Anyone has IBS here? Lately I have been having a lot of symptoms of IBS and even if I’m not fully constipated, I think I am to a certain extent. I had excruciating lower abdominal pain this afternoon and it was almost unbearable. Also, my period is approaching so I think my symptoms got worse. Anyone has any tips?

I have a different problem with IBS (ie opposite of constipated) and the only thing that’s more/less solved it is to completely cut out alcohol.

I have had all sorts of IBS symptoms for my entire adult life. Stress is one thing that exasperates it. Hormones also have a big impact.

I would definitely make an appointment with your doctor just to rule out anything more serious, but also look at your diet. Some people have sensitivities to dairy and gluten, so maybe avoid those for a couple days. It also sounds like you may need more fiber in your diet. I’m a huge fan of chia seeds. I promise they’ll get you moving unless something is seriously wrong.

What are your exact symptoms?

Yes, I've been struggling with ibs for 4 years, tried everything, nothing helped. I discovered this app Nerva and found it incredibly helpful. And secondly, I was stressed and burnt out so quitting my consulting job and living a more balanced life was the most crucial component.

Feel free to connect with me if you have any questions, I know how annoying this is.

Try citrucel

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm..

Is there a better way to frame my answer?
