Переглядів 34 тис.7 років тому
IBS can be super embarrassing, I get that, but in a bid to help break the poo taboo (one of my fave phrases), I'm sharing more of my story. Back in October 2016 I wrote a favourite blog post of mine, 10 Embarrassing Things About IBS That I’m Not Afraid to Share, and was overwhelmed by all the comments and Tweets that I received. So much so, I decided I’d recreate this post in video form, just f...

I can relate to the loud stomach and running to the bathroom.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
What a brilliant video. Sums it all up. The planning takes the enjoyment out of every long trip or social event. It's a horrible issue and can be debilitating but like you say, you'll never know unless you're in that position. People say "well just go the toilet..."... and they don't get the anxiety if you're sitting there up a mountain enjoying the views with not a toilet in sight. Takes the living out of life.
Brilliant video & well explained... Thank Poo
I have had IBS only for a short while, after being newly lactose intolerant. Once I had to 'go' within 15 mins after a coffee at cafe in the park. Yes, I took a risk. It was a disaster. It was dusk and the toilets were closed.... yes you know what happened. Just walking through the farmers market which was busy was hell. My partner was with me and he put his waterproof jacket round me. i was a mess when I got home and had a shower. Boyfriend believes how bad I am now. After that time I much more careful (sometimes) and I started to buy 'adult nappies' and waterproof pants if I am a busy peopley area. I have also a change of clothes ie waterproof trousers in my bag just in case.. As for a mini skirt no way lol Dark trousers can hide so many things. I have started to wear elasticated waist trousers. I have just bought myself a Medical card on Amazon and a Radar toilet for key for emergencies. I can relate to a lot you say. I think the worst thing for me is the pain
Stumbled across the video after struggling with another flare up. IBS is controlling my life and it’s miserable. Thank you for sharing your story and for your honesty. How are you now?
I need a portable toilet in my car because if your out there are no bathrooms anywhere. It's infuriating especially for people with IBS!
I don't miss work or social functions but I avoid some people and situations because I'm afraid of shitting myself in front of people or just having people see the sweat and distress on my face. I have had embarrassing situations before that I now try to avoid at all cost!
We need to be friends!
The hardest thing for me with IBS is if there's no access to a bathroom in public then I panic. I've had to take desperate measures in those cases which I won't go into but it's good to know there are so many other people that share my struggle.
Are you fine now??
I ben dealing with it for 5 years and it sucks. Wen I have ibs it flares my anxiety up so bad or opposite. even wen I feal like I have beat anxiety then I have a ibs flare up it brings it back
Hi Jo. This is me. I have googled and UA-cam for 3 years thinking something wrong. And have argued with Drs saying this is something more. Best video i have seen and only one i have commented on. Thankyou. How are you now?,
Personally the most embarrassing thing is the sounds and noises There so lound and sound horrible and is just embarrassing. Also the gas thing is embarrassing too. Also the thing of you needing the toilet all the time is just annoying Trust me I do my self a lovely meal then I need to the toilet! Overall its so embarrassing to have IBS (coming from me who have had it for 5years) Also IBS makes you very sick sometimes and very ill it's very bad
OMG your story about the train! Just 2 weeks ago I got the meanest stomache cramps on the end of my 1:30 bus trip home. I could not hold it in, i got heat flashes and had to call my aunt to pick me up at the station. Whenever the feeling of having to go on the bus I get depressed and hate life. Last time this happened before my work shift ( in an industry area) I had to go and the business next to us did not allow me inside, worst day at work!
Up watching with IBS at 2am, the joys lol the train incident happened to me today. The dread! Thank you for sharing, don't feel alone :)
Have you tried Xifaxan? My doctor just prescibed this for my IBS-D yesterday. Obviously I haven't started it yet, but she said it is a 2 week course of antibiotics specifically made to "reset" the gut bacteria and flora. She did not promise it would work - she said that it only works for about a fourth of the people who try it - but if it DOES work, it will work like a charm! I am 64 and have suffered with this syndrome for almost my entire life. I don't really remember a time when I didn't have it. Your videos are very refreshing. Thank God for women like you who are not afraid to tell your story. Back in my youth, this was unheard of. I thought I was the only person in the world who had tummy issues because no one spoke about it!
Rabbit does trigger ibs
Omg I love u
Thanks for this video. This is how it is. Yes, we need your experiences. I am going to find out where the loos are. I absolutely hate walking in the Royal Parks as they are 20p and you have to pay Contactless and I don't have one of those cards. I do recommend taking some waterproof over trousers just in case you have a disaster, they are easy to put on top and you can put them on without a loo. I would recommend taking a small camping loo seat with a hole in it, you can be discreet and have a coat over you.
Have a look at the biffy bags online or the wag bags.
What's the difference between a gurgle and a rumble? 🤔
Just fart
Today I was in the bank, it was a normal day , there were like 4 people in the queue waiting to the Watchman to open so we could get in , eventually he appeared and we got in, as soon as we got in ( the bank) the supervisor took the keys and locked the exit door, I noticed that and I had a panic attack I felt the fear of having to go to a bathroom I swear to god that I was almost shitting my pants, I started to feel dizzy , sweat really bad and my breathing turned very short, it was like a nightmare and everything turn even worse when the guy with the keys disappeared , I thought that I was going to die just right there , I started to close my eyes and telling myself that I had control over the situation , the queue was moving as well so I was focused on my diligence ,when I saw again the guy with the keys I asked (almost beggin him ) if he could open the door, once he did so. I felt a big relief ,but I was really destroyed , almost in tears due to the things that I can't do like a normal person ,I have ulcerative colitis and this illness is invisible for the rest of the people , Sometimes I think I was not designed for this world, this illness keeps getting me away from basic things , I'm just begging god to take me away.
i had an ibs flare on a coconut shake that im p sure didnt have dairy in it.
imagine the things i could do if i didnt have ibs LOL
ibs is literally ruining my life
my stomach is fine with alcohol but 1 cup of coffee isnt ok? imagine how tired i am LOL
ive never had ibs in a plane but its always on road trips because there's no access to a toilet at all. i just try to cope with a breathing technique for everything and it doesn't always work lol
Hv anyone suffer with severe weight loss with ibs
My flare up has been for over a month don’t know how much longer I can handle it 😞
Same
@@katiestar5245 haha it’s been a year and it still hasn’t gone away buscapan mint really soothes the cramp
IBS sufferers, try one table spoon of pure natural honey and add nigella sativa (black) seeds on it and eat it first thing in the morning every day..they will help..in the islamic tradition these two things are used to help with many health issues..comment below after trying it and let me know if it helps
lmaooooo black sativa no thanks
I am afraid I might need a loo, but don't have IBS. When the train doors close, I instantly need a toilet. When the doors open, the feeling goes away. No way I could do a 50min train though. Well done you. great vid.
The only nuts that are low fodmap are pecans, walnuts brazil nuts, peanuts and almonds in small amounts of each, and not all in one sitting.
I am a male I suffer from IBS really bad and irritable bowels
Can try yoga...it helps sometimes
My boyfriend has been very sick for 2 years and he was finally diagnosed with IBS. I've been looking up videos and reading as much as I can for months. I want him to feel better so badly. His stomach hurts every SINGLE day, he misses work at least once a week (he has an understanding manager so that helps), but he misses mainly 2 days every week. Constantly fatigued. The Fodmap Diet didn't do anything, he is taking peppermint pills right now... not seeing any changes, probiotics, nothing.... I'm getting really worried. His metal health is going down hill because of this. Just thought I would let you know that you guys are all so strong... this is very serious syndrome. I just hope we find something that works. I cry everyday for him. I need to be stronger as to not stress him out anymore than he already is. Thank you so much for your tips. I will maybe try to make his surroundings more relaxing. The hot water bottle sounds nice. Good luck to everyone!
You all should try full spectrum CBD. It may help you. It works for IBS. It reduces inflammation inside the gut. Plus relaxes anxiety and helps you sleep much better. Try it out.
If you do yoga cramps and stomach pain will go away bcz I have ibs and i did it and it went away
ibs is something I honestly wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. I'm very extroverted (I'm an ESFP in the Myers Briggs Personality Indicator so you can tell how hard it really is). I hate being incapable of going out somewhere & constantly having to worry about weather or not the place I'll be going to will have a bathroom. Dating and traveling is almost impossible. How am I even supposed to meet a super cute guy and tell him that "Hey, I shit a lot !". And it doesn't help that most people tend to be really mean too.
GREAT VIDEO ua-cam.com/video/2W57VebeG6Y/v-deo.html
Anybody else watch IBS vids when your currently having a flare up?
Feel like hell currently
I get bad flatulence which is the worse and just makes my anxiety worse which just starts the whole cycle.
Thank you for your honest videos. It's such a frustrating thing to live with and try to have a normal life inspite of it. For me the anxiety has gotten worse as I get older because I have suffered for 38 years with it. Can you offer any tips of how to cope with the panic and anxiety from the disabling symptoms? I would appreciate your advice because you have actually lived with IBS-D like I have.
Thank you for sharing your helper tools, otherwise! 🤘💜
Chamomile is NOT Low-Fodmap, according to the #MonashUniversity findings.
By the way, I don't think anyone realizes how bad IBS can get when you pair it with my damning symptom
I don't understand you british ppl and the way you talk. Don't get me wrong. It's not your accent. It's what you ppl say. It's like your minds are on a different wavelength as americans sometimes.
Thank you for making me not feel alone.
I had to quit my dream job because of the gurgling. I couldn't work in a quiet office environment and keep going to the loo 6 times a day.
Yes, it is quite anxiety inducing. I did it for 11 months. Couldn't take it any longer. I had to restrict my diet to help with the stomach noises. Then no coworker could understand why I couldn't eat gluten and many other foods. They didn't know about the Ibs or the noises or the gas of course, no one wants to share that info with coworkers . So I just said I have intolerances . I ran a fan on my desk even when I was freezing cold. Anything to mask the noise.
Trust me, IBS can be cured I had IBS not now i am completely cured with some medications and will power. You can also get rid of this problem. Don't spend even a single dollar in joining stupid programs and all. I can help you without charging anything, feel free to contact me on instagram "flourishyourenglish" or whatsapp me on +918826601203
