I had IBS for most of my adult life, so I fully understand your video. I found out have weeks of listing my food intake that onions were my main problem. So when cooking I now use onion granules. ( it is the actual onion I could not eat) it does make it difficult when eating out. Back in 2011 I was told I had Bowel Cancer which had spread to my liver. I was given palliative treatment. As you are reading this 12 years I am cancer free. So please keep checking. Don’t expect to see blood in your poo. I never did.

I had bowel cancer in my early 40’s had half of my bowel removed, find some foods very tricky like you especially onions I use the onion powder too.

Ive just started watching a parasite group on fb that says they cause illness including cancer. We used to self medicate with castor oil to rid us of parasites. Nowadays there is too much cancer around. Food for thought.

I have IBS and a undiagnosed urgency issue. This got so bad earlier this year I wouldn’t go out anymore. It would start with serve pain and I would have a very short time frame to get to the loo. And unfortunately I didn’t always make it. Mortifying. Thank you for talking about it

I went to see my GP a few weeks ago as my symptoms had become so bad, i couldn't go for a walk without needing my other half to collect me in the car, i literally couldn't move for fear of having an accident. I had tried all sorts and said I'm sure chemicals in food have a lot to do with it. He agreed and advised i do the low FODMAP for 6 weeks before adding food groups back into my diet to see what i can tolerate. 4 weeks in and so much better 😊. He also said write down any stresses and try to eliminate these. His final advice - make all meals from scratch, like our parents did

@Bombabingbong66 11 ай бұрын

I am very pleased that you are having an improvement of symptoms, it's debilitating to be always fearful of attacks. I don't want to suggest anything injurious but I hv started drinking Kéfir and taking probiotic plain yoghurt and having oats for breakfast. It seems to be improving my symptoms if that is any help. I wish you continued health.

@Myover50fashionlife 11 ай бұрын

My consultant suggested managing it with Immodoum before i eat. I also keep off anything that might give me an attack for 24 hours before i leave the house. It does mean managing life in a way others never think about.

As a long-term IBS-D sufferer thank you for your video. My son emigrated to Canada recently with my 2 grandchildren and if I wanted to see them all I had to face the 9-hour flight and 7-hour car journey to visit them. I take Loperamide (on prescription) to enable me to live as "normal" a life as possible and during my trip to Canada I took over 60 of these tablets so I could "safely" go on day trips with the grandkids and go for occasional meals, along with a poo pourri spray for the plane journey from Amazon. Coped for the visit, had to get my system back to just 2 tablets per day which took a while 😐 and am fed up with having to live my life around where the toilets are! ! I'm careful what I eat, bland food is best. Really grateful to you Helen, you are such a great help to your Hel's Belles. 😍

@margopaton3240 11 ай бұрын

That’s what I tend to eat, bland foods. I’m the same when I visit my son and Granddaughters. Strange how we have so many similarities but never talk about them.

@lindaroberts3142 11 ай бұрын

@@margopaton3240 Yes it certainly is, I've been in all the situations Helen spoke about and know I can't be the only one! IBS-D is the medical profession's blanket title for not really knowing what's wrong with us 🤨 I do socialise as much as I can, I'm 75 now and a coffee or lunch with family and friends is the norm for me (apart from the Canada trip!!!) but have to plan carefully with food the day before an outing and extra tablets on the day. That's how I cope with my symptoms.

@marisayoung8670 11 ай бұрын

Both my partner and I have been on a plant based diet for almost 20 years and neither have any issues with this. We are in our mid sixties. Think it’s good not to be putting extra work on our bodies processing meat, dairy etc. best wishes to Helen and others suffering from IBS. Cheers.

@Bombabingbong66 11 ай бұрын

Fellow sufferer here. I will not go to a restaurant or stay at anyones home, don t like travelling incase an attack comes on, out of nowhere. My symptoms range from Chronic constipation to lets just say a violent case of explosive évacuation 💥 and its so random, a gurgling cramp then literally hv to run to the loo! I have however started taking a lot more fibre and drinking Kefir and probiotic yoghurts and Magnésium. This seems to be improving the situation but its difficult knowing what the trigger is. The condition started in my mid 40s so its been 10 years and I never talk about it. Its great to read the comments and know that we are not alone. Thanks Helen.

You’re very brave Helen talking about your struggles it is a hard subject to talk about. Yes we do get embarrassed but EVERYONE does it, I don’t have IBS or any other stomach troubles but used to get extremely embarrassed going for a poo if I was on like a caravan holiday with family members (close quarters and all that!) I used to line the toilet water so the splash wasn’t so obvious or run the tap or shower. Thanks again for your openness xx

Thank you so much Helen for talking about the Poo Taboo. My brother was hospitalised only last week for 5 days with a flare up of his ulcerative colitis which was diagnosed nearly 30 yrs ago when he was 32. Unfortunately my daughter was also diagnosed with the same 4 years ago when just 24. She manages so well and takes medication everyday but as you can imagine I was so upset especially with her being so young but so proud of her down to earth acceptance of this disease. The more people like you with a platform that brings taboo subjects out in the open, hopefully will mean a lot less embarrassment in the future. Many Thanks as always, like having a chat with a friend ❤

Well done Helen, for your honesty and openness. Here's my story: As a regular meat eater, curiosity led me to go vegan for a 21 day experiment.. After 10 days on vegan diet, my horrific bowel issues of alternating constipation, diarrhoea and persistent haemorrhoids (even after surgery) vanished. I'm a nurse and was flabbergasted by the dramatic changes. Still a vegan 3 years later and wished I had changed 30 years ago and saved myself years of un-necessary suffering,💞

@archereaster611 7 ай бұрын

Amazingly I had exactly the opposite happen to me. I was vegetarian and vegan for 30 years and suffered from IBS all the time, in the last few years having severe pain at night too. On searching for a cure I stopped eating wheat with immediate benefit, then stopped eating all grains. I then gradually eliminated all other plant material, having found out that fibre is unnecessary. Not only did stomach issues go away but also arthritis, rheumatism, headaches etc. I suspect it wasn't the meat you were eating but other food stuffs with iffy ingredients and going vegan has helped by eliminating them but as time goes on you will find that you are just not getting enough nourishment from your diet. I recommend Dr. Ken Berry for a starter for health advice.
