I have IBS-CC and IBS-D How Can I stay regular? I m Lucky if I have just One, I changed my diet several times. I also have colitis, gastritis, internal hemorrholds, acid reflux disease or GERD, and a Hiatus a hernia on the curve of my stomach. I live on a fixed income my insurance refuses to pay for the Ibs medication so I do without. I take protonix for my acid reflux, does help some but not alot. I have had 4 colonostrophies found alot of things but every thing was ok. Colon cancer runs in my family.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

Your symptoms are nonspecific but suggestive of benign digestion disorder called IBS or irritable bowel syndrome. This is manifested with bloating or diarrheas with pain and abdominal discomfort.

As remedies you should: Look at your diet. If it contains a large amount of carbohydrates that are difficult to digest, try to replace them.

Carbohydrates that are easier to digest, such as potatoes, rice, and bananas, are good substitutes.

Also, try to eat around five to six small meals a day instead of three larger ones to help your digestive process.

Chew properly to avoid doing anything that may increase the amount of air that you swallow.

This includes making sure that you are chewing your food properly, and avoiding chewing gum or smoking.

Also, drink some peppermint tea, chamomile tea and ginger. In severe cases, colonoscopy should be done and some medications recommended.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
