I seen something mentioned which has me curious.

Is there a difference in when you first get symptoms of IBS and when you've had it for a while? Are you more "sick" when you first get it or is it about the same throughout?...And please explain if you can. Thanks.

Hi Dimaki,

I think you will find that I am a very opinionated person when it comes to IBS. So whatever I say here is my opinion - and not hearsay.

My symptoms have changed throughout the course of IBS. I do not believe that anyone necessarily has to suffer the same from the onset to the end. A person can suffer more at the beginning or more later onwards. I suffered a lot at the onset of IBS, and because of my visualisation techniques I have managed to come to a 95% free of IBS situation. The same may not apply to others. Nevertheless, it is my opinion that short of using visualisation, my condition would have worsened as it did during the initial stages of my problem.

Still, others find other cures such as intestinal laxatives like Immodium. Others find that the use of calcium helps them out. But like every disorder, there is always the possibility that the problem can worsen. There are many people here who can attest to a small beginning for their IBS conditions and subsequently worse conditions. (for eg: I started with the occasional constipation and moved towards pain in the left side of the colon, to pain in the left chest and so on...). One of my friends who has experienced IBS said that it just went away on its own. Since IBS is such a huge blanket explanation for non-explainable intestinal problems, you will likely see stories that cover every nook and cranny for pain/discomfort combinations. The human body is such a complex amalgam of different things.

My personal belief is that the cause of IBS is MKULTRA radar hearing + some additional related technologies and while I may have found my way out, I doubt whether it will be as simple for many others. This of course excludes those other problems unrelated to this technology, that medical science has yet to find a cure for.

Cheers, Raju.

what is called IBS is undoubtedly a collection of different diseases that need teasing out. some people with IBS show signs of mild inflammation and others do not. some are sensitive to certain foods and others are not

Hey,
In my opinion, when you first get it, it is really bad, then it's gets better, that's how it happened for me anyway.

I have had IBS for over 25 years. It was very bad for the first few years, then I had what I guess could be called a "remission" for a few years. It then came back with a vengeance, and has been pretty bad since. It seems that IBS symptoms vary a great deal from person to person. For some people certain foods trigger the symptoms, for others stress and anxiety cause trtigger them. And still, for other it doesn't seem to matter... it's just there all the time. I hope this helped you some.

Take care
