Members shared their personal approaches to managing chronic constipation associated with IBS, with a strong preference for natural remedies over prescription medications. Several members recommended eating kiwi fruits, bran cereals, probiotic yogurt, kefir, porridge, spinach, and peppermint oil tablets purchased over the counter, while one member found success with Mebeverine and Amitriptyline prescribed by their doctor. A recurring theme was frustration with not knowing what ingredients are in medications and a desire to rely on whole foods and accessible remedies instead of pills that may not work or cause unwanted side effects.
