Hi, I need help. I think i'm IBS-A, The last couple of days I have had D after a week of C and I feel constantly feeling like vomitting, I have eaten nothing but rice and bananas and taking my SFS in made up juice,I have to see my Gastro Dr today so I took an Imodium cause the drive is 40 mins and my fear is to have an accident on the way.Can anyone help me? I live in Australia, there is not alot of help over here that I have found. Eliza
The D may be a reaction to the C - I've seen other people on the Boards post that if they stay C for an extended period it often resolves itself as D.
If you can tolerate it, hot peppermint tea may help with the D and if you're having cramping, try a heating pad to ease the pain. Eating just SF for a couple of days should help the D, but you do need to start adding back in IF to avoid swinging C again and starting the whole cycle over.
I'm not sure what you mean by "made up juice", but fruit juice is usually high in fructose which can be an IBS trigger. Try water or a herbal tea. I know it's summer there, so if it's too hot for a lot of hot drinks, try drinking your water and herbal tea at room temperature - ice cold can be a trigger, also.
One last thought. You'll probably get more attention for a post like this if you start a whole new thread. Most people don't read every post, so they may skip over a thread on "Laxatives" and never see your post about needing help for D.
I hope your GI was helpful and you feel better soon.
Take care.
