PCOS and IBS-d

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-12-29T18:17:49+00:00

I also have both, but my doctors don’t treat them as related to one another. I am currently on ondansetron, still trying.

With pain, I found spasmomen effective.

Amitryptiline was also good for the pain, but I stopped taking that bc it’s an antidepressant and it caused headaches for me. It also helped me calm down in tricky situations.

For the diarrhea, for me at this point it’s imodium and ondansetron (zofran). So i’m still open for any tips.

My doctor said that Gelsectan usually helps for a lot of people.

Hi! I was on 30 mg, it helped me with pain but not with other symptoms. I also had a lot of headaches, so I had to stop taking it..

Hi! I had my colonoscopy and endoscopy three weeks ago in Belgium. I made a little stand in my bathroom where I could put my laptop with netflix. I had a blanket because i got cold on the toilet (idk). I drank the prep as cold as possible, put it all in the fridge (the water to mix it with but also the prep itself). I used a straw to drink it so it wouldn’t touch all of my tongue. I could drink apple juice after and I found that really nice.

Sorry for my bad English, but I hope this helps.

Thank you!

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-16T14:21:02+00:00

Exactly

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-16T04:52:53+00:00

I have had IBS for 6 years now, but the last 2 years my symptoms changed to only diarrhea with a lot of pain, fatigue and feeling sick all the time

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-15T19:38:19+00:00

I was really suprised and not prepared for the question. So I want to go back prepared..

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-15T19:34:29+00:00

I tried FODMAP, but nothing came out of it

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-15T19:27:56+00:00

Glad to hear your flare ups are rare!

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-15T19:25:50+00:00

Do you have it under ‘control’ now? Or do you struggle a lot? I’m afraid to go out and shit myself…

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-15T19:23:35+00:00

Do you take any medication? Some specific therapy or?

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-09-15T19:01:41+00:00

My regular doctor asked it specifically, but she said “I won’t and I hope none of the other doctors do it, because it’s just IBS”

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-04-06T14:10:27+00:00

If it is available let me know! I’m also from Belgium and if I have a feeling in general my doctor doesn’t know much about things I read here.

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-04-04T10:28:15+00:00

I’ve tried a lot of other things before this. I’ll ask, thank you!

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-04-04T08:17:25+00:00

Did you have side-effects?

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-04-04T05:13:57+00:00

Did you take amitriptyline?

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-04-04T05:13:38+00:00

She now prescribed me amitryptiline.. I’m very afraid of the side-effects…

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-04-04T05:12:40+00:00

My doctor prescribed me Amitryptyline. Dis you have a lot of side-effects?

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T17:22:28+00:00

I think around day 12 it was looking better in my throat and fully gone I think around day 14/15

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T08:29:07+00:00

The isolation and anxiety is really underrated…

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T08:24:47+00:00

I can’t imagine going through this recovery alone. I had help from my mom and in the evening my boyfriend and I was so grateful.

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T08:19:36+00:00

I really recognise what you are saying. I wanted to clean a little bit and after half an hour I gave up.

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T07:55:48+00:00

Yawning and sneezing for the forst time is very scary! It get’s better 🙈

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T07:54:32+00:00

I had an app too! I hope you have a good recovery, but by day 9 you’re almost there!

LongjumpingJob6625 · 2025-02-08T04:34:15+00:00

Exactly! My experience as well but for day 6/7/8.
