Irritable bowel syndrome??

Question

Two years ago, I was diagnosed with it! I had so much pain! It did go away with a heating pad! Now, I've been stuck with it again for the past three weeks, so much pain! So again, I'm sitting on a heating pad! I take naproxen daily for another illness. It started again awhile after I went to the dentist and had to take tylenol no.3 Do you think it came back because of the combinaison of these two pills? Why do you think it came back? The pain is unbearable! Any opinion would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

Ibs is intertwined with the nervous system, have you had a lot of stress, that could be why i have it as well and life with it stinks i am on dycyclomine because of it, it helps but i still have problems. it dose not go away it flares up

Answer 2

IBS is often irritated or brought on by scythedic drugs (prescription or over the counter medications) Give natural health care a try. I know many more people who have found relieve treating this naturally. Help your body heal itself. Often in western medicine (traditional doctors) the medications they prescribe only treat the symptoms not the disease. And often these medicines bring on other health issues while treating another. This is how many people acquire IBS in the first place. I suspect the naproxen could even be the culprit. And the recent Tylenol no.3 flared it up again. I would subject you go to a natural health store that has employees that have knowledge with these disorders if you cant find a natural health practitioner. Do a yahoo or google search under natural health IBS -holistic health IBS- alternative medicine IBS. You will find lots and lots of supplaments and diet plans that will control you re IBS

Answer 3

There are quite a few things that help with general digestion and may help with IBS. Many customers get benefits from Probiotics, Fiber, or Enzymes. If you are allergic to lactose, you should make sure that any probiotics you get are either lactose free or milk free (they are more expensive that way)... OR you could try some Lactase Enzyme (it helps digest lactose, so it may help reduce the reaction). There are a few people that get benefits from stomach soothers like Ginger, Peppermint Oil, or Aloe Vera..... but that's just to calm the stomach, not the intestines or bowels (which is where Irritable Bowel Syndrome is based). For any of those, I would recommend checking with a doctor that knows about supplements or an allergist, just to make sure you won't have a problem with any of those (standard warning for anyone with a medical condition). ....but you could try them if you don't have a very severe reaction and are willing to risk it ;-)

Answer 4

I totally sympathize. It could be the Tylenol 3 tended to make you a little constipated. I have noticed over the years, when I am even a little blocked up, it comes back to haunt me. I know the pain is unbearable. Sometimes lying on your left side can ease some of the discomfort.

It really does help to keep fiber and water in your diet.

Answer 5

I recently tried a product called Lepicol, which is quite effective. Strictly speaking it isn't a medicine so you should be able to take it at the same time as other medicines. It's available from health food shops, either in tablet form or powder to mix with a drink.

Try going on a high fiber diet..or just take fiber pills..there are triggers..but you would have to start out fresh in order to figure out what is triggering the pain..
