Severe Irritable Bowel and using a glass toy? warning "graphic,gross"

Well what is the cause of your IBS. I mean there are different reasons why people develop IBS including food allergies, diet, and certain illnesses. Have you gone to a doctor for it? And are we talking about clinical diagnosed IBS or self diagnosed? By what you describe it sounds like you are having food allergies and maybe need to work on your diet.

yes been diagnosed by a doctor been there lots of times...no allergies. No the

yes I'm going to work on my diet starting now I'm so sensitive to foods. Its not allergies but the ibs symptoms cause me to have to eat low fat diary free(I'm not even lactose intolerant) I'm on this site link

but I'm not on here to argue with anyone just FYI and don't want to discuss more about my ibs Its not something I like to talk about much and I have the helpforibs books they are great.I'm getting on the diet I came on here to ask about the toy and if there was any info on the pleasure any healthy book about ibs

yes I suppose it sounds similar to allergies but its your symptoms and over reaction to digestive stimulant foods I ca n't have pop or caffeine give me cramps or problems w hen before I had IBS I never had a problem with any food never any allergies.

ok enough of that lets get to what I asked about

I have a friend that has really really bad IBS. I don't really know if using a glass toy to put up there will work though. I guess I think it would probably shove everything up instead of out. I don't know if it would cause more problems then help.

thanks for your help..I think I'll stick to vaginal but I bought the anal health book perhaps something useful is in there.

im not consipated I spend many trips in the bathroom going a little here and there everyday..If I get insoluble fiber which is in fruits and vegtables It will make my gut hurt and feel awful probly get a headache and not sleep because of all the discomfort and I will get the shits. I'm more on the D side but I'm not actual diareah..its called psuedo dirrahea when you have many bms a day..and I can't say I have many its just not a complete one incomplete evacuation is a big part of my symtoms..right now my gut is burning and everything turned to mush which means no formed bm's for a few days and hardly going if there isn't some form or firmness to it It actually makes it so I don't go. there is a pain in my side ever since I took pepcid ac..I noticed a pattern everytime I take it my gut is messed up for a week and I get severe urgency feelings.

I can't have dairy of any kind it really messes up mysystem makes my gut churn and burn and messes up my bm's even more. I'm a sever case of ibs and must heavily modify my diet. no red meat,no caffeine,no alcholo no dairy,low fat...low insoluble fiber any fruits and vegtables cooked to a mush or blended very very well,well I blend strawberries after I cut the seeds off because ther is so much fiber in the seeds and causes spasms and more problems for me.

I did try the activia it was a disaster..also tried probiotics did nothing for me. I'm really sensitive to medication actually makes me worse I won't take pepcid ac or cold medicine or anything ever again unless its life or death or I'm really ill or somethin. being sensitive to medication is common in ibs

Before having ibs I never had a problem with anything.

no need to talk with my doctor I think a toy can work maybe a small plug or putting a toy in a little way maybe it will open things up a little more for me to push things out better? I will be very slow and careful. maybe put in a skinny one a ways then push down a little take it out and just see what happens...

oh yes I orderd the anal health and pleasure book maybe something in ther can help..btw I have a couple support tickets open since yesterday and one today...is someone going to take a look soon?

what kind of lube did u use? perhaps something in it irrated u? what toy did u use? would u mind saying?

have you heard of helpforibs.com? I bought the books I love that site. I'm going to get right on working on my diet until I get better It could take a long time for me because of the severity over the years.

hi.. i used wet silicone lube one day and the next day i used water based lube. The toy i used was a silicone toy with like balls on the shaft.. I also used the nubby g wand.. maybe the nubs were a bit too much? I didnt feel any pain at the time, far from it

I didn't find it can u send a link to it?

I'm not sure what the silicone toy is because I got it from a store about 12 years ago. If you look at my profile you will see the review I wrote for the Nubby G Wand. I haven't yet figured out how to post links on here.

Let me know if this link works.

I wonder if you just have weak rectal muscles and it's cause you to not be able to hold anything in? I mean just a thought but it sounds like it could be something different then IBS. And a lot of doctor slap a label on something if your symptoms are sorta in the same ballpark. It just sounds odd that no medication is working for you and that you have to go a little at a time. This also may sound really weird but have you ever had a stool sample analyzed by a doctor. Parasites cause IBS and are unaffected by the standard medications prescribed for IBS. It's worth a shot to better understand what going on. Parasites cause bloating, stomach cramps, poor digestion, and feeling like you have to go all the time. I know it's a freaky thought but anything to help you figure out what is going on.

I had tests done like blood work x rays a scope or enama thing where they take a look up there..I did try the prescription amitiza and my ibs was diffrent back then I was constipated and yes it help sometiems but other times I almost had an accident. It's actually very common for people with ibs to find that prescriptions upset. Many people I have talked to said they can't take a prescription or any other the counter medication because it just upsets them. It doesn't matter if its a sleeping pil,a cold medicine or an ibs prescription it all upsets me. its not uncomond for people with severe ibs. I did have other tests done and tried other things just can't remmber wat. I have no insurance and plus I absolutly hate prescriptions and will not take them

all I know I best get back on track and modify my diet and figure it out and see hwo far it takes me I'm sure in a few monthes I'll be doing better than I am now

I can relate to the no insurance thing it sucks royally. It's called a colonoscopy where they take a look up there. They are looking for signs of colitis and deformations usually when it comes to IBS. One question, have you ever been tested for anemia? Diet will probably be the most helpful, it's hard with no insurance.

I go everyday I just can't sit down say 1-3 times and be done for the day i'm in ther like 10 times a little here and there coming probly because of all the spasms andd bloating its not one long bm.fruits and vegtables tear my gut up and give me watery stool. I have to eat them really carefully like cooked to a mush in small quantities with lots of soluble fiber....

Well, if you're asking if something will help your severe IBS then I think that asking a doctor would be beneficial. If you already have so many issues with trying to get stuff out I'd be worried about pushing things up further and causing a back up.

One thing to remember is that some things that might be good for anal health might not be good for anal health for someone who has IBS issues. Since you're dealing with digestive issues with the IBS I think it could be entirely different. Of course, you don't have to take anyone's advice on here, but I just can say that for myself I would not feel comfortable without talking to my dr first if I was in this situation.

no everybody's ibs is diffrent and I think they need to figure it out for themselves. I hate prescriptions and I'm so sensitive to any medication I'm going the natural way doing a elimination diet and modifying it and see what works and wat doesn't. well I still plan on taking a look in the anal health book maybe there is an excercise that can help someone mentioned exercises in the book. It has some anal health in it something could be of use to me.

I'm going to stick to vaginal use of toys. IF I ever feel alot better and have better bm's then I'll try something very slowly.

I tried psyllium it causes me more problems severe gas and more bloating. I stick to benefiber powder and fibercon capsules.

I haven't been to this site, yet. My IBS is in some kind of "rest" unless I eat the wrong thing or don't take care of myself etc.

I'll have to check it out. I took a good many drugs for IBS, and the only one that helped at all was Bentyl, (it helped the pain more than anything) and, believe or not, some of the meds I take for my migraines. (Some of the same neurotransmitters involved in IBS are also part of the migraine spectrum.) I have to stay away from Imodium, because it sets me on a week long IBS extravaganza! Sometimes I take it if we're going to have anal sex, and I'm not 100% physically ready for it, but am mentally, but I also find if I take the one with the "anti-gas" ingredient (a form of silicone) it isn't as bad, if I only use a half a dose. I'm like a child with most drugs, I can only take small doses and tend to get side effects really easily, too.

I agree, psyllium makes me sick as a dog and I can't even leave the bathroom. My GI doctor (who I haven't had to see in years, now) said he takes ALL his IBS patients off dairy, shellfish and peanuts, just as a precaution and has seen a lot of improvement. I have found it may be weeks or months off of certain foods before I see improvement. Shellfish would literally kill me, as I have a full anaphylactic allergy, but the dairy is a "mild" allergy AND a severe lactose intolerance, but it took a full year of NO dairy before I noticed permanent improvement.

Unfortunately, ANY food causes bloating in me. I wake up with a pretty flat belly, and anything other than water triggers the bloating. Maybe I'm "Food Intolerant." LOL!

Thank you PGel! clam is a shellfish right? I made an ibs safe recipe off that site called clam chowder I tried it twice to make sure..each time my ibs was REALLY severe after eating it. I know its not an alergy because before Ibs there was no food I had a problem with,that I know of. Do yo do good with shrimp? I buy a brand called pure and natural..Yea for some just the act of eating causes bloating...I can't wait to start on this diet and see if my bloating goes way down or even goes away I want to have a sexy flat tummy! psylum makes me sick and I cant eat things like pineaple or peaches or apricots it seems...for some reason carrots are a very safe food especially well cooked I heard from alot of ppl with ibs..but for some reason I think carrots just don't like me. I took amitiza seemed to help some but didn't like I almost had an accident at work while I was on it..seems taking no meds only fiber supplements like benfiber powder and fibercon oh ya have u heard of acacia? u need to check it out on that site!
