Diseases & Conditions - 4 September 2006

I have self diagnosed myself with IBS- Bloating, sever cramps, urgency to use the toilet, constipation etc.It really gets me down sometimes as I am scared to eat anything before getting on the tube in case i have to "go". I have stated taking Colpermin tablets, so hopefully they will soothe the symptoms. Does anyone have any really good suggestions that actually work for IBS - I am going travelling to new zealand soon and it is a VERY long flight - I really need something that works! do you think I should go and get a proper diagnosis from a doctor? Can someone please shed some light on the whol IBS thing for me, as no-one else I know has it!

I KNOW I SHOULD GO SEE A DOC but I want to get some perspective on the situation....

I have clammy hands and before that started I have had really dry palms with the skin peeling off. This has been going on for about a week.

In the last two days I have also had really bad smelling urine.

Apart from these two things I feel ok. Want to know the possibile diagnosis.

I'm going to be travelling through Central America for an as-yet undetermined amount of time. My doctor has prescribed 20 weeks' worth of doxycycline.

My question is - if I end up being there for more than 20 weeks and can't get ahold of doxycycline, can I start taking Larium or Malarone etc?

In other words, can I just swap over from doxycycline?

I went claming, and now I'm breaking out in spots. This happened the last time I went claming too.

So, is it possible for me to be allergic to the type of water or muck that you find clams in?
