Does Anyone Else Get Body Aches When There IBS Is Flaring Up?
I was just wondering does anyone experience body aches and fatigue with IBS? Last night after I went to sleep I started having body aches and was like NO!! I can.t get sick... I did have a flare up yesterday and it when on all day and apparently through the night with the aches and then this morning too. I've been on a light diet since yesterday.

Lately I have been having lower back pains when I have major attacks. Looking forward to getting home and seeing my doctors and get answers.

Weight Gain? Has Anyone Experienced This Even If You Can Barely Eat?
I know personally I retain a lot of fluid during my flare ups. But I've gained and I really don't eat much when I do. I've gain up to 20lbs being sick and all I can do is sleep through it.
Yes it's hard to lose or maintain weight I think its inflammation and water retention and when you feel well I take advantage and eat up while I can so that's why I think I have 10 lbs that comes off… read more
