I use Mintec Peppermint oil tablets.
Buy them from the supermarket, chemist.
I have IBS and diverticulitis. I also gave internal bleeding hemrroids for which I has sclerotherapy to shrink them. I had 2 successful procedures but my last one failed and caused a perforation with a septic abcess and fistula. I have been hospitalized 3 times now. Has anyone experienced anything similar. Apparently the failed procedure is considered rare.
Thank you

I was just wondering does anyone experience body aches and fatigue with IBS? Last night after I went to sleep I started having body aches and was like NO!! I can.t get sick... I did have a flare up yesterday and it when on all day and apparently through the night with the aches and then this morning too. I've been on a light diet since yesterday. Just curious if body aches is normal. I feel so sleepy and run down
Yes fibromyalgia and IBS go hand and hand.
I wouldn't say I have a flare up everyday or extreme pain, but I definitely do have abdominal discomfort at least 6/7 days of the week. I'm new to this diagnosis and am just trying to figure out what is common/normal for this.
Any information/testimonies would be great
My gastroenterologist prescribed IBGuard. It's not a prescription. They are OTC. These are capsules that contain Peppermint Oil. These definitely help almost 100% with my daily stomach pain. I… read more
My old GP diagnosed me 10 years ago with IBS but i never knew i should have seen a specialist until now. I'm just wondering how many more out there haven't seen a specialist

Yes! Sugar feeds bad bacteria which in turn releases gases and sugar feeds cancer. It also roughens up coronary arteries
once you have had a flare do you eat that day or following day and what do you eat ?
I have no diet as I dunno if anything upsets my stomach I can eat the same things and then some days have a flare cant seem to find a pattern :( but never know what to eat after one usually I go with out food for rest day or following day because to scared to eat :(
I aso have just broth, maybe crackers, applesauce for a couple of days after a flare-up. Certainly nothing else. NO milk or dairy.
So I have decided I am sick of the stomach pain, nausea, throwing up, and the other end issues. With no help from the dr’s. I finally am going to start giving up gluten and see if that helps eat a little better, and cleaner. More veggies that kind of stuff. Is there anything that others have tried that has helped, vitamins giving up certain things? Any help or incite would be very appreciated.. thank you
