Irritable Bowel Syndrome: possible cure?

'); } One of my friends that is a MD told me recently that there's a cure for this damnation I'm bearing each day. Apparently, you take it for a few days, and thing start looking better. Do I need to tell how cool that sounded when I first heard it? If you read anything I wrote before, the answer is probably 'no'. However, since I'm such a thorough person, I'll tell it anyways: I was thrilled!


Let's stay on the safe side:

Irritable bowel syndrome: Possible cure!

Now, it's not my goal to advertise some miracle cure, since I'm full of those people. Once it comes to our market, I try it and verify it helped, I'll write about it. I doubt it's called the same in all countries, but I'll write the ingredients, how it works and how it's used - which should be enough for any doctor to prescribe something similar.

Another possible victory!

I managed to do something on my blog today, something that I was unable to do for quite some time. This is so cool that I want to publish it ASAP on one of my other blogs. This is not a technical blog, so no need to write technical details about things that I'm doing with CSS code and javascript, but let's keep it at I'm really happy with myself today.

There's even one more cool thing that happened today! I watched some really nice nature scenes. They brought so much pleasure to me. Afterwards, everything felt so relaxed and cool.

And all this happened in the end of a rather shitty day.
I think I should start thinking positively :).

How nervous stomach rewrites your life

'); } While having a nervous stomach isn't a funny thing, it was always funny for my friends how I learned to measure distances - by being longer or shorter than it takes me from the moment I feel the urge to go to toilet until the moment I can't take it any more :) :(

I called it sh*t-o-meter. (I live in Europe where metric system is being used).

During years I had issues with IBS, several practices developed inside my head, all of them being practically unconscious:

• when I move to some new place (town, street address etc.), I start looking for safe spots. These include acceptable toilets with enough privacy that can make me feel comfortable.
• automatic mapping of routes between safe spots, determining the quickest ones. In case I need them, right?!
• once first two points are covered, I relax a little bit and start widening the circle. 

Most of my walks are done alone. I'm not very opened for wide circles of friends, at least not for some casual walking around town and enjoying. That way, if I'm in trouble, I don't have to fight with burden of explaining why do I need to run, why am I quiet all of the sudden and so on. If you have a nervous stomach, you'll probably understand. I refused so many parties because I can't stand the thought of being inside toiled with a queue of people waiting outside. Most of people thought I'm an a*s. Who would have thought that IBS can form other people's opinion about me?

Another funny thing about my condition: in most cases, it disappears when I'm drunk. No matter how badly alcohol influences stomach and digestion, when I'm drunk there isn't anyone more relaxed than I am. I'm like a stoned panda. Even if something happens, it's so much easy to cope with... Maybe I should start heavy drinking and make a new blog, one that would start with 'My name is Jack and I'm an alcoholic.'

Do you have stomach problems? Butterflies in your stomach? Nervous stomach? If so, please write something about it as a comment and I'll be glad to publish it.
