    It's like a never ending stomach ache and on some days it's worse and sometimes it's better

    • @BeckyExcell

      Hope today is one of the better days! x

      This is just superb, I been tryin to find out about "lower back pain ibs symptoms" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Mackorny Defeat IBS Blueprint - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it

    My pet peeve is the "well I know someone with IBS and they do this and it helps/cured them you should do the same" yes because what works for one works for all 🙄

    • @BeckyExcell
      @BeckyExcell  7 років тому +14

      Exactly, if IBS was the same for everyone there would probably be a cure! The problem is everyone is different!! x

    • @valleegirlgames3449
      @valleegirlgames3449 4 роки тому +3

      I hate this as well. I know they mean well but I'm sorry, your uncle's friend's brother's wife's ibs isn't most likely to be the exact same as mine so thanks but no thanks, Tim. I'm not interested.
      The second worse thing in this particular area for me especially is my mom "educating herself" by googling "how to cure IBS" 🙄 like it's a common cold cured by warm blankets, some head cold pills, and a cuppa 🙄🙄 she even found a video she swore up and down for, of some "doctor" explaining what ibs was and how to cure it though "healthy food, excercise, and meditation"
      What? No! That isn't a cure! Sure, it'll maybe help soothe flare ups, or improve overall health or something along those lines but as a cure specifically for ibs? Nah.
      That's like telling a patient with terminal cancer "y'know if you did more yoga, you wouldn't have cancer anymore."

    "Does having IBS mean you might suddenly crap yourself?" Well actually, if you also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder on top of IBS like me, yes. Yes, it kind of does lol. Its a very unfortunate combination of things to have since IBS triggers my anxiety, and anxiety triggers my IBS. And with GAD literally EVERYTHING makes you anxious for absolutely no reason. Its a viscous cycle that makes it very hard to live a normal life, have a job, socialize, go to school, etc.

    • @BeckyExcell
      @BeckyExcell  7 років тому +7

      Heya, crikey that sounds awful. I definitely know how stress really messes with how my stomach feels, so I can only imagine the combination of GAD & IBS. I hope you are doing ok, really sorry to hear how horrible it must be :( xx

    @Sarah-ty5ev 7 років тому +65

    I also hate when people who know nothing about IBS try to tell me that they know how to fix it... I get that they want to be helpful, but I wish they could understand that there isn't a cure, and just because something helps someone doesn't mean it will help everyone with IBS.

    • @BeckyExcell
      @BeckyExcell  7 років тому +4

      Totally with you on that, IBS is a very individual thing, everyone has it slightly differently because we are all different!

    @MarisaProntaut 7 років тому +75

    I'm gluten intolerant & lactose intolerant and it sucks when people are like "that must suck, what can you eat?" A lot of companies are coming out with gluten free and lactose free things so it's only getting easier for me to find "normal" foods that I can eat without suffering from pain and feeling horrible all day. Another thing that I hear is "Eating a little bit won't hurt you, you'll be okay." That's a super frustrating comment.

    • @BeckyExcell
      @BeckyExcell  7 років тому +8

      completely agree, eating a little of something definitely wont help a situation. I think it is hard for people to understand who don't have the same problems sadly :(

    as an older person who has lived with IBS her whole life. the younger generation seems to find it amuzing that I suffer from pain and other symptoms. it still embarrasses me after 59 years. and I am so glad you posted this.

  • @oliviapowell9349
    @oliviapowell9349 6 років тому +36

  • @sarahsalles98
    @sarahsalles98 7 років тому +51

    I have IBS and I eat everything I want because it's just stronger than me lmao.I do eat pretty healthy though.
    My IBS is IBS- C so it actually helps to eat some spicy foods at times, just to show that everyone's IBS is different and what works for me isn't gonna work for another sufferer.
    The fact that I'm bloated all the time is what bothers me most. If I don't go to the bathroom for only 1 day I will look 3 months pregnant and the pain is just terrible. I feel my intestines cramping and all I can do is curl up in a ball. Also when people don't understand the pain and when I don't want to go out or just want to stay at home all day and they judge me. It's not the end of the world but it's a pain in the ass... literally.

    • @BeckyExcell
      @BeckyExcell  7 років тому +4

      Hi Sarah, yeah totally get you here. My IBS sounds very similar to yours, I think I am pretty much permanently bloated, I can't remember the last time I wasn't! It is really tough and a definitely pain in the ass!!! Hope you are coping ok with everything though x

      I too feel like same.. always bloated..I think it is sometimes feel like I had some kind of weight in my stomach like a stone..if I don't go to bathroom one day..I am now trying to change my diet.. actually banana , orange had helped me a lot..also drinking hot water with lemon in morning also helps me ..

      Mannie Manolo it is all in your head, they took that the wrong way, stress leads to ibs therefore it is in your head

    • @PositivevIBS
      @PositivevIBS 6 років тому +1

      Matt Foley It's not "all" in a person's head. Your digestive system, the bacteria in your gut, also play a part. "Stress" can influence your symptoms in a negative way but it doesn't cause or lead to IBS. To be clear, there is still no known cause for IBS. We just have a better understanding of what triggers it negatively.

  • @darrielaustria3966

      Yes your right but right now,im healing my ibs and it is effective.i only eat lowfodmap right now for 3 months but im still on the 18th day of my healing process and it reduces my fatigue,depression,bloating and emotional trouble and im confident that ibs is curable.

    @seekittycat 4 роки тому +5

    Living with parents during Corona. So lots of:
    "You're not bloated you're just fat"
    "How can you possibly have a stomach ache everyday?"
    "Finish your plate"
    "Why are you always in the bathroom? You have to learn to share."
    Can't wait to go back to my own place. IBS is so much easier living alone. I wonder if I'll live alone forever.

    "I think I got a bit of that sometimes" it kills me inside almost as much as fast food. I loved that you pointed out its mainly women who talk about ibs when it seems in life men are more willing to talk about things like this. Either way. This was a great video. Thank you for making it!

    @JayOrtiz922 7 років тому +37

    I have really bad ibs, so when I was put on the elimination diet I found that I couldn't eat from a lot of major groups so it's hard to find new foods that are still nutritious.

    • @BeckyExcell

    @antoinettejohnson6251 6 років тому +9

    Yep, I relate to all of them; but, what gets me are the folks who not only think I'm exaggerating (lying) but also believe I'm just being a "picky" eater. During really bad flare-ups, I've actually had to go home because I soiled myself. It's horribly embarrassing! Yet until recently, I didn't always speak up for myself and tow the line for my own health; so I'd just eat whatever people served. Lately, after a horrible arthritis flare-up, I've been more diligent about familiarizing myself with the arthritis diet (no nightshades) anti-inflammatory diet, vegan ketogenic diet and then stumbled upon information about the low FODMAP protocol. I'm so exhausted from being unwell for so long that I'm determined to find what will finally work for me. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, ideas and life hacks with us. I'm so glad I found your channel!

    • @BeckyExcell
      @BeckyExcell  6 років тому +2

      Hi Antoinette, no problem at all - glad my videos can help you :) So sorry to hear about your struggles it isn't fair is it. I definitely used to hate when people didn't really believe me :( x

    • @antoinettejohnson6251
      @antoinettejohnson6251 6 років тому

      Becky Excell, thanks for your reply. Yes, it sucks; but I'm the type of person who seeks solutions rather than sitting around feeling sorry for myself. Besides I figure those people who speak to me out of ignorance only because they can't relate. I'm sure they have situations in their lives that I can't fully relate to also. While I try to empathize, I'm sure I've offered a cliche here or there - just trying to be helpful. So I try not to take it to heart or hold it against them. Mostly I try to use it as a teaching moment so, hopefully, they won't make erroneous assumptions or those types of comments to anyone else. Your channel is not only like an IBS support group but it's also very educational for open-minded people. Thanks again!

  • @Mrjeffgriff
    @Mrjeffgriff 5 років тому +4

    thank you for having this channel, I was being diagnosed about a month ago with IBS C and feel like the whole world just turn 360. I have anxiety at the same time and feel like everyday now becomes even more challenging. I don't understand why this happens and feel like so much changes had to be made and I am not sure if things are going to get better. There are days feels good and there are days i wish i am dead. I am not having severe constipation, instead, having diarrhea and then it would really hard to pass motion even though it is not hard. Cramping and bloating on certain days. I can't even work properly cause i need to go to the toilet most of the time either feeling to defecate or to pee. I am also seeing a psychologist for my anxiety and learn about meditation and relaxing hypnotherapy. However, the cramping is so annoying. I have lost some weight and on elimination diet.....feel so tired......

  • @nic4now344
    @nic4now344 6 років тому +2

    I just found your channel and I wanted to thank you for posting these IBS uploads - it’s kind of comforting when you hear or read something from someone who really “gets” it. I have IBS-D and recently I have been really struggling with this - luckily I work from home or else I would find it even more difficult. I have started to take Heather’s Tummy Fibres soluble fibres and for me they have been so helpful. I have been “stable” for the first time in months for 5 days and counting - those of you with IBS-D won’t think it’s strange that I am counting the days :). My doctors have not been at all helpful - they only became interested at all because my blood iron count is 7 when it should be 12 at least. If you have been struggling to eat healthily for 7 years or so it’s easy to cause malnutrition. Videos like yours are really helpful in seeing what other people eat and how they cope. X

    I have lbs where it goes from constipation then to diarrhea and digestion problems. It's really aggravating trying to explain why I can't eat certain foods.

      It must so aggravating and annoying and I don’t even have ibs, but I can only imagine what you go through on a regular basis. I hope someday you find the right diet, exercise and routine to manage it. When you have ibs with constipation and diarrhoea is called IBS-M, meaning mixed bowel movements. I know I don’t you and you don’t know me, but I am here for you if you need an ear to talk to and I’ll be listening. Take care ☺️☺️☺️

    Thank you for being so open about your IBS. It took 6 years for me to be diagnosed. It started when I was 11, extreme vomiting,stomach pains and diarrhea. Dr said it was puberty. The next 6 years I went through hell with it. I took my 9th grade finals drugged up on PM Midol because I was having a never ending flair! I missed the first day of 10 grade, had to make up one day of finals one year, wouldn't spend the night anywhere, missed out on so much my teen age years. During this time my parent's would take me to the Dr and one actually said she saw it all the time in teenagers, IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD. My mother almost punched her. I had a bad flair the week I was suppose to go on my senior trip and my mother decided to take me back to the Dr to see if anything they could do so I could go. I was just done with them! An intern walked in, put down my 5 inch file, looked at me and said "I know exactly what is wrong with you, you suffer from ribs" and I was like ok, right what ever. Confirmation came weeks later. I missed my senior trip. I think the hardest thing hearing was from my grandmother, "it's all in your head, don't think about it, it's not that bad, it's all that pasta they feed you at your school,.." I loved her dearly, but what a crock! One last thing, for the childless ladies, labor feels like a severe flair😱

      Aww really sorry to hear that, but also really pleased you went to the doctors and got checked out. At least you then know what you really need to do.

    @onefinechannel682 6 років тому

    Love this! From my experience, there is often so much more than just IBS for people(particularly in nerve related cause). I read so many stories of people with multiple diagnosis(ex/Gastroparesis & IBS). So when people ask what's wrong with you, you just have to shrug because who knows and you don't fit into a nice diagnosis box that doctors have. It sucks to not fit into a box that people can understand and sympathize with, but gut stuff is so individual.... no one can fit into such a specific label that people want to put you in.

    • @onefinechannel682
      @onefinechannel682 6 років тому

      If I made my own video on "things ibs people don't want to hear....." I would add your comment to the list. You should NEVER promise anyone relief with some magical treatment. People that have severe issues often have to try many things and there is not often one treatment or thing to help. Next time make your own comment and not reply to others.

  • @NaeOnYT

    As someone with IBS who CAN eat gluten, I often get the opposite as well: "How can you eat gluten if you have IBS?" Some people just don't realize food triggers are very individual, but others are really condescending about it, like, "If you can eat bread, you definitely don't have IBS."

    *”Do you know what’s wrong with you?” or “Maybe you should go see a doctor?”* - Thanks for the recommendation genius! This is by far my biggest annoyance. Like they somehow managed to solve my stomach problems with one simple question I couldn’t have possibly thought of on my own.
    *”Stop hogging the toilet.” Or “Do you really need to be in there that long?*
    *”See you in an hour.”* - Said to me when I’m getting up to go use restroom.
    *”Have you tried not eating (instead food here)? I bet it’s from all the (food type) you eat.”*

      I have IBS-D for over 30 years now. Can relate to so many of these, plus here’s a few of my own.
      1) Recently started a new probiotic Earth’s Pearls, amazing improvement in my symptoms (order it from Amazon). Started out 3 a day. Now take 1 am , 1 pm.
      2) Cold temperatures makes mine much worse. I avoid ice in drinks. Always carry a wrap or sweater in summer in case air conditioning is too cold. Dress in layers in winter, extra shirts.
      3) I have less problems with bloating if I eat sourdough bread vs any other type of bread.
      4) I can not tolerate any kind of lettuce, not even touching my food, it will immediately bring on explosive symptoms. So I have to tell waitstaff at restaurants that I am allergic to lettuce, that it can not touch my plate not even as a garnish. It’s amazing the number of times I’ve received plates with lettuce. Such as shrimp appetizer. Egg rolls. Tacos. Even a Filet Mingon. 😂 Once had a restaurant remake my hamburger 3 times before they got it right. I have to tell them you can’t just put the food on a different plate, it’s already touched the lettuce this food will make me sick. Don’t get angry, because stress just makes IBSD worse. Just keep calmly explaining you can’t eat the food the way they prepared it, it’s not the way you ordered it.

    "It's all in your head" is the most aggravating one I hear from my folks. What makes living with my IBS-C worse is I have aspergers, pervasive developmental disorder, and anxiety disorder and because of that another one I typically get is, "just don't worry about it and you'll be fine" and well it doesn't quite work. I have one medicine for my IBS-C and it sometimes works. My flare ups range from the levels of mild annoyance to debilitating pain and I'm confined to a bathroom most of the day. Work is almost impossible.

Then I go on and list all the big no nos and then say theres some things I can maybe tolerate a bit of. I think when people ask these kinds of questions they want a short answer that they can easily digest (no pun intended).

  • @julietrc15
    @julietrc15 6 років тому +1

    The worst part for me (and I've heard it from doctors as well as from friends/family/acquaintances) is that it's not possible that I have IBS-D because if I did I'd be thinner. I had a psychiatrist tell me once that I was too overweight (which I'm not) to have chronic diarrhea.
    I don't have the best relationship with my body and I usually use food as a way of basically punishing myself. But even when I'm eating well and following my low FODMAP diet, it's not like I lose weight!
    I hate having this condition and it affects my every day life so badly (together with GAD) but if there's one thing I'm thankful for it's that it has made me much more sympathetic to other people's pain.

    One thing that I am tired of hearing (as I am just now getting medical help and a proper diagnosis at 24) is that I need to be aggressive about explaining my symptoms and demand better care at the Dr.. The US healthcare system can make you wait a long time for appointments and procedures. I'm having a hard enough time just managing my symptoms and eating enough and I have anxiety that keeps me house bound most days. If they really wanted to help, they could come with me and advocate for me, but it always seems to be my fault if I have to wait for care or the doctors don't have answers.

    It's all in your head..my response has been..sit next to if I had eaten something that I should not have eaten for half an hour. Survive that ordeal and then perhaps we can talk. Always works for me.
