Not anymore. I found what's working for me and bye bye surching ;-)

I took a medication that significantly eased my IBS for 35 years, unfortunately the licence for Lomotil was removed a couple of years ago in the UK.
The substitute is Imodium, which is of some very limited help, but no real substitute.
I envy some of you guys (and gals) in the States.

So what’s your secret Larry??

The IBguard is over-the-counter.

The best for spasms and gas are the peppermint oil capsules. I use IBgard which is sold at Walmart, etc. Also, try to avoid any carbonated drinks, plus any vegetables winch will cause gas, such as cabbage, broccoli, any sort of beans, etc. Also it's best to avoid milk and any dairy products.
