What Precautions to Take with IBS D Diet?

Patient's Query

I am suffering from IBS D. What precautions I need to take care in my diet.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

Irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea can lead to symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and frequent loose stools. It's often triggered by stress, certain foods, or digestive issues. To help manage this condition, focus on a balanced diet rich in soluble fiber, such as oats and bananas, while avoiding high-fat and very spicy foods. Staying well-hydrated is also crucial. Additionally, consider smaller, more frequent meals. It's important to monitor your body's responses to different foods. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a gastroenterologist for personalized advice and support.

I'm having anal fissure and spasm and it's very painful and itchy

Female | 20

You tear the skin around your butt when you have an anal fissure. Passing a hard stool can do it or having the runs can too. This causes pain, itching, and spasms. To ease the discomfort, use creams or ointments. You should also try eating more fiber and drinking plenty of water so that your stool is soft.

Hi, I believe I am suffering from IBS for several years. No blood in stools,.no weight loss so don't think it's IBD. Would being tested for intolerance or sensitivity to certain foods help alleviate my symptoms. Thank you

Female | 56

Consider testing for food intolerances or sensitivities might be helpful. While IBS doesn't cause structural damage like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), it can still lead to uncomfortable gastrointestinal symptoms.

I wanted to ask why is there blood in my stool? I have had some blood in my poop before because of hemorrhoids, but I'm concerned now because this time it was more than just blood on the toilet paper, it was also on the toilet water and in the stool. When I did try to poop, it was hard and some part was sharp too, which is making me think that it was because of that, but I googled why and it made me overthink that I might have a serious problem.

Female | 15

Blood in stool can be caused by different causes like hemorrhoids, anal fissures, inflammatory bowel disease, infections, polyps. But, since there is also blood in the toilet water, so it will be prescient to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. They can do the physical examination, suggest tests, and give the required treatment.

i’m 16yo I’ve had the flu for 5 days now and my dr prescribed me with ibuprofen for my fever and headache but it caused me to develop an ulcer i got sudden stomach cramps like the type where you need to poo so i went to the bathroom my poo was red i did some research and i think it might be GI bleeding i’ve been to the bathroom 5 times since and every time there’s been blood every time i’m worried but my mom won’t take me to the hospital, she says we can go tomorrow

Female | 16

Red poop can be a symptom of bleeding in the digestive tract, which may be caused by the ulcer and ibuprofen. Stomach cramps and frequent visits to the bathroom are also the reasons for this. This requires immediate medical assistance for the diagnosis and treatment. It would be better if you refused to wait until tomorrow.

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek your guidance regarding some health concerns that I have been experiencing, which have significantly impacted my quality of life. For some time now, I have been dealing with a condition that has led to people around me closing their nose, sniffing, coughing and having runny nose when around me. My parent could not perceive this odour so does the doctors and GP when I went there. This situation has resulted in feelings of isolation and anxiety, making it difficult for me to navigate social interactions, particularly in my university environment. I have been diagnosed with psychosis and given medication and everything is still happening around me. I'm also experiencing severe bloating, gas, and digestive issues like diarrhea/constipation. I’ve read that these symptoms can be linked to gut imbalances like bacterial overgrowth, and I want to explore if that’s the case with me I have previously attempted to reach out for help, but I have faced dismissive attitudes regarding my concerns, which has left me feeling frustrated and unsupported. I suspect my symptoms may be linked to a condition such as trimethylaminuria (TMAU) or a gut-related issue like small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). However, I have yet to receive a clear diagnosis or effective management plan. Given my experiences and the impact they have had on my mental health and daily life, I would greatly appreciate your insight. I am particularly interested in any tests or referrals that may be appropriate for diagnosing my condition, as well as recommendations for managing the associated symptoms. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and any advice you may be able to provide.

The symptoms you mentioned might be associated with a condition such as trimethylaminuria (TMAU) or a gut issue known as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). TMAU refers to the main odor complications, while SIBO leads to bloating, gassy, and gut issues like diarrhea or constipation. It's imperative to obtain the actual diagnosis by carrying out tests such as breath tests or blood tests. The treatment may involve changing the diet, probiotics, antibiotics, or other medications that will help to control your symptoms.

I will be having gall bladder operation but because of high blood sugar my operation is being delayed...my general physician gave me insulin...thus my blood sugar level decreased however my sugar level again increased...so please can you recommend me a diet chart and other measures to be taken.

Male | 52

My advice would be to see a registered dietician, who could develop an individualized nutrition plan based on your needs and high blood sugar levels. Moreover, you should adhere to the doctor's directions about insulin dosage and timing as well as accurately measure your blood sugar level. In case of any doubts concerning your gall bladder surgery, consult a gastroenterologist

How long does a stab wound to the bowel takes to heal after surgery

Male | 31

A stab wound in the bowel is indeed a serious injury that will require surgery for a solution. After the surgery, the healing time can vary but it usually takes several weeks to a few months. Symptoms of this may involve intense pain, fever, and vomiting. Repairing the damaged bowel with surgery is the solution, in addition to proper wound care and medication to prevent infection, which is the main reason for the surgery. It's important to heed your doctor's orders to have a quick and easy recovery.

I have done fistula surgery before 1.5 month ago. Today when I apply a cream in my anus.i see there was a blood. And then i wipe with cotton 3-4 times.

Male | 27

Some bleeding is normal after a fistula surgery, and one can frequently observe it. The irritation caused by the cream could make the area bleed. It might be a little patch that is perfectly normal. Avoid using harsh cream or disinfectants and keep the area clean. In case of continued or worsening of bleeding, it is better to contact your surgeon. Don't be scared, the after-effects of this kind of surgery are typically not serious.
