    It seems everyone and their dog has IBS these days. I have the double whammy of IBD and IBS

    If it's something you can't manage, then probably need to see your GP.

    Meantime, keep a food diary so you can work out your triggers.

    I don't think that everyone has IBS these days, I think everyone gets diagnosed with "IBS" when they really have i-eat-garbage-all-the-time-itis (that's not directed at OP of course!)

    OP: Have you been to a Dr or tried an elimination diet? (That's the first thing a lot of doctors might ask you to do). Maybe you've become lactose intolerant or developed a food allergy (I think eggs is a pretty common one too) I hope you feel better!

    No I can't afford a doctor

    Also I avoid dairy cause I noticed I started getting lactose intolerance in my early twenties

    I don't really understand it, I try to eat a lot of fiber because I used to get constipated. Now I don't really get constipated anymore unless I'm on a bender.

    I just get violent storms of .. whatever comes out

    That sounds horrible, I'm so sorry.

    My husband is pretty sick with IBD and has to be really careful about what he eats (similar to diets for people with IBS). If you can't see a Dr it might be worth it do a little experimemting on your own with a low-FODMAP diet or elimination diet for IBS.

    Also, make sure you aren't eating foods that contain xylitol or malitol. I've made that mistake before and paid the price.

    Good luck. Get well soon.

    This changed my life. Now I know what my trigger foods are, so I can avoid them when I go out.
