Vomiting and irritable bowel syndrome
Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting and irritable bowel syndrome
vomiting
I had *awful* irritable bowel syndrome throughout chemo. Luckily (?), when I also had it during radiation, a nutritionist met with me. She recommended a supplement called "Acidopholis." It's the bacteria in the intestines which we all need to digest food, but chemo and radiation kill it. I used it faithfully and saw a radical improvement in my IBS. No more constipation/diarrhea. Wish I'd been told about it during chemo! (I take one called Multidopholis Plus.
But for many years I had suffered from gastro problems which i and to some degree also the docs thought it all comes from the HCV infection, now I see that these problems still remain so i went onto a doc who is speciallist in this area and he told me that eventhough it is not exactlly IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) I should treat it as it is IBS.
Also I would like to add that I have had my GB removed about 8 years ago because of GB stones.
For last two years I have been suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. I can’t digest any rich food. Every week for two or three days I suffer by irritable bowel. That time I am having high temperature around 100 °F.I toke Mebeverine HCI tablet for two month. But no result. I am also having acidity problem. What I will do. Please help….

Hello,
What you are suffering from could be post cholescystectomy syndrome. In this, there’s persistent pain and associated nausea/vomiting. This occurs primarily due to either the adhesions which are formed in the area of the surgery or due to the dysfunction of the sphincter of oddi. Since the reservoir of the bile i.e. gall bladder has been surgically removed, it results in a continuous flow of the bile into the intestine resulting in gastritis & esophagitis.
In my opinion,your symptoms are related to irritable bowel syndrome as all your investigations are normal. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized by mild to severe abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alteration of bowel habits. In some cases, the symptoms are relieved by bowel movements.Diarrhea or constipation may predominate, or they may alternate (classified as IBS-D, IBS-C or IBS-A, respectively).

It is characterized by mild to severe abdominal pain, discomfort, bloating and alteration of bowel habits like alternate constipation and loose stools.

t the first time a study has found that drug-free psychological therapies can be effective in treating irritable bowel syndrome. Over the years, both psychological and medical journals have published research pointing in the same direction.
The headline from this could have easily been "Study Confirms Drug-Free Therapy Effective for IBS," or "Drugs No More Effective Than Psychological Therapy.
