How does IBS manifest itself to you? It seems everyone who has it has different symptoms and severity.
I get really really bad cramps and muscle spasms on my left side, colon side, almost daily. I haven't been having issues with my movements lately, but I also haven't been eating things like nuts and stuff. I really need to be careful with the nuts and seeds, they always tear me up. I can't really drink a lot of booze any more it absolutely destroys my gut for the next couple days. If I haven't crapped, I can't eat or if I have one passing to the colon, I can't eat. I get nausea from that as well, it kind of sucks tbh, but I just smoke weed and go about my day. Can't let a little gut pain make me into a complete sack of shit, thankfully I have a job I can work from home once or twice a week so allows me to toke up and relieve my pain when I need to, while still being able to get work done.
also, i've always kind of had GI issues though I had a severe chest infection a few years ago my doctor believes stressed my body and set it all off. I've had everything checked up, I'm healthy as hell just things make my bowels go crazy. literally felt like i was shitting glass shards this morning. i almost wanted to cry.
