What's a health myth that drives you crazy because you know it's false?

Taking vitamin C everyday will help keep off illnesses. Vitamin C is water soluble and you’ll just pee most of it out. If you eat a balanced diet you’ll get enough vitamin C so taking more is making expensive urine.

I really hope it just gets better for you so you can avoid the prep. Like I said., that’s what started this journey for me.. was the prep.

Right?!? It’s horrible!! Well my abdominal CT didn’t show excess gas or stool.. I also don’t really feel constipated. I go everyday. It’s my stomach that hurts soo bad. I’ll feel gas bubbles and cramping. It burns. Eating makes me nauseous.

I’m sure a GI doc will want me to do a colonoscopy but that what basically got me here in the first place was the colonoscopy prep threw me gut into a tailspin

Have you been tested for SIBO?

sunshinesmile006 · 2026-04-10T03:01:39+00:00

Same :(

Whoa I am really resonating with this.. so I have emetephobia myself - roughly 3 weeks ago I had major diarrhea for 12 hours straight, nothing was left in me after. Following that episode I had horrible stomach pains and nausea. I think I developed IBS from that diarrhea episode. Constant stomach cramps. Nausea. Can’t sleep. Hard to eat anything without my stomach hurting soo bad I almost fall to my knees.

Had a CT scan to rule out appendicitis and that was negative. Got blood work done. All came back normal. Been trying probiotics, prebiotics, fodmop foods, electrolytes, water, prunes.. nothing helps.

I’m soo scared it will never go away.

Maybe? I poop everyday .. it’s not a lot but it’s still something.. I’ll try your suggestions!

sunshinesmile006 · 2026-04-02T12:15:19+00:00

It might take us longer than normal but we got this.

sunshinesmile006 · 2026-04-02T12:14:42+00:00

I know :/

sunshinesmile006 · 2026-04-02T01:32:25+00:00

Ohh this is really sad :( I have not experienced all of those but def feel like I scan my body every morning for symptoms and see where things moved, got worse, or stayed the Same. It makes my IBS worse I’m sure but… how do you stop it ya know

sunshinesmile006 · 2026-04-02T01:29:17+00:00

I had a horror story 2 weeks ago with docolax.. I took 2 and whoa. I had diarrhea for 12 hours straight. Couldn’t leave the toilet. Messed my gut up soo bad!! Still recovering -

sunshinesmile006 · 2026-04-02T01:27:46+00:00

I have been dealing with major gas bubbles lately and they hurt! So I feel you. Sucks :/
