IBS flare up for months!
Hi all
I been in a flare up since November with my ibs. It all came on suddenly.
Normally my bloating comes and goes but it doesn’t seem to be going away.
I went to see a gastroenterologist who referred me for a ultrasound which was fine. So now I am working with a dietician on a simplified version of the low FODMAP diet.
I did attempt the low FODMAP diet back in august but I failed to finish the re introductory phase thoroughly as life got in the way.
I am also awaiting a sibo test.
I’m bit confused as to what have caused this but I have a idea that maybe my new job is causing stress on my body. I work long hours standing up with not enough breaks . I work in a warehouse.
Has anyone ever done this type of work that have had IBS who think it could be that.
It just seems that my flare up started when I started this job.
Any advice would be great
Thanks
Thank you so much for being willing to share with us! How have you been feeling as of late? What were the results of your sibo test? Do we have a healthy amount of intestinal bacteria? Always a cool question to ask in response to a comment that's two years old! I know how frustrating it can be to get referred from one doctor to another. Just bouncing from specialist to specialist, when all you want is an answer, less anxiety, and helpful solutions! Personally, whenever I need to be out and about, I always go with Imodium. It's my knight in shining armor, of which my gastroenterologist said I can take 4 of.
I hope you've been doing well and have had fewer bouts of diarrhea since this last post. Wishing you a gentle and symptom-free day! ~ Sawyer (team member)
