I've been suffering for the past four months,and no matter what I eat or drink,I get get the cramping that lasts for about 20 seconds,then hear this very loud gurgling noise in my stomach. This happens around the clock! I have had the tests,except for endoscopy,but the blood,colonoscopy,upper GI/lower Bowel are all ok. I've seen three doctors and a GI specialist,who all say that there is no cure,but with the right food combinations of soluble Fiber, always first, followed by insoluble fiber. I've stopped the fatty foods,coffee,and beer,and carbonated drinks,lost 28 lbs during these four months,and still don't know how I'm ever going to conquer this cramping. I've taken Donnatal(barbiturate for cramping) Hydrocodein (Vicodin for pain) and even Zannox (for stress,and anxiety) helps a little bit. I got up at three-thirty this morning,and took a very hot shower/bath to help me relax enough to sleep. I hate this pain for anyone to go through with,and hope we can find something to tolerate it. As far as raw vegetables,and friuts,I think I read somewhere that taken the skins off and cooking the veggies help with digesting food better than eating raw. I hope any of this helps. For breakfast, Good Oatmeal (not instant) with applesauce on top. Later maybe a peeled apple,banana. Chicken broth,with white rice,(and bits of turkey) That's all I can stand right now. I used to drink lots of water,but that even taste terrible to me,so maybe flavor it with Pure cranberry juice. But you need to drink water.

IBS- Chronic cramping and stomach noises....
-
maybe you could look into natural remedies?, suprising they do actually work sometimes, i dont have any experience with your condition but it is a thought, see a doctor who specialises in it maybe

I have suffered with IBS for the last 4 years plus. I have tried probably every drug possible for this disorder. Only thing drug wish that even remotely helped was Levbid, two times a day.
Right now I took myself off my meds today (and lord am I feeling it) and starting a natural remedy called Threelac. If you want more info on it you can google Threelac or send me a PM.
I wish I had more info or a solution for you. I am keeping my fingers crossed that this product works. -
I'm 15 and i've had IBS for a few years now. I still havn't made it better but recently i've started taking Artichoke Tablets [natural remedy] which help to digest fat. It's improved it a lot but i still have a lot of problem with my IBS. I wish i could help but i'm in the same situation ):

Im not very familiar with IBS. I have a problem with loud stomach noises all the time. Could i have IBS?
-
Doubtful, if that's the only symptom you have.
-
A loud stomach noise is not an IBS symptom. IBS is painful cramping and spasms of the stomach and intestinal track. Also with IBS you can get serious bouts of Diarrhea and/or constipation.

well i have found that i cannot eat without gettin sick to my stomahc the past couple of weeks. I dont know if maybe it is a virus or a beginning to IBS. My thinking is it is just a virus seeing as my mother has had the same problem lately. And who knows with all the stuff goin around this winter

Anything is possible but could just but a little stomach virus. Give it time and if it doens't clear up, wouldn't hurt to consult your doctor just to be sure.
