hi im vikash
im suffering from ibs since 7-8 years
for 4-5 yrs. i used to visit bathroom twice a day...as soon as i get up in the morning and after my breakfast.

but since da past 2 years....my condition worsened bcos apart from going twice ,i used to feel the need to go again da entire day,plus there is pain and discomfort in my lower abdomen and bubbles seem to be there too.

so last year i went to a gastroenterologist in delhi,india.
first he gave me a multi-vitamin tab.,a tab to eat before breakfast which stopped the bubble feeling in my lower abdomen,a trycyclic anti-depressant(only 10 mg-very small dose)which he said is not for any psychology ,,,but will ease my pain , a natural dietary supplement-CREMADIET and a vitamin b12 tab(bcos vit b12 was very low in my blood)

i took these meds for 4 months,initially for 1-2 months it helped me but then my condition became as usual and worsened by time..
i went again to da same doctor,nd gota colonoscopy done,which revealed a wound in that region ...because sumtimes i used the finger back there ....bcause i could feel it coming but i was unable to pass stool....so my nails left a wound there.....he continued da same medicines and gave me a suppository for my new found wound.

im taking the same medicines,but im also taking a laxative called LAXIL -2 teaspoons daily at bedtime which is vry helpful for me
now since last 6 months i use the bathroom thrice ,the 3rd time right after lunch....
i have realized dat lot of foods dont suit me so i avoid them.i have left eating meat ,milk and milk products because it doesnt suits me/

rest i eat very healthy food,minimum junk and oily foods.
but i drink alcohol daily because after that i done feel like going to da loo the 4th tym after dinner.
so i drink each night.and i have tobacco also.

now after having the same medicines in larger dose,my condition is back 2 where it was widout any improvement and da doctor just says to increase da dose again.
i constantly feel da urge to go to bathroom all day.....so i am unable to concentrate on my business and family.
half the time i have to stay at home ,i suffer weakness also..my business has suffered a great set back

its very unhelpful,if any of you suffer any kind of my symptoms,,,then pls contact me,,,,hope we can help each other...
pls help me
this problem has spoiled my relations and my business life also
