| anyone have IBS??? I was diagnosed with IBS when I was pregnant with my daughter 7 years ago. I have found that I only have pains...or "attacks" about once a month or so. I watch for certain things in my diet and that has really helped. But I have noticed since becoming pregnant that I have attacks VERY often. Is this normal? My diet isn't changing so I can't imagine why it would be getting worse. I don't remember if it was worse when I was pregnant with my daughter...(I have a horrible memory) so I am just wondering if it is just me...or if others have had the same problem???

well...in case you are wondering...those "attacks"...that is what labor contractions feel like only the labor contractions don't stop...they keep coming so imagine having those every 5 minutes for HOURS on end...and then more often as it comes closer to time to having the baby I never knew how to describe the pains until I had a child. Then I was finally able to describe it to my dr. and that is when I was diagnosed. Every other doctor tried to say it was endometriosis or something like that. It was horrible. I have had these pains since I was in the 7th grade...and I was 22 before I was finally diagnosed

I have also been told that if you increase your fiber intake, that helps a lot. I use this powder fiber that dissolves really easily and does not have any taste to it. I also give it to my daughter..she has NO idea

| I Can Sympathize I've had IBS for at least 15 years and have had some attacks that put me in bed all day so I can sympathize with you. The doctor originally thought it was hormonal as the attacks came more often during certain times of the cycle. Once in menopause, the types of attacks changed and different types of medication helped but now the best one I used was taken off the market, Zelnorm. Fiber therapy did not help at all. I drank that awful stuff for years, hoping it would make a difference at some point. Regular exercise, yoga especially for relaxation, and lots of water seem to help. wishing you the best in learning to live with it...

| I have IBS I"ve had it for the past 12 years the only thing i hate is when it acts up when you go out to eat so me and hubby dont go out to eat that often,because i fear it will flare up .i tryed the fiber which helped a little but i just have to watch what i eat.

| I've Had to Lower My Standards I know what you mean. Unfortunately, I've had to use some bathrooms that haven't been very well maintained. People used to tell me I'd learn where bathrooms were in every store when my son was potty-training but that was nothing compared to IBS attacks.
