Everything you wrote about gut happens to most people.  Not in your head, but in your brain.  The same nerve endings and chemicals of the brain are also found in whole gut. As one grows back and changes without medicine, so will the other.  The gut is called "the second brain."

 

If you can take a peppermint pill or oil, it will help the gas bubbles. Drink warm water with lemon first thing in the morning.  May help start the gut for food.  As you get better, the gut should stop being bad.

 

Bless you and well done on stopping Benzo.

My colon hurts like hell at the moment. I have a bowel movement every morning between 7 and 9.  But later in the day I feel I need to go again, when the pain becomes more serious. Never much to speak of. I take Mebeverine twice a day,  20 minutes before eating. Doesn't seem to do the job like it used to do. I suffer from IBS.  Thinking about seeing a specialist Dr. and having a colonoscopy done, if it weren't for that that awful drinking and emptying of the body. Ughh. Anyone else with colon pain? What helps you?

My gut has been weird too on and off.  What really helps me is to eat a meal of steamed vegetables and brown rice.  It gets things moving.  I would stay away from any processed food and sugar and just try to get the rice and veges in.

Cathymp,  have you tried taking some ground up flaxseed in your morning oatmeal porridge?  Not the whole seed. Two glasses of luke warm first thing in the morning. Works quite well for most people. A couple of soaked plums a day. Drinking enough fluids. I hope things improve quickly for you! 

Pin888:  I took probiotics (9  colony forming Strains) for a week and a half, but felt worse. So stopped again to see what would happen. It is suggested you take it for max. 6 weeks and then stop for a while.

Several things can help: 1) low dose magnesium- It helps smooth muscle to contract. Helps wd too. 2) Vitamin C- Use the buffered form or liposomal form. Take 1000mg doses.  Try one for the first day. No results? Try two the next day (12 hours apart) etc. until results.  3) Make sure to drink adequate water.  Put a known quantity like a liter by the bed/couch and take a few sips every hour until gone. 4) Low dose caster oil.  Stimulates the bile and causes contractions. 5) Meds-  Resolor good gentle laxative, or motilium something that increases gut contractions.

 

Check your thyroid.  Low thyroid can cause a pseudo bowel obstruction.  The gut is fine but there's not enough energy at the muscle level to cause contractions.

 

Withdrawal can cause this especially if there are hormonal or vitamin/mineral deficiencies. Best of luck
