Irritable bowel syndrome is an umbrella term used for a lot of conditions, and back in the 1960s, was often used as a diagnosis for other, more serious diseases.

Symptoms of true IBS are diarrhoea and/or constipation, stomach cramps, bloating, trapped wind or excessive wind, loss of appetite, and, occasionally, vomiting.

It's rare for IBS to be fatal, but, as I stated before, it's often used as a diagnosis for other, possibly fatal, diseases.

Paul would be dead because of these symptoms? one speaks equally spasm in to you it had? that is that l' has to kill exactly?

[RitaLolo]

Cuckoo first of all merçi for your reception!!! some does I know this that this is the IBS because I myself attained of a hemorrhagic rectocolite that is the cousin of the disease of crohn! !!! But I would like to know exactly if Paul had this disease, is if it to been able in mourrir? When to the English this is not evident then I help myself of a translator on Internet or otherwise I know that I can do calls for you!!! merçi!!

We don't really know exactly what disease Paul suffered from - it was never documented.

.... IBS is sometimes used as a generic term in referring to a group of illnesses. The group includes Crohn's Disease, colitis, and ulcerative colitis....

Actually, I have Crohn's disease and I can tell you that IBS is not related to Crohn's and Colitis. IBD is the group that contains Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's. You can find more info at www.ccfa.org
I do know that there is no cure for IBD. I believe there is no cure for IBS, but am not sure. So, that leads me into this - has anyone asked Paul (Faul) recently if he has or had this disease? IBD and IBS are always looking for sponsors to help find a cure, and would think that if Paul (or Faul) has this, he would definitly be a contributer on public record. You wouldn't think he would donate all this money to Land Mines and not IBD / IBS? I think the goal is to find out if he admits to having the disease. If no, let's try and find public record of JPM having it. There should not be a difference.... or is there?.....

There is one more bowel condition.

My aged mother nearly died in 1990 from a bout of "transient ischemia" that occured in her bowel. She lost her entire lage intestine, and over half of her small intestine. She has an ileostomy.
Her weight was once 105-115, it hovers around 80-85. (She is short.) She is 85 and copes with it.

Her bowel lost the circualtion suddenly one day, the bowels began to twist themselves internally to get blood. When they did the laparotomy, the intestines were twisted wierdly and necrosis had begun. They had to perform two 6 hour operations to get her right.

In a vision or dream in her hospital room, an apparition of her deceased mother appeared to her and told her that she would not die, but would live a while. That was 13 years ago. We had all but lost hope.

Her recuperation was slow. This situation, I believe, would not have been fixable in the 1960's.

Transient ischemia is the passing loss of circulation in an organ of the body. It can be brain or liver or others. It is like, she had a "heart attack" of the intestines. She has small veins anyway, and arterioscerosis. Something triggered this strange attack; we don't really know what it was. Without fairly immediate help she would not have made it.

I thank God for her ongoing life and continued presence in my life.

Bowel" wants to say "intestine" in English and the disease of which want you to speak is the "Syndrome of the irritable intestine" (Irritable Bowel Syndrom - IBS). In French one calls it rather "functional colopathie" or "functional disturbance of the intestine". This a disturbance very shed (30% French), translating itself by similar painful symptoms to those of the MICI, but their nature - poorly known also - has not nothing to have with a dérèglement inflammatoire. This not at all is therefore a disease linked to the MICI. On the other hand 30% of them as the sick nos there is submitted and, for them, the problem is of not to confuse this disease with a sprout of MICI. This is not a disease engraves, but she can be very painful also. One attributes it to a dérèglement of the nervous system and one the draft to the antidouleurs assistance and, eventually, of antidepressants (this that often poorly accepted by the patients that believe that one wants to care for them psychiquement). The anti-anti-inflammatoires are evidently totally useless.

How did anyone find out that Paul had IBS? There is a note from a “doctor” on this site, but one can never tell if it is genuine, especially considering the misspelled words in it.

Paul and the boys used to drink and do speed and live the wild life in the early days, especially in Hamburg. Wouldn’t a potentially fatal condition make that sort of lifestyle extremely dangerous?

Not sure if I buy the whole IBS thing. There is a post somewhere on this site about how pained Paul looks in the “Day Tripper” video (might be another song). But the official story is that he crashed his car and split his lip, which would account for the scarring, and the fact that his face was still swollen in the video.

It’s all very confusing.

[Karma76]

anybody have a picture of the day tripper video?

[Eggman]

It's not the "Day Tripper" video I think. AlfredBach is refering to "Paperback Writer" video, I think

[byrdsmaniac]

2 different Pauls shown above?

[helterskelter]

Yeah, I think so byrds, but I'm definitley not an expert on this type of thing...
