Reaching my lowest
I’ve had IBS for 7 years and feel like when I find a long term effective solution, something happens to what i used. At first I used kaolin tablets. they settled my stomach and let me leave me house and continue college, unfortunately these were stopped and I dropped out of college due to weeks on end of not being able to leave my house. I then found out kaolin and morphine mixture was back on the shelves and loved this. I was able to work normally. I loved being free again and able to go to work, see some old friends and in January I was stopped. I’ve not seen it around since and I’ve had the worst time ever. IBS in general is an awful illness, like seriously I wouldn’t wish it up on enemy! I now no longer work and even find it a struggle to leave the bathroom. I’ve removed all my trigger foods a long time ago and anything else that triggers me goes to that long list and never to be eaten again. I’ve reached my end. I have no idea where to go from here because living everyday in constant pain isn’t living at all.
Hi,
- Thank you so much for opening up here. I can certainly hear how much your IBS is impacting you. The pain can be so overwhelming. While researching the medications you mention, I see that kaolin is not FDA approved for use in the US. Are you located outside the US? I'd love to try and help you find links to resources in your area so that you can get the support you deserve. In the meantime, I hope you know that you're not alone in this. This community is full of people that know what you're going through. Hope to hear back from you. - Chris, IrritableBowelSyndrome.net Team
