Well that was exciting. Even after all these years my IBS can still surprise me. It’s not sitting still, no way, it’s evolving, it’s creative, it’s hip and trendy and right in the now. Hurray (or, rather, hurroo).
I just had a particularly weird hour episode. It was kind of 30 seconds of fairly intense pain, then a dramatic and very audible gurgling of the gut, then a break for about three minutes, then another 30 seconds of pain, then gurgling, and so on, until after about an hour it managed to resolve itself into some painless diarrhea and that was that.
So what on earth was that about? My IBS episodes, the really bad ones, are generally about a half hour of fairly constant pain, certainly not three minute gaps in the middle. What was happening in those three minutes? Were the little IBS bugs giving it all they had in the 30 second parts and then having to stop for tea and biscuits?
Completely bizarre. And depressing, because just when you think you know what you’re dealing with, you find you don’t.
i think this is a really goos site. I have been struggling with IBS for the past 6 years and the doctors still haven’t found the rite thing for me. Some days are good and others are unbearable. But hey….Im still smiling. Looking at this site has helped as there may be a few things i can try that will finally help me!!
