Scared 17yo
I am genuinely so scared right now. about a week ago, I had a bad oyster which caused me to have liquid diarea one time. thought I was fine. but then I started to feel constipated and took a glycerin suppository. somehow made me feel absolutely horrible with anal pressure. wasnt able to sleep at all the next night. my gas and bloating progressively got worse day after day and I havent been able to sleep at all for the past week. I went to the doctor yesterday and they did a blood test and CT scan and found nothing. they diagnosed me with IBS. i think this is the end of the world for me and I’m having so much trouble sleeping and tolerating the uncomfortableness caused from gas. is it really true? do I really have IBS at 17 years old? is it too early to tell?
The doctor prescribed me some laxatives and probiotics but none of it is helping.
my symptoms are horrible at night. i lie down, so much gas + uncomfortableness builds up, I burp it all out, lie back down, and repeat. I haven’t been able to sleep at all for the past 5 days and I’m suffering super badly. I also have a lack of appetite.
what can I do to at least stop this uncomfortableness sensation at night? it’s genuinely taking a toll on me and it’s only been 5 days. I feel like I’m already losing so much weight. I think I’m going to go insane. what do I even do????
