Hi everyone,
I am looking for more clarification on how Paul got IBS. We know that it was in late 1964 that he got it. But IBS has no known cause, at least not what I was able to find on the internet. Everywhere I read is that it has no known cause or it's cause is stress/psychologically related. How did he get the IBS in the first place? Was it from eggs? How specifically did the eggs give him IBS? What was in the eggs that could have triggered it? Your input is greatly appreciated.

I don't know how Paul got IBS but I can tell you some of the causes. My sister has IBS, it materialized when she was in her mid 20's. The suspected cause for her was a typically bad British diet of fatty fried foods also abuse of diet pills, alcohol and smoking. In a matter of weeks her weigh fluctuates so dramatically that she has to be hospitalized. its a particularly brutal illness that she lives with every day

Spanky - I didn't know that IBS could be that severe. I thought that maybe he had Crohn's disease & it was misunderstood as being IBS... Maybe it was IBS then ... Thanks for the inout, hon.... Love to all... Chris

I've always noticed that about Paul. His weight seemed to change overnight. I've found lots of pictures that were taken within a month or two of each-other that seem drastically different in weight.

yeah the weight yoyo weight loss/gain is very noticeable in IBS sufferers. My sisters weight can change by 20 to 30LBs in just a couple of weeks then balloon right back up again. Another common visual clue is red eyes. My sis always has bloodshot eyes. Luckily she has never had to wear diapers, then again she hardly ever leaves the house during an episode

Is it me or do Paul's eyes look somewhat bloodshot in the butcher pictures?

It was scrambled eggs. He sung about his deteriorating health in the song "Yesterday". Faul made up a silly story about how the song used to be called "Scrambled Eggs" and thus gave us another clue. And that is why Paul was the "The Eggman" as well as "The Walrus".
You know, I wonder how much longer Paul would've lasted in this world if he hadn't been kidnapped in any case. Would he have survived 30?

Thanks Paul Bearer. You're the person I was looking for an answer from. But what was in the eggs that gave Paul IBS? Ususally a single food item doesn't cause IBS.

yes Paul bearer he would have lived past 30. as long as it is handled responsibly you can live a relatively normal live. my sis is 36 and shows no signs of going anywhere anytime soon

Sun_King is yet to give me the full information on this but...he got it as well around about the same time! It appears it may've been some kind of general food scandal in the world at that time.
Sun_King, more info please!

I wondered that. A woman's revenge for being spurned?
Why she [health] had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I SAID SOMETHING WRONG [rejected a woman?] Now I long for yesterday

i don't think so, if he was poisoned he was one of the most unlucky chaps in the world between that and the kidnapping.... and in defense of women everywhere, we tend not to poison every man that dumps us....

But he wasn't just any man...he was James Paul McCartney. And it only takes one overwrought over-sensitive girl...
Paul and John tended never to do uggies (excuse the blatant sexism) (oh and of course with the exception of Yoko to disprove the rule but anyway) so maybe this girl was a little "challenged" in the looks department and though she approached Paul making it quite obvious what she wanted he told her where to get off (they'd get so much attention by all sorts of girls that it would become a nuisance after a while).
Of course, this is speculation but I do remember a story where a girl supposedly apprached Paul (I think they were on tour of the states but it might've been the 66 one which is too late for our scenario) saying she'd had a dream that they were to be married and she seemed quite convinced it was fate or something but Paul rebuffed her.

I don't know if it's true... It's a pretty awful idea, though... He loved women though. God bless him.... Chris

"I SAID SOMETHING WRONG" during an interview and then he was...? The "Yesterday" interpretation was a part of "60IF". There is only one episode of "60IF" never published yet: It's about The Beatles contacting a medium to "talk" with James Paul and Brian. Now I am a bit "on troubles" guys! I MUST go on "holidays" from this matter. Paul_Bearer KNOWS ALL I know about. "Once I was Paul_Truth...now I 'm just Sun_King" Please remember: "60IF" TODAY is what CLOSER to the truth. "James Paul McCartney and Brian Epstein were replaced in fall 1966." THIS IS THE TRUTH My last suggestions. Please see the films: - Jerry Zucker's "Ghost" (about 60IF) - Robert Zemekis’ "Death Becomes Her"(about John Lennon end). Here comes the Sun King

S.K... DEATH BECOMES HER !!!!!!! Are you saying that John never died, he just sold his sold to stay young forever That's beyond creepy !!! Although, 40 years old is a fine age for a man .... HMMMMMM... I'm giving it some thought... BTW -those two movies are two of my favorite movies of all time. I just saw Ghost again, less then 2 weeks ago !!! I think you're spot on about it relating to James Paul & Brian... Luv yah... ;D Have a wonderful holiday !!!!!! Chris

Sun_King, are you saying that Paul said something wrong in an interview which provoked "them" to poison him? What did he say that was supposedly so "wrong"?

Hey Friends!!! Everythings ALL RIGHT!!! I'm only on holidays!!! "Sun_King, are you saying that Paul said something wrong in an interview which provoked "them" to poison him? What did he say that was supposedly so "wrong"?" Yes yes yes! Please take a look at the "complete" Beatles interviews site about what Paul said in 1964-1965. The first attempt to his life? P.S. If I don't reply it means that I am not on-line. Not that I'm unable to reply. And I still thing this forum is a QUITE a labyrinth. Please change its layout. Thank You! ;D
