That’s wild. Eating does the opposite for me. It suppresses it for a few hours for me before the tidal wave begins. Problem is my IBS only allows for one meal a day around 10:30am because it takes me nearly 12 hours to digest that or at least feel like that. I’ll throw in one more discovery in this process. I’ve had constipation issues my whole life. Always told to get a colonoscopy. Nothing ever came back wrong. I started getting B12 shots at the beginning of my neuropathy symptoms and my constipation has improved significantly. I’m about 52 now and have seen docs for constipation for 30+ years. Not one ever mentioned B12 as a solution. But Linzess and all the other bullshit RXs they were all in. Hard not to be jaded

I also have IBS-C that was in remission until my covid came back a year later. I only eat around 5. When I put any food in me, the rumbling begins and with constipation, comes the pressure. I end up using a Fleet glycerin suppository. IBGuard helps calm the symptoms and it’s over the counter. I have lost 10 pounds and most doctors want to discuss my weight. I too, am not happy with the prescriptions recommended. Amitriptyline helps with nerve pain.

Just a quick chime to both of you. I now have a swollen (golf ball sized) saliva gland and tinnitus. Also vitamin B12 deficiency (take shots) and gastric issues (IBS/C and D). All since Covid. Read a few things on all of this being LC related. I will look and post for everyone. The amount of symptoms go on and on. I made a list of 35 and I never even mentioned the little ones. It’s truly devastating. Drs do not know what to do with all of it. Treat the symptoms, like they are doing for me (not all of them yet) and now I’m on 19 medications plus oxygen. My cardiologist wants me to be admitted to hospital, take me off everything, and start over. He sent me a list of 69 different medication interactions that moderate to severe. Dang!!
