Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Pathophysiology, Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment, Animation

I’ve literally been searching the internet for days now trying to figure out WTH is going on with me. Been battling this for about 2 years now. It first started out as lactose intolerance but along the line things got worse and I’m pretty convinced an extended period of stress, anxiety and trauma triggered this.

I don’t have anyone I can talk to about it, so it’s been pretty much me and my symptoms in the dark.

I’ve learnt to avoid certain foods that trigger it( dairy products majorly, spicy food, alcohol and a few others). Also eating late and in large quantities could spell danger.

It sucks to have to deal with this, it gets me really anxious and irritable, and when I get really stressed it does feel like depression.

It’s pretty annoying to think that your gut could have you anxious and depressed.

I basically deal with mine by avoiding lactose I think it’s the major trigger for me I can occasionally have spicy food in little portions but that’s about it.
As far as the anxiety and depression is concerned it comes in waves and I think the best way I handle is by ignoring(counter intuitive 😅).
Focus on the positive things you’ve got going on if you don’t have anything positive create one no matter how little( buy a console, take a walk, buy a shirt, maybe get a pet etc)

I hope this helps

its been months i dont know whats wrong with my intestines or stomach in general!!!
i just had diarrhea today in school . i have to use the restroom before my sixth period class or my stomach will make fart noises and i'll have pain in my solar plexus. I HATE THIS.

I'm pretty sure physical exercise has a positive effect as well, as it does to almost everything pathological.

Ibs is a vicious cycle...

pumunta lng ako dito para sa research ko

I can help everyone in free who is suffering from ibs diarrhoea

What about trauma and CPTSD?

...but why?

Am in so much pain 20mins after eating the pain escalates am even afraid of eating

I have pain while pooping. It burns

i have to wear diapers and my husband hates it! i can understand who wants to deal with poop in bed but i can't help it. i might go to miami to a special clinic that deals with ibs a doctor named dr .ma

Does anyone else feel like their energy is completely GONE from this? No matter how much sleep I get i feel like have ZERO energy. Always tired.

Gut brain axis

Makes perfect sense because even the axis of evil would be appalled by the war crimes that I commit every day on innocent toilets everywhere I go.

Every time I take a Shit, it's a hate crime: Racism against porcelain ponies.

Skunks are offended by the smell

The Geneva Convention is notified of my atrocities and heinous war crimes.

And, I get to play "Shit Roulette"

Will I walk out in 2 minutes, or will it take an hour+?

Will I hit the toilet with a 900 megaton nuclear warhead, or an Itty bitty rabbit pellet that I can hardly feel on its way out?

Will my nuclear Shit be over in 90 seconds or 90 minutes?

If it's one of the teeny tiny mouse droppings, will I be done fast, or will my girlfriend send a search party after 3 days?

And no matter what happens, every time I take any kind of shit, it is always the kind of shit where you just want to take a shower immediately afterwards.

And I'm constantly trying to find the little bastard who is holding a candle to my asshole because God DAMN it burns!

Very informative video in less than 5 mins. Thank you, this is helpful.

I face different textures of stool different color daily never ever have healthy stools and often go to toiled 4-6 times daily and 12-14 times on hard days. Often get piles whenever i eat non veg for two days in a line . It sucks . When I go to toilet sometime I only pass gas and very little feaces

I will Pray To Allah cure This Traumatic Disease Who Is Currently suffering from This..😔

I USE BIO FREEZE on my belly specifically on areas where I feel bloating to counter my symptoms completely


I have IBS-C Been suffering with this cancer since Covid

Once my symptoms are finally gone I am finally me again.

I don’t know if this will work for the other variants of this condition but it worked for me.

(KEEP IN MIND THIS IS NO CURE I ONLY USE IT DURING FLARE UPS CURRENTLY)

If this helps you your welcome if not I’m sorry I did everything I could

Worst pain any human can go through,it's unbearable when it happens
My weight has come to stand still due to this probably and my social life is Fucked up coz of this ,I have no friends and avoid people, scary part is I am 27 and live in India

It’s miserable

Some foods trigger mine. Had some last night so here I am round 3 on the toilet

I need to ask everyone if this is what it sounds like I have. So most of my whole life. I never ate much. I ate u til I was full. And I never even drank many sugary drinks. But when I eat. My stomach turns and bloats and aches. And then I have to go to the bathroom immediately. With extremely bad diarrhea. But then after I am hungry again. The only thing that doesn’t make me go through this is when I eat fruits and vegetables when I went hardcore diet mode when I was younger. But what do you people think I have? It’s depressing I put on so much weight. I have to be completely moving 8 hours a day and barely eat to lose weight. It’s just so frustrating

Vicous circle if pain & anxiety

Symptoms eased during menstrual periods
For others ibs worsens with menstrual symptoms

What a mystery😮

Ibs D sucks mostly, but man oh man that moment of explosive relief is something I'm grateful for. Running or jogging into public restroom only to explode the room with what can only be described as the noxious stench of hell's flames, that's a moment gastrointestinal normative people never experience, the pleasure is almost divine.

I was diagnosed with IBS years ago. I learned eating fast and not chewing a few times also irritates your bowel movements . Because your sending large amount of food for the bowl system to digest. Additionally, i cut back on snacks for only two days and don't go overboard. So if i have candy or chips I'll drink my 2.5 liter water bottle . Obviously you know your body. This works for me.

Also insomnia affects the gut big time

Do you guys have abdominal pain all the time?

I've been diagnosed with IBS since 7 years, probably when i was 13. I was really young, with a really weak immune system and had to stay at home awake every night. Back then no one understood why I was constantly absent, the next day i go I get snarky comments from everyone including the teacher that I'm voluntarily staying home and having "fun", i guess pain in my dictionary equals fun in theirs, nonetheless, it used to trigger me more and thus begins to cycle.

My mom only recently started to understand after she herself got a pooping problem, thankfully my family and friends began to see my pain and understand it as well. I'm thankful for them.

I don't know why i got this but over the years i noticed what triggers my body, spicy foods, foods that are new or those I haven't had in a long time trigger it. And mentally, any extreme emotion like stress, anxiety, sadness, and sometimes even happiness triggers mine. Physically, the harsh movements also trigger me, like motion sickness etc.

Over the years, I've gotten used to the pain, and I've begun living with IBS as a part of my life. Sometimes pooping is relieving sometimes it's extremely painful that I end up crying in the bathroom alone, silently so I don't concern others. It becomes intolerable when at the most important times, like when i travel somewhere, and I even had to miss 2 final exams because of it. I can feel how sensitive my guts are, and how gassy and bloated my stomach always is, adding up to my insecurity. Most of the time I'm tired mentally and physically, and periods are always accompanied by a wave of diarrhoea. Even though I accepted what I have and make jokes, it's still kind of hard to pace around somewhere to calm the extreme stomach ache.

I don't know whether it's because of having it for 7 years, but I became almost numb to the pain and extremity of my condition, I didn't realise until I saw myself through others' eyes. I know I've been ranting for the comment section where it's filled with people who go through the pain I go makes me feel not alone and comforted.

Stay stronger fellows, we can control our IBS and tame it. Let's live our best lives! <3

Used ayurvedic medicine best hai ❤

IBS I have this)

Amazing video about IBS

People still suffering from IBS, please mention your names. I will pray for you guys. Thank you.

I think I have IBS-D because everything I eat seems to go through me like crazy..

I am a teenage 17 yr old and have ibs 😢

Im suffering from this for about 15 years now. Most of the time, constipation.
Feels like hell, esp the pain on the head that is mentioned in this video.
That pain feels like a vertigo. That will lead to acid reflux. After the nauseous feeling that will lead to vomiting, since I was constipated, now the diarrhea begins.

All of the pain will be gone after I emptied my stomach via vomiting and diarrhea.

That cycle happens for 6-12 hours.

I think, my anxiety and depression might play the role for this, I've having this pain every months, since the time when I diagnosed with anxiety and depression.

I get the mucus side of things I don’t get pain but every few months I’ll have weeks of passing mucus before stools sometimes on it’s own. It ruins my life for them few weeks. Can’t trust a fart and you end up convinced it’s something sinister, I’ve had over 60 tests over the past few yrs including sigmoidoscopy and bloods, various shit tests and they haven’t found anything…. But me being me I still think they missed something 😢. Loves to everyone who suffers from this. It’s horrible not trusting your own body.

I am with you ibs people😂😂😂

After dealing with it for 15 years even tried suicides multiple times. and having multiple surgeries of piles, fissure and fistula due to ibs c constipation 😭😭😭😭. a psychiatrist cured mine with in 1.5 years of treatment. please take below mentioned medicine for any kind of ibs without thinking twice atleast for 1.5 years and you will be 100000% fine.
