  • So many of you guys asked me to make a video on IBS and bloating, so here it is! Bloating is one of my WORST symptoms :(
    I thought I'd talk a little about how my chronic bloating affects me both physically and mentally as well as how I deal with it on a daily basis.
    I've suffered with IBS-C for years and there never seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Any help or advice much appreciated!

    wow... I am so happy that I've finally come across a video that talks about the mental affects of IBS Bloating. It just makes you feel so insecure about urself every freaking day. Knowing you have abs but you can't see them is more frustrating than people think lol.
    Nothing could ever make me as happy as just finally being free from IBS

      @Lucy Soul There are many components to l-glutamine ibs. One resource I found that succeeds in merging these is the Stomach oracle omnibus (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best plan that I've seen. Check out all the extraordinary info.

      I am just as frustrated as you are when it comes to doctors. I'm also constantly told that I'm a "healthy young woman" and that they can't find anything wrong with me when my symptoms get so bad I can't eat for a week straight and am constantly worried to be out in public.
      I don't know if this is any help but what I came to realize is that maybe there won't be a doctor to fix my problem any time soon and so I'm trying to let go of this narrative that I'm the victim who nobody is helping. So whenever I get another flareup instead of crying and wallowing in self pity I try to be kind to my body and focus on the things in my life that I get to be grateful for.
      Would be cool to hear from you and how you're doing, because it sounds like you just GET IT and I relate so much to what you're saying

    Thank you! For this video. I thought I’d never come across someone who has the same pains as me with IBS. I just got diagnosed with IBS this week. The last 2 months, I’ve had severe cramping, SHARP pains, dull aches, back pain (which literally makes me cry), spinal pain, shoulder & neck pain, nausea, pelvic pain and this twisting, stabbing pain that jerks me out of my sleep most nights. I’ve had 3 scans, blood tests, urine tests. So many tests. The doctor first told me I had IBS, and I didn’t believe him. I pushed for tests. He keeps saying to me, you may have digestion issues causing the pains. But I kept insisting that my plant based diet was not the cause of my pain. I asked for them to check for cysts, growths, ulcers, anything else. All my tests came back CLEAR. Organs looked great, healthy urine + blood tests, except lack of vitamin D. But otherwise, all seemed fine. I ended up one night in the emergency room a few weeks ago, with my family waiting in terror. I was in agony. I honestly thought I was dying. The hospital kept me for a few hours then sent me home with pain relief saying they couldn’t find out what was wrong with me and go back to the doctor. I was defeated. Then the next day, the doctor provided me a referral to see a gynecologist (here in Australia we need a written referral before seeing a gyno). Endometriosis has been ruled out (for now), the gyno ended up sitting down with me after my exam & confirmed it was my bowel and digestion causing me the pain. For some reason, just having her confirm it made me accept it. I don’t know why I couldn’t accept it with my normal doctor. I guess when the gyno had checked my “parts” down there and said it all seemed well, I just gave in and accepted that I have IBS. It’s a relief but it’s sad. I feel like my mental health has taken a hit. My brain anticipates the pain when I wake up now. And I haven’t left the house to socialise, apart from doctors. I’ve taken 2-3 weeks off work in total. I’ve been told to change my diet & cut out things that I am so used to eating. But if it means being mostly pain free in the future, I’ll do it. Thanks for this video, this makes me feel like the pain is shared and I’m heard! ❤️

      Omg I feel like we are the same person. I’ve been to the ER twice and a gyno. I’ve had ultrasounds, CT scans etc. I have been told I had a ruptured cyst and the blood from that cyst is on my stomach causing inflammation. I don’t believe that. I feel pregnant with bloat that will not go away. It’s been 5 days! My front shoulders also hurt when I inhale. There is something wrong and it maybe IBS. One ER doc prescribe benzoyl an IBS med but still no change. I’m miserable. Please tell me what I can do to get rid of the bloat I’ll do anything. I feel we are so similar on symptoms.

    I’ve had IBS for 10+ years now (I’m 33) and can fully relate to how you feel! I think bloating is one of the worst feelings in the world. It literally feels like someone has inflated a massive balloon inside my bowels and it can be so painful 😣. And I fully understand the emotional impact it has. You literally feel like you’re three times the size you normally are (not that there is anything wrong with being “bigger”, it’s more about the fact you don’t feel like yourself, or see yourself as you actually are in the mirror). I’ve recently really struggled with bloating (went off the depo - contraception, and trust me, bloating is definitely closely linked with hormones, as well!) and it has really eaten away at my self-esteem. Thank you for sharing your experience and for making the rest of us here feel less alone with this. I can only hope that everyone tries to be kind to themselves in these uncomfortable moments ❤️.

Recently though me and my doctors finally admitted it is not a gastrointestinal issue but more a gynecological issue to do with ovarian cysts. So for all of you ladies here, if no diet is making you better try to go to your gyno and investigate this option. You never know.

They cannot be 'cured' per se, just managed so I got hormones for that. If the cysts are too big a problem surgery is an option but it just deals with current ones and doesn't prevent them from developing.

When I'm bloated really badly, my stomach not only protrudes out into this tight ass balloon, but my back literally gets bloated too. And it causes my back to bend over and it's just the worst.

    i feel like this topic isn't taken seriously, though 20-30% of women experience at least some form of abnormal bloating at some point. more than one in ten women have serious problem with their digestion (and everything related to it).

    Hey Becky, I suffer with the same thing. I had a comprehensive stool test done and found out I had gut dysbiosis. I'm going to try and balance out my gut with essential oils. This could be the case for you too. I've also tried the low fodmap diet and basically every diet out there and supplements, to no avail. It really does get you down doesn't it. Hope you're feeling better soon xx

    Yes! Yes! Mine too! It's like I've swallowed a glass ball. And my ribs are dying in pain and it doesn't go away for hours, then the cramps are immense. I sweat, and I'm freezing cold. Moving never works for me, and that burning dull ache can last for days and I can't walk properly, no. I cna't believe how similar our pains are, no one else seems to feel it like I do. It's why the docs give me that "you're pampered and whining over gas" look. It's just so cruel to be treated like that, and that's what effects me mentally and makes me sad.
    I'm sorry that it agitates your eating disorder too, that must be very hard for you *virtual hug*. I don't care how swelled I am, with the way I look it's the only meaty looking part of me, a big torso. I look sickly and it's not getting better, so to feel the pressure of bloat with this body, I just cry. Especially when the weather heats up and I want ice cream and cakes and can't eat them without that, and palpatations of the heart. Tea really helps, thank you for that. I didn't know if that would help for me reading it on a website, but hearing it from a person I believe it.

    Positive message thanks Becky x does your ibs get worse with stress and certain foods?

Keep making the videos ,it really helps to hear of others experiences with this condition 👍😊

  • @doves750
    @doves750 6 лет назад +7

    I am miserable in the extreme when bloating hits me and i tend to want to isolate myself. Like you it definitely affects my mood and i can feel totally incapacitated.
    It feels like there's rocks tumbling around in my stomach and the pain can be severe. I've had too many times to mention where the pain was so bad i was literally bent over double and could not even stand up straight. It zaps my energy too and makes me feel like i want to crawl out of my skin. It even affects my sleep.
    What has helped me somewhat it the past: Ginger tablets, charcoal tabs, digestive enzymes..Peppermint didn't really help me much. There was a super strength ginger drink called 'Rochesters' ginger'
    that i used to think helped a little bit, but be warned; it tastes a bit like neat whiskey; you'd need to dilute it.
    But none of these helped as much as the low Fodmap diet. Prevention is definitely better than cure.
    Also hot teas, chocolate rice cakes & chocolate too (I think the high fat content helped to get things moving!) - Like i need any excuse! Ha!
    Sometimes i used to suffer for days at a time as it took so long for the food to move through my system, like one day after the other. I can honestly say it affected my personality for the worse.
    What i found helped significantly was to take magnesium tablets before bed & they have a slight laxative effect which can help so much also. Not every night however, just sometimes! ;)

I have to wear loose shirts everyday and often walk around with my pants unbuttoned. I make myself feel better by normalizing the situation. I always tell my roomate "Oh look, the baby's back." And I sometimes show her how "pregnant" I am :)

I pretty much only drink water or have Yogi or Traditional Medicinals tea.

      Hi Redrose - low FODMAP can help for some people, but for a lot of others it doesn't completely solve the problem because IBS isn't all about diet. I used to struggle with IBS bloating and constipation and it's been under control for 15 years now! Now I have a channel specifically for IBS so I can teach people how to get better like I did, and I just released a vid on bloating!

My tummy is quite tender and sore and I also get the sharp pains when it’s really bad. I use a tablet called Buscopan. Is a natural plant that stops spasms in the gut. This could really help you!!! And I also drink a lot more water/hot water bottle and salad to help calm and clear out my bloated belly. Hope this helps. Looking forward to the next video xxx
