Watching this as i sit on the toilet having an ibsd flare. Very sad.

You HELP a lot people who suffer with ibs. God bless you!

30 years ago I had a stomach bug for about 10 days, after it went away it came back after 3 weeks, lasted another 10 days, then came back 3 or 4 more times during the rest of the year. Each time was less bad than the one before it. Now I think it was IBS following gastroenteritis which I had never heard of until recently.

No doctor has ever been able to figure out what is wrong with my insides... You described my stomach and bowel movements almost perfectly

Thank you for providing this perspective!

I've watched 50 videos like this one over the years. I'm glad that diagnostic understanding is increasing a lot, but they still don't have effective treatments. WHERE ARE THE TREATMENTS??? I don't want to see another $10 million put into lab tests, machines, etc... I want to see a treatment that actually works.

Thank you so much

First time seeing the pathophysiology of IBS being explained. It kinda sounds like ibs can manifest itself as a combination of sibo and leaky gut.

You explained my entire digestive track in 22 mins. I remember the day that my ibs started. I had a ranch chicken snack wrap from McDonald’s in 2011 and I ended up with food poisoning after eating there. I was sick for like 3 days with it. Right after that happened my stomach was never the same

I read by another specialist on here that you can have IBS without pain. I read that alot. And instead have just say, gas pain. So we are in limbo here. I think we are all different.

I've had issues since I was a baby. I had slow bowel and severe constipation up till 17. From then to the age of 21, I had mixed and from then to now at 24 I've mostly got diarrhoea which is scidic and makes me have severe naydes, vertigo, I'm cold most of the time, bloating, tiredness and pain. I'm under investigations for endometriosis as well as some other things. I've had hundreds of bloods, urine and poop samples and all come back normal. So does my CT scans and CS scans. I've tried every diet: some helps with the bloating but other than that it either makes me worse or stay the same. Same with the tablets and probiotics: stay the same or makes it worse. I'm in the UK. I'm having to look at going private as my doctors aren't considering further testing or expanding bloods (looking at bloods that aren't in the norm key points they look at ). 😭. The only thing I don't have is the drastic weight loss which is partly why my doctors won't look into it further xx

Exercise can also make it worse. It speeds up motility - as if it's not bad enough already. The gut-ache is also worse. The cholestyramine just turned stools orange. I wish it would have worked. Psych meds are playing with fire with the brain and the side effects. Probiotics made mine worse. They took extra precautions to make sure loperamide was safe before making it available by prescription and then OTC. Now you need a script for taking it on a daily basis because some idiots think you can get high on it. A few people died over a period of the 40 years that it was available OTC. And now they're penalizing people with IBS, making it difficult for us to get - making it difficult to get it even from a doctor who knows you've had this for a very long time. It's insane.

The only thing that has substantially helped me is Xifaxan (which is an antibiotic). Unfortunately, in the US it is ludicrously expensive.

Me too since 6 am and it's like acid water, and I've been staying on the IBS-d diet.

Wow! In the past 30 years I have had 3 different docs in 3 different cities in 2 different states diagnose me with IBS and I have been living in my own private hell for going on 31 years and now this guy is telling me that I DO NOT have IBS!!!!! I would love to meet with him and see what he thinks I have. I have every symptom of IBS EXCEPT the pain ... I do not and have not had any pain. I guess I should be thankful of that but even that doesn't help when one messes in one's pants in public ... like at Disney World 😒

What does, "peticuly" mean at 11:04 and again at 11:08?

What if I vomit and lose weight when I have flare-ups? Should I change doctor?

I found his statement that a colonoscopy is not to reassure people with suspect IBS very contestible. IMO that is exactly what it does. A colonoscopy in most caes will tell you what you dont have, not give you a diagnosis of what you do have. After a colonoscopy you may be told for example "well, no chron's disease, no inflammation, no tumours." That can be very reassuring!

most fda approved drugs only offer a 10% theraputic gain? this isnt substantial enough?

My bowels were running helter skelter after a brief illness and i did try many medicines but all flopped miserably. I was perplexed and didn't know what to do? Miracles happen when you are in dire straits and I contacted Planet Ayurveda and got some diet tips that were sincerely followed and IBS Care Pack that took care of my IBS in an excellent way. Now I can digest the heavy foods too, thanks!

It’s good you think it’s not an anxiety problem… hope they find something for this ugly and disabling disease… nowadays IBS is a Waste Basket Diagnosis If they cannot find anything you are labeled as IBS ..No hope nothing done

Speaker is wrong. He says you dont need to many, if any tests? You need to do LOTS of tests. You need to rule out parasites, bile acid malabsorption, candida overgrowth, drug use, etc etc.

I have this and I thought it was due to having my gallbladder removed. Anyone else?

This subservience to the Rome deifnitions should be questioned. For example in my earlyy days of IBS (first 25 years-have had it for most of my lfie) I frequently had abdominal pain, about three times a week. This has gone down the last five or six years to about one attack of colic every ten days . My IBS-D is otherwise still bad. If my abdominal pain altogether stops at some stage, but every thing remains the same, that could hardly mean that I no longer have IBS, yet according to the Rome definitions that is exactly what it means. That has to be wrong! Yet doctors STILL have total trust ib theoretical definitions handed down to them by a handful of experts. It really is time that doctors became a little more ready to challenge and question.

WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A 22 MINUTE VIDEO EXPLAINING HOW FUCKED WE ARE WHEN YOU COULD HAVE DONE IT IN 15 SECONDS? NOW IM -22 MINUTES OF MY LIFE AND STILL FUCKED

There's no hope!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These doctors have these lectures and these seminars and they have their steaks and lobsters and wine and whiskey and they go home to their multimillion dollar homes and yet still their patients suffer from the IBS and from the medication side effects here's the bottom line folks there's no cure there's no treatment you just have to deal with it change your lifestyle eat well and hope for the best

Funny that he can't say "particularly"
