I have been part of this group for a while and last year "had" been my best year with my IBS, despite losing my dad to cancer and having to deal with watching my mom go through Alzheimer's - I have been doing great! Then this year 2011 came and I have been sick more this year then all of last year combined and I don't know why. No new meds, eating has not changed, stress is always the same (no worse, not better) - I just cannot understand why this is happening all of a sudden and with such vengence.
Does anyone have any suggestions. My biggest (and always has been) is the flippin spastic colon cramping, which feels like labor pains. I had an episode the other night that last 3 1/2 hours of constant labor pains before I finally went to the bathroom, after the initial bout I will go anywhere for 2-10 times always (D). I don't think I'd mind the D, it's the cramping. It's draining, nauseating, painful, annoying.
I cannot take this anymore and there are times when I'd rather not eat then experience one of these attacks. My GI doctors have done all they can do or offer. I'm like a big ? with them. Any help please.
Are there any new meds out for IBS cramping?
