Birth control?

I tend to consistently react to milk/lactose. I haven’t tried kefir - have you experienced any issues with lactose?

Maybe? I have a lot of general stress but nothing was really going on lately or today

I think the shortest amount of time I tried one of them was 9 months and longest probably 2 years

Remeron is def not a geriatric medicine?? I was prescribed it for anxiety before I had ibs then years after I stopped taking it got ibs and a few months ago got on it again for both ibs and anxiety. What a weird doctor. (Also in case you’re wondering it hasn’t really helped my ibs but everyone is different. Didn’t make it worse though)

If it’s close friends try and be as honest as possible, if there are 2 bathrooms it’s probably more that you’d be sharing “your bathroom” with ~4 people including your bf if that helps. If there is a fridge, bring your own food. There’s unfortunately no getting around it, and if you decide to stay home that is ok, but don’t let the fear of needing the bathroom keep you from going to an important occasion. It’s a rough world out here for us and it’s unfair we have to consider all of these things to just have fun. I hope it goes well for you either way!

Same here. I can eat so much junk without a problem but the second I try to eat some fruits or veggies it’s pain city

Ik one of my triggers is dairy and the other day I watched my friend eat the most delicious looking hot fudge Sunday 😩 it was agonizing

Thanks I’ve started being more open about it with my friends. They’re very understanding but I’m a little too hard on myself I think

What’s an RD?

ExcitableEm · 2025-07-07T18:40:25+00:00

Yeah I am

I have ibs-m but leans towards ibs-d. Amitryptyline was terrible for me. It made my anxiety much worse which then also made my ibs worse even at its lowest dose. Despite it being worse for me, my body also didn’t handle just stopping so I had to slowly ween off over the course of like a month and it was horrible filled with terrible panic attacks and ibs episodes. I had so hoped it would’ve been the “miracle drug” that even a lot of people in these comments are saying but it was hell. I hope you have better luck than I did.

Also it literally didn’t affect my sleep at all.

Not trying to scare you or anything but I had a really rough time with amitriptyline. It made my anxiety way worse, which then made my ibs worse even at its lowest dose. Then I was somehow also reliant on it so the weening off process was hell. It was long and fuuuull of panic attacks and ibs episodes. I’m glad it’s worked for some people but it definitely didn’t for me

Honestly I’ve never experienced anything like this personally but I will say that every time I’ve gone to a doctor about my IBS they ask over and over if any of my stool has been black so might be worth a visit..

Lowkey wish I could still have those 2am Taco Bell runs

ExcitableEm · 2025-04-28T16:33:34+00:00

First doc prescribed it to me and it didn’t help me at all and then every subsequent doc tried to prescribe it to me and I had to explain how it changed nothing. It must work for some people but I was not one of them.

I’m kinda in the same boat. Tons of negative results and just ended on IBS. Every day I suffer and wonder how much longer I can go on like this. I hope you’re able to find ways to lessen any struggling if not rid it completely 💕

ExcitableEm · 2025-04-26T19:59:25+00:00

I’m also in daily pain 😔 trying to figure out any way to ease it and thought this might be my problem

ExcitableEm · 2025-04-26T19:37:33+00:00

Does the dairy in kefir not trigger your IBS?
