Common Experiences? Suggestions?

[ReginaGlow]

Hi all, I'm new here. Reading the other posts is enlightening. I'm looking to see if anyone has the same issues I have, and if so, what you've done to cope with them, words of wisdom, suggestions - anything.

I couldn't tell you the last time I had a solid bowel movement. I am constantly getting body twisting pains in my lower abdomen just before I need to go to the bathroom, the worst part of it is that they come on so strong and so fast its terrifying when I am at the workplace or out socially. Seriously, having to excuse myself after breaking into a cold sweat and feeling like I'm going to explode is horrible. Recently I was on a flight, and one of these episodes hit me so hard I was totally paralyzed. I didn't know what to do. It took about 20 minutes for it to subside, but I found myself moving back and forth like a praying monk wishing it would go away. A plane crash at that point would have been sufficient. Did I get up and walk to the bathroom? Heck no! Had I stood up, I would have gone right then and there! I had a window seat too and the bathroom was 12 rows back. No way.

It's starting to hinder my social life and I am finding myself constantly opting-in for staying close to home or at home when invited to hang out by my friends.

I also get these same sharp pains immediately after eating a fat juicy steak. I'm a meat eater and I don't know why its taken me so long to realize that meat has me writing letters to the president ALL THE TIME. Really ugly letters. I never paid attention to what I was consuming. Little by little I'm starting to memorize what trigger these sharp pains but its so difficult. All my life I just ate, now I have to monitor my daily menu? It's too hard.

Does anyone else suffer like this? Any suggestions on what I can do? What have you done? Seriously, it's to the point where it's consuming my life and all my activities that surround it.

Thanks,
RG

hey!
i dont have alot of the symptoms you do - but i have digestive disorders and trust me - its not a walk in the :\ however you got this- WILL take time to go away. your not going to find a majic pill and i had to learn that myself-
first of all - are you even taking serovera?? if not GET ON IT. i have been taking it for 3 months. its my miracle. i have had gastritis for 2 yrs and i can eat all the food i almost want to again!!
but you have to be dedicated to the dosage and DIET. live to eat DONT EAT TO LIVE, always remember that, think of your food as enegery and fuel to get you through your day &life. \
from what it sounds like you obviously have some digestive problem and diharhea can dehydrate you!!! so drink up! drink drink drink tons of water, 1\2 your body weight in ounces every day.
dont give up .

Thanks Ihopp426,

I'm going to do just what you said and drink plenty of water. Truth is I'd rather go to the bathroom to do #1 100 times a day than to have to go #2 with panic attacks and cold sweats. I spoke with my mom and she says I probably have ibs and that I should go see a gastroenterologist. I plan on it and hopefully will find some direction. I have not had serovera, I didn't even know this forum had products! Gonna go look now.

Thanks,
RG

I was told that certain foods could aggravate your condition if you have IBS. The foods are caffeine, greasy and spicy foods. Hope this helps!

I found another site regarding amp and they claim that their the original and are better. This site is called AMP Floracel. Which is better? Does anyone know?

Regarding managing symptoms of digestive issues which product do the members use? The Soy Lecithin or the L-Glutethimine. I have never used this product.

Thank you.
