Suffering from IBS recently. I’m afraid to eat... even water makes my stomach uneasy. Any food items I can introduce to my diet slowly? Eliminated all potential trigger food

Are you seeing a GI doc? The water making you queasy thing worries me a bit. GI docs can advise you on diet and get you hooked up with the right nutritionist. As someone who went through hell because of Ulcerative Colitis (ending in major surgery), I know how bad IBS/IBD can be. And if there is any blood, see a doc immediately!

You sure that's not Norovirus? Something's been going around lately...

At any rate, try the BRAT diet until your stomach feels better. Bananas Rice Apples Toast. Room temperature water and flat ginger ale.

You might be right... I have all those symptoms but vomiting

That sucks. I have flares like this as well. For me stress really drives this. I’ve found that a little marijuana really helps. I can’t explain why. Not sure if it is for the stress or something else. Just make sure you take it easy if you get hungry :). I usually keep just eat some of the kids goldfish crackers and a banana. Also take some florastor probiotic. I take it every day and it seems to help, but it’s expensive.

I have it as well and find that stress does trigger it . Exercise and avoiding fried or processed foods helps
