Forgot to add i have recently been prescribed Mabeveriine Hydrochloride 135 mg x 3 and Amitriptyline 10mg. The latter helps relax me at night and the other helps reduce constipation.

Hi everyone I’m getting depressed lately. My Dr.has started me on high blood pressure medication. And my bowels only function once every two weeks I’m tired and get sleepless nights. Does anyone take high blood pressure medication that does not constipate them?
Thank you

And the doctor didn't address your constipation? Our heart rate and blood pressure can be affected by chronic constipation. Please talk to your doctor about and increase your water to 6-8, 8oz… read more

Hello. I have ibs-d and aside from bentyl I don't really take anything aside from occasional Imodium. My doctor recommended probiotics and I was wondering if anyone had had any relief with them. If so, what kind? Thanks!

What To Do Next??

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Ottawa, ON

I am at a bit of a loss here. I have been on this "investigation" of why my stomach sucks for the last 2 years but have suffered silently for the last 15 years.

I have had an endoscopy done a year and a half ago. This revealed a hernia in my stomach. There was not much mentioned to me about this, if it was of any cause for concern or how to manage any symptoms that I am having that could be related to it.

Three months ago, after bringing back to the table that I am still having stomach… read more

Has Anyone Else Tried The Low-FODMAP Diet For IBS-C (NOT IBS-D)? If So, How Did It Go For You??

Combining the low-FODMAP diet (modified with what I know I can handle based on the reintroduction phase) with a more personally "constipation friendly" diet… read more

Does Anyone Experience Little "bursts" In Their Stomach?

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Houston, TX

It's kind of hard to explain, but throughout the day I'll get these little "bursts" on the right side of my abdomen that sound like little farts, for lack of better words, coming from inside my abdomen. It's not like a regular rumbly tummy, but like little gurgly pop sounds and feels like shifting going on. My GI is kind of tired of me and says I'm just stressed from all my jobs. My PCD thinks it's trapped gas, but I'm not sure. She doesn't want to do any scans so as not to subject me to anymore… read more

Exactly! I have since stopped the metamucil and only take miralax if I haven't had a bowel movement in 3 days and doing that, along with taking pantoprazole short-term has helped this issue… read more
