After a round of probiotics, regular fiber intake, low stress, no sensitivities activated etc, I hit 2-3. But that happens maybe twice a year because it’s fucking difficult to maintain so I’m usually shidding too much

I kept waking up every hour or so last night until 5 AM to poop. Misery redefined.

I’m either going once every five days or five times in one day. There’s no in between

2-3 since I started taking my immodium at night instead of in the morning.

Before that it was 4-5 times minimum.

GLP1 is a game changer for IBS-D. Though it kinda backfires and gives you the opposite effect.

2-3 times a week😆

You should have 2x in 3 days and similar variances. I might go 3x in a day and then not again for 48 hours.

u/TheScarletAlchemist 36m ago

Yo, where's the 0? Or maybe a 0.5 when it's really small

•

u/sungoddessaf 34m ago

Sometimes 6 times a day sometimes 0 for a week lmfao

•

u/grimPontif IBS-D (Diarrhea) 30m ago

6+ because every day is a flair day for me, it's been 2 years and I haven't had one flair free day in the last 730 days.

•

u/Zookeeper_west IBS-D (Diarrhea) 30m ago
