Intestinal issues for a year 1/2?!
Question: Intestinal issues for a year 1/2.?
I've been to the doc, specialists, tests and more tests. blood work and colonoscopy show nothing and I've been told there is nothing wrong with me. Doc thinks it's just severe IBS, yet it's EVERY DAY. Even yogurt sends me running to the bathroom within 15-20min. understandably, I'm rather thin because nothing stays "in" me, but is flushed out rather quickly.
I thought it might be my gallbladder (both parents had problems) due to the specific pain, but I was told that since I don't eat fattening nor spicey foods, that can't be it. well I have that specific-located pain quite a bit! even if I haven't eaten anything in a few hours!
I don't eat much of anything, really, because I rarely get hungry. but when I do eat--ANYTHING--and I mean anything (yogurt, toast, etc) my intestines "flush" themselves usually within 30min.
I've tried the acidopholis, the fiber supplements, the flaxseed, colon cleansers, charcoal, ProBiotics, and a handful of other stuff.
NOTHING is working.

Answers:
You're doing the right thing by seeking out medical answers. However, 'just severe IBS' is not a little thing!! Daily, chronic ibs is a horror to live with.
The only thing that I know of that can really make a difference is aloe vera. It's inexpensive in a juice form and takes some getting used to (taste) but take 3-5 tablespoons throughout the day. It's very soothing to the digestive system and may help. The quality of the juice you buy can make a big difference, too, so if the first brand you try doesn't give you relief in a few weeks, look for a different brand.
My mother had severe ibs for over 30 years (yes, every day and no matter what she ate!) She went on a regimen of quality aloe based products and her system totally healed in about 3 months. It has now been nearly 3 years and she's had no recurrence. She used a line of stabilized aloe products from Mannatech. They're a bit pricey, but she had excellent results on several issues, not just ibs.
Another company that makes products with stabilized aloe is Carrington Labs. Don't know that they have anything specifically for intestinal issues, but you might go to their site and check it out.
Hope this helps.Health Question & Answer
