It’s little consolation when you’re terrified of eating anything!
Anything fried is out the question. I will be ill for days. Its hard work when my fella wants to take me out for food have to make sure it's somewhere that can cater for me. Really miss spaghetti bolegnese and pasta and meatballs, cheesecake, toffee Danish. I do find buscopan helps ease my bloating when I'm having an episode. I'm 5ft as well so it's very noticeable. Some days it's like I have a massive balloon in my belly that needs to be popped.It’s little consolation when you’re terrified of eating anything!
Whilst it’s annoying not to have any answers, don’t forget to be relieved that doctor isn’t concerned re any chronic conditions . Hopefully the dietician will be able to provide some support.
Did they do biopsies for microscopic colitis?
I dont know. I had to give them bloods and samples of my eh hem 'bowel deposits'. Everything came back normal but doc prescribed me buscopan anyways. I do find it helps tbf. I've always had a funny digestive system it's got worse as I've gotten older. Tomato based things and pastry gives me terrible heartburn as well. Very limited on what I can eat I've dropped a stone and a half in the past year or so purely out of food I've had to cut out. I have the odd day I just eat what I want and duck me I suffer for it for days after.
Yeah that can happen for me during a flare. In remission right now but that can happen after drinking tea or finishing a meal with fibre in
Thanks, it's just weird how a mouthful can do that in an instant. I hate it, I couldn't eat out like this.
Yeah, it can put you off eating full stop!
Saying that I think it’s lack of sleep/dehydration/I ate a spicy dinner with tomatoes in last night & just in general not eating well. Mine disappeared when I was pregnant too! The blood could be a tear, you're best contacting the GP xI’ve had IBS since a teenager ( now late 20s). Since having my son 7weeks ago I’ve had non stop flare for the last 2weeks. But the difference is there been some blood in it (red) & it’s been so mucus filled. I’m absolutely dreading if it is just IBS or something more
My IBS disappeared in pregnancy! Anyone find the same?
The benefit of pregnancy!
ulcerative colitis here. Been on Azathioprine for years but I've been in a flare up for a few months and keep having 
accidents 🫠 Got a colonoscopy tomorrow and have drank the first litre of moviprep which was disgusting as usual 
The prep is terrible! Definitely the worst thing about the whole process. Hope it all goes well for you.Oh I've found my people
I've gotta set my alarm for 6am on a Sunday bloody morning and drink another litre 
pray for me 
My consultant said to put lime cordial in it and honestly it didn’t help the taste at all and now I can’t even smell lime without it turning my stomachThe prep is the devil's juice
I put it in a gin glass to try trick myself into thinking it was a G&t but it didn't workMy consultant said to put lime cordial in it and honestly it didn’t help the taste at all and now I can’t even smell lime without it turning my stomach
