Have you checked our video “Health Benefits of an Elimination Diet”? This sounds like it would be beneficial for you. If you don’t already, you should check into taking a digestive enzyme and a probiotic. Have you tried acupuncture? It can help on many levels including your pain. Keep practicing your stress-relieving techniques. Be well.

I have IBS and I am allergic to soy, lactose intolerant, mint allergic, and I can’t handle most foods. I am in constant pain and the vicodin I take only takes the edge off the pain. Checked for infections and don’t have any. I can’t eat most carb-filled foods and veggies and fruits are nearly impossible. Most foods with protein are too harsh on my stomach. I also practice stress-relieving techniques. Not sure what is left to do.

It would be important for you to look outside the box a bit. Ask your gastroenterologists to test you for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (its a breath test and easy to do.) Also, working with a nutritionist may be able to help you. Often IBS is due to food sensitivity issues.

I am 23 years old and can always remember having off and on digestive problems as a child, but in the last 2 years I have been suffering with constant severe bloating, pains and aches in my right lower abdomen and up into my ribcage.

I am so sorry to hear of your pain and discomfort. You should read Digestive Wellness, and the sections dedicated to flatulence and constipation, in relation to IBS.
For a simple suggestion to try: Activia yogurt, eat daily for two weeks. This has been shown to help some people with relieving flatulence due to constipation.

There are several …
There are several types of seratonin receptors. There have also been several types of SSRI’s developed to help with the IBS seratonin receptors, however the have not been proven effective for most people. Some people could benefit from the use of SSRI’s but the likelihood of this is not very high at this time. The best thing you can do is stabalize your gut. By healing your gut you can not only address the depression associated with IBS, you can feel better and may be able to feel more sociable.
