What Is I.b.s?
Posted: 05-08-05 06:55am

My friend thinks I have i.B.S because my tummy always makes noises. When I sleep at her house I sleep in the spare room next to her room and she can hear my stomach from the other room, my stomach growls so loud that when im in class people from all the way over the room can hear it. It is so embarrassing.

I doubt what you have is ibs, the problem you're having seems to be gastrointestinal.

In either case, ibs is irritable bowel syndrome, this website may help you with information... (or do a search on google): http://www.Ibstales.Com/

Ibs

Ibs should be diagnosed with visual and biopsy methods, not just symptomologic reports...And it usually includes either bouts of constipation or diarrhea, which you did not mention

you appear to have overactive peristalsis...If I were you i'd simply try a 1/6th dose of loperamide (sold over the counter) and see if it calmed things down, especially when you were about to face quietude and stress! It's got anticholinergic activities and will slow this autonomic activity in the gastrointestinal tract...
One of my medical finals was four hours long, I hadn't eaten nor slept, and my stomach and intestines were like an orchestra! Eeyoweewoyowawawa and people were laughing, but oh well...Of all people they understood best
