    Intestinal pain/gas after antibiotics

    My wife has been suffering with intestinal pain caused by gas for years. She has Juv. RA, and has been on some pretty heavy meds her whole life. We suspect that this has caused these issues. She has tried Gluten free, cutting out dairy and many, many, other things. One thing we seem to be noticing, is a negative affect after stopping a course of antibiotics. For example, she had major jaw surgeries X4 over the past few months. They had her automatically start a course of antibiotics after the surgeries....

I was curious on whether or not anyone else with IBS has sensativity to medications such as ADHD medicine of Adipex? I can’t take any medication that’s a stimulant because have to run to the bathroom more often than normal when I take these types of medications. Has anyone....

    Excruciating upper mid abdominal pain.

I’ve dealt with some pretty intense pain from a motorcycle accident I broke out over half my teeth, dislocated my jaw, ripped one of my thumbs almost completely off, broke a few bones, etc so I can deal with pain. I’ve talked to doctors and they say it’s gastritis or IBS or possibly even an ulcer. I don’t know. I should mention I am also on MAT (medicated....

    Long story about stomach/stool problems

    Hi all, About four months ago, I got extremely anxious (and still am to this day) and started experiencing gas, diarrhea, confiscation and stomach pain.

I went to my GP and they sent me to a gastroenterologist where they did an exam and found three internal hemorrhoids which they treated with rubber bands. Thankfully the bleeding stopped, but some days I still have constipation or diarrhea along with gas and slight stomach....
