Ibs

Hi guys

I've been really ill this week so went to see the doctor who thinks I have IBS. I was wondering if anyone else here suffers from this or knows someone who does and can give me tips on avoiding another severe attack in the future?

I had a crippling stomach ache on Monday which had me in so much pain that I didn't manage to get to sleep until about 4am WEDNESDAY morning!! I went almost 72 hours with no sleep (still only had about 6 hours in the last 5 days) but even more worryingly I haven't been able to eat. I must have had about 500 calories a day for about 4 days when I'm supposed to be bulking

As you can imagine I don't want to have to go through that again so need some help. My doctor wasn't much help apart from giving me some 'anti-spasmodic' drugs for my bowel and trying to research the illness on the internet is a nightmare too. Every site I go to says it can be triggered by anything and everything (or maybe nothing) which is no bloody use at all.

The only thing I've found that helps is a hot water bottle

Any suggestions?

I am reading it now, but it takes me months to read a whole book with my busy schedule!
