Have you tried taking something at that point Taz ?

The herbal stuff works within about ten mins. If it's a bad bout then it does not stop it completely but does limit things a lot.
It can make the difference between getting up an hour earlier than you need to in the morning and also horrible episodes in restaurants. I take them at the table as soon as my meal is finished.

If the body wants to out something then it should be allowed to do so.  As awful as it is.  Katsclaws, I think the symptoms described is a shock reaction …………. until the body stabilises itself?

I was like that with panic attacks.  Shivering, hot and cold, shaking ……… kind of shock reaction    …… and if the body ejects stuff fast, the same happens.  Awful ……..

I think you are probably right CLKD about the body being allowed to do whatever it needs to do but it doesn't fit in with working and travelling and I can't afford to retire yet so it's all a bit worrying.

So does not taking something head off potential episodes.

I have IBS but apart from getting hot and sweaty I have never had the kind of attacks some of you describe.

Just wondering how much notice you get and perhaps treating it before it gets to its worse is possible.

The body can be headed off before things get bad possibly.

Like taking pain relief for a headache before nausea sets in ……… 

I had onions yesterday, I knew they were in the pizza and picked out as many as I could: it was a spicy pizza so I've known about it today  although fortunately, it didn't make me feel ill but it was necessary to get to the bathroom pronto

I get a little warning before an episode so take something that can help.


I suspect what has been described it completely different though.

Which is why it's difficult to treat it initially ………..

I get around five minutes warning - starts with a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen - no pain. I didn't used to get these sort of attacks. I had the early-morning-rush type IBS and after that things settled down for the day but this is different. This explains the causes maybe http://solvingtheibspuzzle.com/lower-abdominal-pain-and-fatigue.html
