Possible TMI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi All
Since I had my baby last year, i've had problems with my erm.... bowels!
I have always been quiet regular, a 1 - 3 times a day girl. However since having my daughter 14 months ago, every now and again I flare up and can go up to 6 times a day! Always in the morning, as soon as I get up. and lasts till about lunchtime.
Its sooooo annoying and I don't know what to do to help me stop getting these flare ups. I can be fine and normal for a couple of months, and then I eat something (so far has been cottage cheese, or ice cream or too much sugar) and I get what I call one of my attacks. These always happen in the evening after dinner, and I end up on the loo for an hour...until I've had a right clear out (TMI SORRY). Go to bed and then the next day wake up fine. Apart from my bowels are unhappy for a week or so.....
And then the pattern starts again
I went to the doctors, had all the blood tests done etc. All fine. They've suggested I don't eat dairy for a month and uptake my fibre. But I've done this for 4 days, and I feel really bad!!!!
Anyone have any advice as what I can do to calm everything down?
I had a very stressful pregnancy (gestational diabetes, on tablets for that, anaemia, so iron tablets for that and then a tough labour). Doctor thinks all this stress to my tummy has caused the ibs???
Thanks all
