took a pain pill.
About an hour ago we were at a restaurant and it started. I knew I didn’t feel like eating today, so I didn’t much. But the spasms won’t stop. It was constipation first, followed by acute diarrhea. Now it’s just liquid. The pain and spasms won’t quit. PLEASE tell me what to do. We have a lousy hospital ER. If we go they’ll make us sit forever. They’re very slow.
Is there something I can do to make it stop? I don’t know how much longer I can take this! This is the WORST it’s ever been. (Could it be a stomach bug making the colon spasm worse? My 11 year old daughter had diarrhea at the same time, in another bathroom.) ANY advice will be worth it. Any ideas how to make it a little better?
(If it’s too late this time, do you have advice for future events?)
A doctor diagnosed me at 14. I’m almost 44 now. I’m inclined to think this might be a bug.
Thanks about the water. Hyomax does give cotton mouth to begin with!
I did what you said; took some nausea meds, which are making me sleepy but also took away the nausea (thank goodness!).
I appreciate the advice. I’ll *try* to go lie down now. Husband is willing to take me somewhere if it doesn’t stop soon, but otherwise I’ll call my doctor in morning. Thanks again!

Glamour Girl asked:


I got severe bloody diarrhea last tues around 2:30 am until about 12pm on Wed. I was rushed to the hospital/admitted and put on fluids (sodium chloride and potassium) and later dextrose for Wed-Friday none stop.. Today is now Monday and I still havent had a bowel movement since Wed. I am getting concerned. I mete with my internist and gastrologist this Thurs as a followup so I definetly with let them know. I am also on 500mg of Flagyl 3 times a day and once a day of Levaquin 500mg once a day. Is this normal or should I be concerned that I havent went yet? Is it side effect from the meds or the potassium?
I forgot to add that The doctor did perform a colonoscopy & a biopsy. I get results this week from the biopsy
