Irritable Bowel Syndrome Diagnosis

How i read the diagnosis and how i came to think that i am sure i have IBS-c.

http://www.ibsgroup.org/diagnosis

it states:

The diagnostic criteria of Irritable Bowel Syndrome always presumes the absence of a structural or biochemical explanation for the symptoms and is made only by your health care professional. Using the Rome II definition, Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be diagnosed based on at least 12 weeks, which need not be consecutive, in the preceding 12 months of abdominal discomfort or pain that has two out of three features: 

1. Relieved with defecation; and/or
2. Onset associated with a change in frequency of stool; and/or
3. Onset associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool.

Symptoms that Cumulatively Support the Diagnosis of IBS:

• Abnormal stool frequency (may be defined as greater than 3 bowel movements per day and less than 3 bowel movements per week);
• Abnormal stool form (lumpy/hard or loose/watery stool);
• Abnormal stool passage (straining, urgency, or feeling of incomplete evacuation);
• Passage of mucus;
• Bloating or feeling of abdominal distension.

Supportive Symptoms of IBS:

1. Fewer than three bowel movements a week
2. More than three bowel movements a day
3. Hard or lumpy stools
4. Loose (mushy) or watery stools
5. Straining during a bowel movement
6. Urgency (having to rush to have a bowel movement)
7. Feeling of incomplete bowel movement
8. Passing mucus (white material) during a bowel movement
9. Abdominal fullness, bloating, or swelling

Diarrhea-predominant: 1 or more of 2, 4, 6 and none of 1, 3, or 5; or: 2 or more of 2, 4, or 6 and one of 1 or 5. (3. Hard or lumpy stools do not qualify.)
Constipation-predominant: 1 or more of 1, 3, 5 and none of 2, 4, or 6;or: 2 or more of 1, 3, or 5 and one of 2, 4 or 6.

I don't go to Westside Drive-in any more

Reason is below in my blog. I think that business is condescending! They say one-thing and do another witch pisses me off!

Been having a lot of problems with Constipation

Been going on for a year now. I think i have IBS-c. From what i am reading and the more i read on the net it comes to me that i have this problem. Laxatives are the only way i can pass stool. And the problem gets worse when i eat dairy products. i.e. milk, cheese, cream. Usually in most people dairy causes cramps and diarrhea. Not me. It cause me to have gas, bloating, Cramps. I can't pass gas very well so it makes it hard to consume dairy. Which i love milk and ice cream.   More later

Hell's canyon trip 06/22/2012

Over all a great trip. I would give it a 9 out of a 10. Reason being for the 9 is i did not know there was a even better trip aval. The better trip was called Hell's canyon extreme tour. This tour was a longer trip up to the Snake river at Hell's canyon dam. With class 5 rapids. Now I know about it and will try to get on this extreme ride very soon. There are classified rapids. 1 to 5. This trip was a class 4. More later.

A Boogie Boat Extreme Hells Canyon Dam Trip is a "one of a kind" excursion only offered by Snake River Adventures.  This trip on the Boogie Boat is by far the most exciting way to experience Hells Canyon.
Follow the rivers to the confluence of the Clearwater River and Snake River to the Lewis Clark Valley, and come see what our two cities have to offer. Tours depart from Hells Gate State Park & Marina located right in Lewiston, ID.
