Well im 11 and im in 6th grade yeah its tough:( Ive been to plenty of hospitals. The pain starts either early or very late. When im having pain I usally start panicing and run to the bathroom and that makes me very scared because I really can not deal with pain at all! .
I take fibercon and a blue pill for anxiety im not exactly sure what its called but my doctor is trying to wing me off of it so i can take immodioum. When im in pain at night or its late ill get in a nice HOT shower!. Baths dont go well for me. After i get out the shower i try to eaze my mind off the IBS . I go to my room sometimes ill bring a glass of water with me and take a benadrill ( This Usally makes you very sleepy).
Ill get on somthin very comfortable so I can move around real easily and lay on my stomach or my LEFT side and I will turn the fan on to know im getting cool air the radio on sometimes to take my mind off my Ibs and lay steel as possiable. My moms a nurse yes i got lucky (: She help me with my pain alot sometimes it doesnt work but u half to find a possion thats commfortable and if u cant get yourself in a possion that is commfortable then it will be a hard struggle. my doctor told me water or gatorade and I half to stay on a well diet. Ive been dealing with IBS for over a year. Ive had ovary sist and thats PAIN! the reason you do NOT lay on your right side is because your dijestive side is on your left and that will eaisly calm you to know that everything is moving in right derection. HOPE some of thesse tips work for you.
