Re: Duration of IBS flare up
I'm wondering if PMT brings mine on, the jury is still out on that because I haven't taken note really. But the last week or so I have had bloating, off & on, mostly after eating or even having a cup of tea. And cramps under the rib area. Oh & wind! And I am due on today (have the period pains)
Will see how the I.B.S is during next week
Re: Duration of IBS flare up
That is interesting. I have had major hormonal problems since having my 3rd child 2 years ago and my IBS episodes have been more frequent and have lasted longer too. I am due on too and feel rubbish today. The doctor has prescribed mycrogynon so I am hoping that this may help the ibs as well as the hormones!!
Re: Duration of IBS flare up
This flare up for me has been lasting about 6 months so far. My Dr said it can happen where you suddenly don't get flare ups but you just get IBS symptoms everyday and that seems to be what's happening with mine. My anxiety is bad all the time so I have IBS everyday, it's terrible and I can barely leave the house I'm in that much pain and feel so sick
Re: Duration of IBS flare up
It is so horrible isn't it?The stomach is so linked with the brain that the more you worry, the worse it becomes and then you worry more!!
I have pain every day, pretty much all the time although it changes in place and severity.

I was on those ones as a teen. Cant remember how I got on with them. Hopefully they will do the trick for you x
