Unsure IBS
hiya I’ve not been able to get off the toilet for 4 weeks now with diarrhoea I been to the doctors and sent in a sample he felt all over my tummy and said no concerns I have bloods next week but this gets worse when I eat anything remotely fatty I feel sick also at time could this be ibs
Yeah sure, it could be. IBS is often accompanied by fat-malabsorption.
I bet you have already lowered the fat in your diet? Nobody here would eat overly fatty meals, let me tell you 😉This is going to sound stupid but I’m not sure what’s fat free and not fat free it’s all got fat in 😂 does it really last for weeks 🥴 I’ve been and bought some balanced meals today so hopefully I have some better days to scared to eat and leave the house
Hi
, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this. Having constant diarrhea for 4 weeks could technically be IBS, but it sounds more like an infection or something else to me. I've had that once and it was a bacterial infection that only went away after antibiotics. Did you get the results from your stool sample back yet? Blood work also sounds like a great idea. What are you currently eating? Sending hugs, Karina (team member) Thankyou for understanding seem such a breath of fresh air 🥹 the doctors did mention a infection so hopefully they can fix it im eatin all home cooked meals such as pastas chicken breasts and drinking water I haven’t called for my results my blood ate been done the 11th then a follow up app on the 16th I hope it’s nothink serious thankyou for getting back to me sending hugs back x
I hope you'll get your results back soon! If it really is an infection, it might not be manageable with diet (unlike IBS, which often is, at least little), however I imagine that treatment should be fairly effective if they know what it is. Will you let us know when you get your results? Wishing you quick relief, Karina (team member)
