Diarhee and huge bowel movements after eating

[Zippyyy]

Hello,

I'm new here and I have some serious annoying health issues atm it started a half year ago. First it started with diarhee, a few weeks later I needed to go to the toilet 3-5 times a day. A few weeks ago my bowel went crazy! My guts are making so much noise that I can't go to school anymore. Been to the doctor four times now and in a few weeks I have the result of a blood result. Most things they will test for is allergic reactions. Currently I'm trying a glutenfree dieet then I watched to my vapor and I was like can you maybe cause these issues? So I searched on the internet and I actually found some old threads wit exact the same symptoms. So I'm asking here is this really an issue for some people to be allergic for vapor liquid when they vape it? You would really save my life. I'm desperate.

Ps: when I was a child I was allergic for 101 things.

usual suspects for an irritable bowl:
- lactose intolerance (milk, joghurt, cheese)
- food allergies (rye,wheat,whathaveyou)
- prescription drugs

It's also possible you're either allergic to PG, or experiencing a not-so-unusual side effect of consuming VG, namely excessive bowl activity. Find out by process of elimination. Vape pure VG for a week, then switch to pure PG for a week and see if/what changes. Get a small bottle of each and just go for it. Within a short timespan, you'll know if your problems come from vaping, or not.

If you've been to a Doctor four times, I'd follow the treatment plan they've given.

If you've had no relief and haven't gotten some better after seeing a doctor four times, I'd get a second opinion/ find a gastroenterologist/ a specialist.

You need to follow the advice of medical professionals not random strangers from the interweb.

Sounds like IBS. Maybe vaping brought it on, maybe not. We are only guesstimating. Medical advice is not really in our wheelhouse.

Sounds like you have a crappy vape device. [emoji51][emoji38]

I must admit I immediately threw my vapor in the closet and started smoking again. I really hope my symptoms will vanish and I really hope I'm allergic for vaping liquid and vaping didn't get me IBS or something. Seriously I can jump off a bridge atm. These symptons are killing my (social) live.

Are there really people out there that are just allergic for some vaping indegrients and the symptoms went away when they quitted?

Yes I know next step will be a specialist for sure. And I know there are no doctors out here but maybe it's a known issue and some people can help me here.

Nicotine, whether smoking or vaping can be an IBS trigger, for some people.

Zippyyy it's a matter of time to figure it out,don't panic.

Yes I heard that but I really hope I don't have IBS lol.

I agree with you, my doctor told me the same. But I'm studying for engineer atm and this is the most important year by far for me and I already missed 2 weeks, future is on the line

Are you saying after four doctor visits and blood work the doctor(s) has no idea what's going on, has no diagnosis and is not at least attempting to treat your symptoms?

Always a chance it is stress related.

Nicotine, and the reasons folks use it, are known to be physiological and psychological.

Well they tried to treat the symptoms each visit they gave me heavier pills for IBS but they really don't work lol. But on the other hand you can't really cure IBS. Also they looked into my stool and there were no BIG diseases like cancer.

Could also be a not so healthy college diet.

There are other ways of vaping that might come into play. You have to take that, maybe partying, stress from academics, etc.

I can only speak to my own to my experience which is that I am sensitive (no allergic) to PG in my vape, but it merely hurts like pins and needles, it does not send me running to the bathroom. I am more "allergic" to some flavors, like some vanillas,, but they make me hoarse, they do not send me to the bathroom.

Holy goodness, you were allergic to 101 things as a child? I thought mine had it rough with 18. (He did allergy shots by the way, and he's fine now.)

What 101 things are you allergic to and are you allergic to them now? Because it is possible that one of those things MAY be found in your vape, IDK. I am also curious: if someone says they are allergic to 101 things, I'd really like to know what they were/are before even hazarding a GUESS.

I will also hazard a guess that you MAY be able to vape, using a kind of elimination approach (no pun intended) but I would seriously consider like, doing it with a doc on board. I use PEG400 in my mixes for example, to substitute for PG, but it MAY be a reasonable substitute for VG. Please note I am not RECOMMEMNDING that, for all I know it may be worse for your bowls. Vape unflavored. Vape no nic. Start with as few ingredients as possible UNDER the care of supervision of whatever of your "specialists' if any took the vaping idea seriously.

Switching back to cigs MAY tell you something about vaping but NOT necessarily. I have read somewhere (I can't cite it< I don't remember) that cigarettes (not vaping) but cigarettes SPECIFICALLY have some usefulness in treating IBS and vaping does not.

So it may not be the vape, but rather the removal of cigarettes doing it hence correlation not causation. It's easy to confuse the two. Get thee to a gastroenterologist, etc. There are decent treatments for IBS these days that don't require smoking.

And finally I am not a medical professional but a random person on the internet. These are my thoughts, not medical advice.
