IBS Attack 8 months post sleeve

[Mommysonadiet 25]

I think I had my first IBS attack last night at 9PM after I drank a kids cup Lil Angel from smoothie King and had 1/2 scoop of greek frozen yogurt. I have had these items before and was fine... I thought my appendix was going to burst or my intestines were inflamed from having diarrhea for the last few days (TMI sorry)...I haven't felt pain like this since the week after my surgery! Thankfully 1 hour ago, almost 20 hours after the pain started, I am feeling well enough to get out of bed.

Has this happened to anyone else?

20 hours? why didnt you call your doc? or go tk urgent care? do you still have your gall bladder?

I still have my gall bladder. Is a gallbladder attack similar?

do you have IBS?

Yes...when I had my first gb attack 25 yrs ago it hit hard..bad diarrhea, major pain from middle of chest to my back bone! U need to have that chkd seriously.

unless you have been diagnosed with IBS i would assume that is gall bladder... but either way, if you are in pain for 20 hours, you better call your doctor right away!

its pretty easy to diagnose gall bladder... a blood test and an ultra sound will do the job.

Ditto what @@moonlitestarbrite said. Hope you get it checked out and begin to feel better soon.

Self-diagnosed IBS incident -- by someone who's never been diagnosed with IBS before.

Seriously?

Go see a doctor.

I have been diagnosed with IBS and the symptoms are consistent with it ( though it certainly could be something else). My symptoms are greatly improved since surgery and usually treatable with immodium tablets, but I've had a few bad times with it in the 8 mos. since the surgery.

yup, since gall bladder issues are a known risk of this surgery and IBS isnt.

and no one should be in horrible mystery pain for 20 hours without calling a doc or going to urgent care or an ER! it could be appendix too.. if that ruptures, you could die! get some medical attention!
