| I have been dealing with IBS pain since I've gotten here, and I have no clue what to do. Back home if it got as bad as it has here, I would have gone to the doctor already. |

| ya she seems in a great deal of pain as well....misses work because of it and stuff. You'd think with all the medicinal remedies they have out here, there would be some potent relief for IBS sufferers |

| Tell her that I feel her pain and understand. The pain is so intense and gut wrenching that sometimes all I can do is double over and cry. I've tried several homeopathic remedies, and they haven't really helped. |

I have IBS, gluten intolerance, dairy allergy, and most likely undiagnosed Celiac Disease. You guys need to lay off the red pepper paste at minimum, and watch your food combinations at best: red pepper and alcohol can be lethal for sensitive guts.
Basically, I avoid Korean food and cook my own or eat at Western restaurants. It seems extreme and is regrettable, but whenever I stray back to Korean food, I get sick. If you are not sensitive to wheat, then you have more options, but definitely avoid "red" food, which is most of it. |

| No worries my friend. I know what that excruciating pain is like, and it is NO joke. Essentially, it is the entry point to a high probability of stomach or bowel cancer. Get off of that road! |

IBS is absolutely not linked to stomach or bowel cancer. Please check your facts before posting information like this.
I've had IBS for years. Will write a more detailed post when I am off work and have more time. |
