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

Monitor your diet & find out if your allerguc to any foods ie dairy gluten etc eat a diet with fibre in it but not to much. Keep hydrated. I dont think I have IBS. Thats just some tips thst might help. Dont drink too much fizzy soda.
@Ciaotutti I like all that advice, I think it is sound.

The docs don't even know how to talk about FIBER!!!

@Stilltryinghard The doctors now are not very good. Gps especially
@Ciaotutti These are experts who just say "add more fiber to your diet"
They also suggest that if I bent and twisted a certain way the problem would disappear.

NO WORD about bacteria, infection, allergy or inflammation...or DIET in general. NOT ONE WORD. Not one suggestion of chronic anxiety or childhood similar crises...

They prefer to shame the patients...maybe I wasn't rich enough to avoid that.

I do not get ANY medical care anymore no matter what I do.

But they take the insurance cards and then pay themselves when I show up. Yup.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Stilltryinghard Thats terrible if you pay insurance why dont you get the care? Twist and the problem will disappear 🤔 thats crazy.

Im not sure if exercise might help though it keeps the body ticking over better.
I cant believe you cant get medical help it must be awful. 😫🤗
@Ciaotutti secret triage is the reason.

I can develop my own exercises too.
@Stilltryinghard If the fault is the standard American diet and habits its no wonder the medical racket couldn't care less what happens to us as a result. Ditto for diseases like ****** ****** and ***** ******.
