Found this site today. Since misery loves company, I thought it would be helpful to be able to exchange idea. I am so tired of feeling yukky.

Support Groups
Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
I have had stomach problems off and on for years. Last spring my current dr. ran tests, could find nothing wrong and believes I have IBS. I go for several weeks and feel fine, then all of a sudden feel crappy. This is where I am now. I believe stress is a factor. I am currently trying to figure out what foods set me off. I hate this.
Treatments
- Acidophilus Somewhat Helpful
- I've read that this will introduce good bacteria in the digestive system, and to me that makes sense
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Too Soon to Tell
- Fresh raw veggies; spicy foods such as chiles; high fat foods such as bacon, seem to be a factor
- Chamomile Working / Worked
- I have been drinking chamomile tea for a long time, usually in the evening. It soothes and relaxes me so I can sleep.
- Colace Working / Worked
- I have to use this several times a week to keep my bowel movements regular
- Ginger Working / Worked
- This really does soothe my stomach for a time
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Prune juice, nasty as it is, is my friend. Not to bad if it is icy cold and chugged. I drink an 8 oz glass 3-4 times a week and it generally loosens things up.
- Probiotics Working / Worked
- This really does help, the commercials are right! I eat one at least every other day. And they are delicious!
Close Sciatica
I felt a muscle in my lower right back pop a few weeks ago when reaching for a snow shovel, of all things...it gradually developed into sciatica in my right leg. Some days are better than others...sometimes those "other" days hold excrutiating pain. Would appreciate any hints for treatment.
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Somewhat Helpful
- It will dull the pain for a while. Hate to take too much because I also have IBS
- Stretching Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes walking helps alleviate the pain
- Tylenol Working / Worked
- Use the extra strength, and it helps enough where I can at least sleep.
