no new medication
 

I am no longer open to try new medication. I can't stand the side effects and the medications I am on hardly work, klonopin and aplenzin.
For a little more than a week geodon worked and showed me what it is like to feel normal. then it stopped. I so miss those feelings but they really showed me what i am up against.
I threw out more shoes this morning and got more sleep.

I am glad that you got some more sleep!
love you

sorry you are feeling rotten.
have you ever taken probiotics?
They are supposed to help tummy issues.
they come in capsules, there is a liquid form that is good
for the tummy called kefir
It is a milk product kinda like liquid yogurt has a lot of active good cultures.
Don't know if you are allergic to dairy. you would drink 4 oz before bed and let
that be the last thing you eat or drink.
just thinking of you.

i have them but haven't taken them regularly. i have ibs.-c. i finally started going this morning after taking a laxative last night and it has been all diarrhea.it is all water. i am just having toast and coffee although i should have tea instead. i am still sleeping. i don't think it is covid.

i slept most of day and night. I still feel very gassy so my stomach is still bothering me. I wonder if it is partially related to my going cold turkey off of Pristiq. I was hardly on it.
Yesterday I just had toast. I am going to search the internet to see if there is something very bland that I can have that will help my stomach. Yesterday morning at least I thought of some food. I really think it is my irritable bowel syndrome. I thought of oatmeal but I don't do well with fiber. I have been taking peppermint capsules.
Maybe those two days of not sleeping really triggered my ibs.
Aby has been so extremely friendly. Even Pudge yesterday slept on the bed for a few hours. I have tried pills for gas but they haven't helped.

Of these potential gas treatments, peppermint oil is the only one the ACG recommends for IBS.


Why fasting might improve IBS If your symptoms occur as a response to eating — such as gas, bloating, or diarrhea after eating — Warren says that longer fasting periods (or structured meal spacing) may be useful in managing these types of symptoms. This, in turn, may have positive effects on IBS symptoms.

I intermitant fast skip breakfast and no snacking after dinner, so my eating drinking any calories window is 1130-7 pm between 7-8 hours then not eat anything else for 16 hours. I am also reducing the amount I eat and watching carbs. so no snacking after dinner.
brach's makes peppermint candies in individual wrapped pieces.maybe you could give those a try????
sorry you are dealing with cIBS C.
