IBS can be associated with diarrhea (IBS-D), constipation (IBS-C), and it can alternate (IBS-ALT). Every time you eat you stimulate your entire digestive system which for most folks with IBS-D triggers an episode. This is why it is encouraged more so for someone that is chronically constipated (IBS-C) to eat breakfast in order to wake up their digestive system and get it to break its rest cycle. There are medications available to help with symptoms of IBS because sometimes diet is not enough but it sounds like you have been there too. You said when your plumbing gets better you get concerned. It is funny because that is something only a person who suffers from IBS or IBD would understand.

you should go work at the va dk. or even a normal practice. oh wait dont do that that would wreck my disability rating haha.

I am sorry to hear that. Crohn's is a ***** goddess from hell. It really is a disease that is different from person to person and you know your Crohn's better than anyone. There are members here on FG that have Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis willing to help and give advice if you ever need any myself included brother.

that's a fact baby1 esp when you are a fat guy that loves all food. i dont think i have found many foods that i dont like, they just odnt like me very much haha. i will tell you that adding in the super bio curcummin and some of the other anti inflammatory supps to my lineup has helped a lot with the pain discomfort and bloat. then again i havent had any diary in over 3 months so i wont know completely for sure until i add a little back in

TweetOne of my regional managers has crohns and he gets remicaid? Infusions. I think that was the name. He said it makes a huge difference.
