Question? Has Anyone Tried A Low Chemical Diet.

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Auckland, NZ

Following a nourishing, low chemical diet gives your liver and gastrointestinal tract a much-needed break from chemical overload, and this helps to calm inflammation, nourish your skin and prevent (or reduce) food intolerance and allergies.

I Feel My Bladder Is Now Effected By My IBS. ? Could That Be ?

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Rio Verde, AZ

I am 67, had a hysterectomy at 26. My lower intestine were connected to my uterus and had to be cut away. I have had IBSD for 18 yrs and now feel like my bladder is being effected. Could that issue way back then cause me more issues with my IBS? Anyone have a similar situation.

A myIBSteam Member

I would definitely consult with a gynecologist and urologist for answers!

Stress Aggravates My Gut. I Have Exercises To Do But Sometimes I Don't Feel Like Getting Out Of Bed.

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Edgewood, NM

I drink probiotics to relieve some stomach problems. I also take Percocet to relieve pain. My primary doctor recommends I find a therapist to discuss my problems with. I've yet to find someone. Actually when I can talk to someone about my pain, it begins to dissipate. I am very unhappy with my body pains. No one understands my needs. Often when I follow an IBS diet I still react poorly with loose stools and cramps.
