Besides not drinking altogether is there anything which would minimise the effect of IBS?

Yes, I already have IBS, but I find that drinking alcohol excessively worsens it. I haven't tried to lessen it, but I would imagine that having food with your alcohol, and drinking lots of water would help...

First, stop worrying. Remember that your guts or intestine is like "other emotional organ". If you are worried or stressed it would only make worse the situation.\n2. Check out what you eat, always pay attention to your personal tolerance, everyday can be different.\n3. Some vegetables may worse the bloating: cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, celery. Beans cause bloating. Some fruitsmay cause problems: watermelon, cantaloupe (because they are high in fructose.)\n4. Your food must be cooked with little or nothing of fat, and prefer vegetable oils such olive or canole.\n5. Avoid spicy foods.\n6. Avoid sodas, because of the gas. Also avoid drinking with straws you would swallow air.\n7. Avoid sweeteners high in fructose.\n8. Also some fruits high in insoluble fiber may cause bloating, check out for apple, pear. \n9. You can have a health diet. Just avoid those foods when you already feel bad.

Yes, and depending on how long and how much you've\nbeen drinking, certain symptoms can go on for weeks or months.\n\nWorst of the shakes is over within a week. A mild tranquilizer can help. Also take some sweets and chocolate. Your blood sugar level is probably hypoglycemic, which is why exercise makes the shakes worse. I also suggest a high Vitamin B complex, Magnesium, and herbal Valerian, which you can get at a pharmacy or health food store. ''''\n\nSweating and insomnia are also part of the withdrawal.\nDitto for upset stomach and poor appetite for food.

Please listen to me on this - I can help you!!!!\nYou are probably wheat intolerant! Cut out wheat in all its forms for a minimum of a month, thats bread, pasta, pastry, cake - everything. its difficult, really difficult but if you stick to it you will see a major improvement. Im not some quack but recently discovered that I was intolerant to wheat and after a week of cutting it out completly my life had changed.Now 4 months later its completly different. My IBS symptoms disappeared, I lost a stone and a half, my mild ecxema disappeared - I have suffered from hay fever all of my life - gone totaly! Im sleeping better and even stopped snoring.\nI probably sound a little evangelical about it but the effect on my life and health have been profound. Its really difficult at times - when you want to grab a sandwich you cant and lots of my favourite foods are on the "dont even go there" list but the benefits outweigh the bad stuff.\nTry it it WILL work

hiccups: drink water from a straw or through a paper towel over your glass.\n\nbackpain:  heat and stretch.  take some advil for pain and inflammation\n\ndry coughs: lots and lots of liquid and cough medicine.\n\ngetting up in the middle of the night:  don't sleep too much during the day.  don't drink liquids within 2 hours of bed.  go to the restroom right before getting into bed.\n\nbad mood:  sunlight.  sun always makes us happier.  it's true.  also, avoid junk food.  junk food causes a real downer period after eating when your blood sugar drops off.  maintain a healthy diet and you'll experience less mood swings.  \n\ntension/stress:  keep organized.  this will provide less stress.  you may not know it, but if you keep your house messy it actually causes you to be more stressed.  clutter=stress.  Make time for yourself to just relax.  That could be a warm bath, shopping, etc...  Also, exercise!  It relieves stress and leaves you better able to cope with stressors throughout the day.

You could do what our teachers used to tell us to do and use break times to go to the toilet!! You certainly shouldn't be putting on weight through drinking less. Try drinking cranberry juice as you can drink less of it and it would help if you suffer from infections and the toilet visits would be less frequent. By the way what university did you get your qualifications from?

Make sure to always eat breakfast.  I think instant oatmeal or yogurt is best.  Take a Ginseng and Fish Oil Supplement.  Do some breathing exercises before lunch.  Breathe in through you nose and out through your mouth, but very deep.  You should feel it all the way in your stomach.

IBS can be very uncomfortable but can be controlled with a few easy food choices.. I would suggest that you eat 5 to 6 small meals per day.. add fiber to your diet.. and stay away from trigger foods.. ie: spicy food and acid type foods.. there are a few good medications on the market today to help slow your digestive track and calm the syptoms.. See your doctor for further treatments if you can not control with food modifications.. I also suggest that you try eating foods like Carrots and salads.. more fruit and drink plenty of water.  Do not fall for the many rip off adds on the market.. Get your information from a qualified doctor... You can also go to www.webmd.com for other helpful information.. Hope this helps :)

Drink a huge glass of water 20 minutes before your meal.  Make your plate last 20 minutes.  Do not eat snacks.  Drink coffee, it is a natural appitite suppressant.  NO Sugar or cream ,though

Hi,\nYahoo health can get you to the link for IBS info.  The one I found info best was  aboutibs.org.  I usually don't like to recommend a specific product, but Dannon has a yogurt out called Activia that could be beneficial.  I have had IBS and attendent problems for quite a few years and the very best advice I can offer is educate yourself!  Don't ignore it and don't let it go.  If possible go to an Enterologist and enlist their aid.  Find one who will listen to you and will work with you to discover the needed treatment\n     Look to your ancestors also, for this is can be an inherited tendency.  Hope it is as simple as a reaction to a round of antibiotics, or a food you need to avoid, but definitely you will have to be your own best friend here.  Hope this is helpful!

Lighter more transparent spirits will give you leave you the least hungover. Mixing them with sugary drinks like coca cola also helps (rather than just drinking them straight). The sugar in the mixer will help break down the alcohol and correct blood sugar levels.\n\nTaking a paracetamol before sleeping is NOT advised but it will make you feel less hungover.\n\nTwo things I find that are excellent at shifting hangovers are to eat a Banana and drink Lucozade!

IBS is here to stay - relief symptoms but no cure. May want to find out what aggrevates it and stay away from that food.

Actually, for me it's a lot more simple than anything like prescription pain medication.  All I do is go to my local Herb Store, there you will find these tablets that dissolve under your tongue.  There is one that will either be labeled PMS or Cramps.  They work wonders.  I've had Endometriosis for 6 years, and that's the ONLY thing that will help me other than Magnesium tablets.  They are supposed to be a natural muscle relaxer.  Just be careful, the magnesium will make the IBS symptoms that the endometriosis causes worse.  Hope you feel better!
