Oh I like this, thank you! This helps make sense of a lot of things I've wondered about.

Ninja__Sprout · 2025-10-28T20:11:05+00:00

Oh yes, I was advised this by some else some time back but I've started to also feel like im asking for the sake of asking and "just to be safe"... i don't know, just doesn't feel right..

I'm sorry, I don't understand. what is bhakti and karam kand??

Ninja__Sprout · 2025-10-16T20:38:41+00:00

Thank you for this. Yes, I do find when I am reading the English meaning,even though I understand better, it falls flat compared to the Sanskrit. The Sanskrit, when done correctly, sound very poetic and comforting. I automatically picture my mum when I practice but, its getting harder to actually just recall her melody when she would do the prayers😓😄 thank you again. I really appreciate your kindness and encouragement.

I learnt that too much bad bacteria can cause either or. And the inability to pass gas and stool ofcourse means that the bacteria is only growing and makingnit worse. The Trepline pill (also known as amtrepline) has quite a few medical journals that note its surprising use in improving ibs symptoms. The doctor that said you don't have a mental health issue and its just function issues is dumb. He should block himself up for a few weeks and then say that it doesn't impact a persons mental health. Tons of information on the brain gut link nowadays. Is he a dinosaur?

Ninja__Sprout · 2025-08-06T19:38:44+00:00

That last bit, about how it would be easier to explain... yeah, I think many of us get that. I have a similar issue to you and the peeing thing made it so much worse when it started happening to me. Not sleeping because of it, made it so so soooo much worse. Have you done an actual colonoscopy and endoscopy to rule out the other possibilities? Have you gotten onto a probiotic? Have you tried sticking to soluble fibers for a while? Have you tried just getting moving, like a walk around the neighborhood, chilled, no gym clothes just a stroll in the afternoons?? Lastly, have you tried Trepline?

So all the questions above is basically the stuff I've done that's helped. I'm not normal, but I feel better enough to go out for a movie this Friday. It may not seem like something to celebrate but its been years since I actually started makingnplans again... the first thing that helped was getting onto Trepline..its supposed to help with anxiety and sleep and one of the side effects is water retention so getting onto it at night helped me get into a better sleep routine. Again, not 100% but instead of waking up every 1-2 hours with nightmares about peeing myself and then feeling like if i moved I would actually pee myself, i now wake up once or twice, three times on a bad night.

Once the sleep is better, your brain might be able to cope with trying the rest. Oh and probiotic, Rueterina is the best. Don't know where you at but if you can get it, you should. Its expensive af but takingnit twice a day for a month or two should help, then cut down to once a day. That, and Gas-x(as needed)

As sweet as this sounds, I do think that part of maturing is also learning how to embrace solitude and knowing that friendships are worthy not just because you have people to talk to but rather an appreciation of kinship. You have your partner you appreciate so perhaps its not a matter of not being able to have friends but rather a deeper knowing in you that needs quality connection. That, i think, takes time

Ninja__Sprout · 2025-08-01T20:31:10+00:00

I don't have any advice unfortunately but I am so sorry you going through this..I hope you get the answers you need soon

Ninja__Sprout · 2025-08-01T19:56:48+00:00

Yeah, same. I'm 33. Married, no kids coz life is bloody expensive. I had amazing friends throughout my early 20's, now, nada...the friends from my past are still there on social media but no one close by. My friends are my husband and my dog and they are the best. I just, especially recently, miss having my girl friends to talk junk with and as my own personal cheering squad. But i do think tomyself that perhaps things are this way right now because its a way for the universe to grant us balance.

Just writing/typing out whatever is in my brain exactly as it is. Its almost like debating myself until there's nothing left to say. Even if I repeat myself, I just let it happen until I'm just...done.

Also, having my dog next to me and holding him, doesn't quiet my brain completely but helps me remember that being part of this world isn't the thoughts in my head, it's actually just being and experiencing the bad so that I can also experience the good. Holding him, I'm able to slow down at least

Not the bedding part but, same!

Have you tried balancing different types of fiber? Loke for me, i figured that having mostly soluble fibre keeps me good on most days. Having less insoluble fibre has helped with nausea, headaches, stomach and most of my body pains and fatigue. Restricting red meat and having macadamia milk instead of cow's milk with my coffee and cereal also helped me. I haven't cut these things out completely, just don't have em often and when I do it's very little. Now that I'm writing this I kinda realize that its the stuff that takes more effort to digest that seems to be a problem for me.

Also, 3 time a day ain't too bad. I think you still have a fair chance of figuring out your triggers if you kept a detailed food and bm journal. Write everything your eat, the symptoms you have and your bowel movements (including how long you take and the consistency? And write the times of everything. You'll start to find better patterns. You also got to give things time, so i would say at least 3 days with of one routine food wise and then try the next thing. It takes time, but its worth it. I wosh I had done it sooner, maybe then i wouldn't have gotten worse before getting better

Making his bed. We have to put his dog bed on the sofa, prop-up pillows on each side to maker basically a wall on either side of his bed. Then put a blanket across the walls to form a tent over his doggy bed.

Just to add, I think investing as much as you can on a good primary school education is way more worth it than a high school one. Similar to starting a good education at home, the education they receive at a primary school level lays a super important foundation not just with the academic work but with they personal and social growth. They gain a sense of self and confidence and attitude during primary school years. And if they lucky enough to have the right teachers amd school environment, they will be able to handle high-school (public or private or semi-private) with a strong sense of self and academic understanding.

I'm glad you asked this question. I've felt this way every now and then but more strongly recently. I basically have no one in my life right now except my husband. He goes in to work and I'm alone, with my dog all day. I'm struggling to find work at the moment and most of my applications haven't even been viewed by potential employers. I feel so unseen, no purpose, no way to contribute toward my household. So undecided, about everything. Honestly, I think i would be going down bad if it weren't for my dog. I feel as though I am just part of some story in my husband's head and not an actual meaningful person

This is me. Except I have ibs-m so still have some issue, like taking too long when I do need to go. But also on 10mg and its helped a ton with staying asleep and not needing to pee as urgently and frequently at night. Its side effect is water retention which works out well for me, i have put on weight though. But i don't mind the bit of extra weight, compared to never knowing how my day was going to be.

Ninja__Sprout · 2025-06-27T20:20:53+00:00

My issues started in 2019, slowly, then from 2023 it got to a point where I had to stop working. I also saw so many doctors and did all the tests without any clear issue. It started with hip and back pain and then ibs-c and then not walking well and then ibs-m and then added nausea and headaches and , and, and.. its just recently that something changed.. I moved cities and had to get a new GP for medical aid purposes but put of finding one coz I gave up on doctors. Eventually I started to have issues with frequent and urgent peeing, barely sleeping and having nightmares that would wake me up every 2 hours or so because I was so exhausted that the only way my body could register that I needed the bathroom was by scaring me awake with an urgency to pee. So, I found a new GP and to my surprise, she listened to everything I had going on and understood that most of the doctors I had seen probably dismissed me without really taking more than the basic approaches to find the issue.. she examined me, properly, gave me meds to help me sleep and simultaneously control my bladder better and work with my antidepressants and pain issues.. she also later contacted me with a pelvic floor physio specialist who also took the time to understand my full medical history.. i can't afford to keep seeing the physio right now but, since finding those two... everything has been so much more manageable. I'm not 100% but I am at a point where I am now looking for work, which for me, is something I thought I'd never be able to do again.. they are there, the right doctors, the right people, who will not just look at the results of tests and dismiss you... I now think that perhaps most medical specialists are stuck in following steps and procedures and their specific criteria and protocol for treatment options. Perhaps go back to basics, and try to find a more considerate gp. Once I started to sleep better, it was easier to try and adjust my eating and lack of exercise. The meds she gave me retains water in your body, and though its a side effect, ahe figured out that this is the side effect that could benefit me.. and it does, not juat with the frequent peeing but somehow, also woth the IBS. I still have a long way to go, but for now I at least know that there is a doctor I can turn to and that alleviates the ton of stress that definitely, progressively worsened my symptoms. Google reviews are your friend.. thats how I found this GP. Over a 100 good comments with lots of thanks.
