I have found a reasonably priced squatty potty on Amazon and just wanted some first hand recommendations before making my purchase, thanks in advance 😊

have just been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease. I don't need surgery but It will be two months before my next appointment and I can start some kind of treatment. I want to try my hardest to find some kind of natural healing methods before I go back to the hospital and they prescribe me something like steroids. Does anyone have any suggestions? So far I have been trying aloe Vera but it doesn't seem to be having any affect..in quite a bit of pain:( thank you a

Has anybody tried these to help IBS.
Ginger, Peppermint, Anise, Chamomile and Fennel essential oils.
If so. Did they work and did they help you.

I've had chronic constipation since age 14,doctors back then told my mom to give me Fleet enema if I didn't have a BM by day 3 ,well I wound up having to get enemas from my mom (an exn LVN),almost every week till now(I'm in 50s)..

At the minute I'm doing ok apart from the odd belly ache and Joint Pain. I'd rather give up my appointment to see the gastro if I'm generally feeling ok. I don't see any point in going when someone else may need the guys time more than me.

Does anyone else get flare ups from time to time that will last all day or even two days? I'm having a flare up and it started this morning and comes and goes especially after I eat. I've been watching what I eat for a while now. I've cut out all spicy foods, acidy foods too. I've cut back on the red meat and greasy foods. I wasn't nasuous till now. And I will get like hot flashes too. Has this happened to anyone. I'm on hyscomine for the IBS. Probably not spelled correctly.
