Urban planners and city councils today must include public washrooms at every public space. We must maintain basic
MDs must undertake a duty to fully investigate IBS symptoms beyond current limited tests and procedures when symptoms persist. No one can ignore exploding diarrhea. MD must offer treatment to mitigate such a condition. Treatment exists and it should be offered.
- These are great points. We hear from many in the community about the lack of IBS awareness in doctors. Thanks for weighing in! - Chris, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team
I not only have IBS, but also Diviticulitis, and Celiac. The hardest thing is having to eliminate food from each category which leaves nothing that I feel is nutritious.😫
- It certainly can be tough to figure out food elimination! Have you taken a look at our recipes section? Hope you're able to find something that works for you. - Chris, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team
IBS is not in your head! I've been living with this since I was a teenager. I was given placebos, tranquilizer, antianxiety meds, and counseling. Nothing helped. Finally found a med used for hot flashes that was used off-lable for IBS sx's. Helped somewhat but the psychological effects are always there. We need more research into cause and cures. The fight is real! - The fight is definitely real! I'm glad you were able to finally found something to help your symptoms. Hope you have a restful weekend. - Chris, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team I do so understand. You might find some answers in reading my book 7 Steps to Heal Yourself from IBS available from Amazon. I agree the physiological effects are there but with meditation it is possible to change your thoughts. For me my IBS trigger was defiantly anxiety. Through treating my anxiety I was able to heal myself from IBS using hypnotherapy and the work and meditation of Dr Joe Dispenza. I trust you find this helpful.
