Do any of yall ever feel like your gut is just loaded with water, like i will push around on my gut with my hand and hear water just rolling around and usually when I have this problem it means that I have diahreah comming. This happened today and I havent eaten today but im wondering if that Pizza Hut I ate last night was the problem or the fact that i havent had any fiber all weekend any thoughts? One more thing I should ad, If I am having diahreah should I take pepto bismal or something to get rid of it or is it better that I just ride it out if i can?

I have problems with IBS (irritable bowl syndrome). I have found that there are a list of things I can't eat. I would suggest keeping a log of the food items that cause your symptoms and attempting to avoid them.

If you have had these problems ongoing I would suggest you get in touch with your Dr, there are medications they can give you to relieve your discomforts.

I never tried using pepto when I had my bouts. I always let it run it's course.

A person needs fiber for their intestines to work right --- 25 to 35 grams daily~~
