Who has learned to manage their IBS?

and how did you do it? Issues with getting a correct diagnosis? And if you are way better now how did you do it? If you don't know what IBS is you probably don't have it. But I will talk to anyone here with something helpful to say...TY

Get tested for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and get treatment for it, if you have it. It's really common with motility disorder (ibs falls under that) and makes symptoms a lot worse. My gi said most people with either too slow or too fast digestion have some bacterial imbalance to deal with.

@SwampFlower I skipped the motility test and just told the doc that the motility was "fast".

I already fired my first doc and probably many more to come. The don't like YOU telling them what to do. But I can try.

@Stilltryinghard I have fired entire health systems for such negligence. Best of luck. 🤗

@SwampFlower I am getting to that point. My next doc works for a system that already fired me..from the complete SYSTEM.

So this should be very interesting with their filthy underhanded politics (of who gets good treatment and who doesn't deserve it)...

TY again!
