My husband has Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). We never know what is going to trigger an episode. By epsode I mean abdominal cramps, and some heinous diarrhea. It hits within moments of eating. If he eats something one night and has no episode, we never know if two weeks later eating the exact same thing will send his system into fits of IBS. So there are no foods that we know to avoid. Heck, eating some nutter-butter crackers set him off tonight! Some evenings we can't even leave the house because a toilet has to be nearby.
It seems to be a mystery condition. His General Practitioner gave him some medicine to 'stop colon spasms', thinking that would help, but it has done nothing beneficial at all. I'm thinking we need to take him to a Gastrointerologist. But from what I've heard, there is just no cure.

Does anyone else out there have this, or lives with someone who has it. If so, what on earth can be done? It is miserable.

I have been diagnosed HYPO for well over a year, I was sick for over a year before that because no one would tell me what was wrong. I even had my gallbladder removed. Well my question is I have been taking different levels of Thyroid meds for 10 months now. I take ARMOUR 2 grain at present. I am starting to feel as crappy as I did when i started 10 months ago! I have gained ALOT of weight feeling run down and COLD. I was wondering is there something else a doctor should check for when you have HYPO because I think I have something else making my thyroid do this.

When I was in 9th grade, a portion below my chin swelled up, and I had a hard time eating and drinking stuff. It was a small region on the left top portion of my neck, right below the chin. It was just about an inch or so in length and remember it being hard and a bit numb. I remember it hurting only a little bit when I didn't touch it or do anything. But when I started eating it would hurt.

We were at our grandfather's house for the holidays then, and though my mother knew about it, she never did or said anything about it. We stayed at our grandfather's place for about a week and by the time we returned home everything got better.

But I still wonder what that was. Why did I get it?
