Disappointed

[Agelesslass]

Was looking forward to running parkrun this morning, when my IBS struck and I had to abandon it, hate this illness. Do any of you have this problem? Runners’ nightmare

So sorry to hear that, I sometimes get acid reflux when running.

This sounds like a nightmare. Hope you're feeling more settled soon.

Oh what a shame, poor you. I used to suffer from it but over the years it seems to have waned. I used to take a pill called mebeverine that really helped on my bad days. Good luck with it and I hope you get on top of it.

I have had that exact same issue. Got all ready to go to Parkrun, and then the pain.

Nothing you can do really, anything you can take won't work in time.

My doc says that running is more than likely the best cure for IBS as he believes it is stress related. I'm not so sure myself.

I used to take 'Fibogel with Mebeverine', and this might be a good idea for a couple of days before an important race. I'd talk it over with the doc.

Sympathy Agelesslass.

Thankyou, I’ve had this for over twenty years, when it flares up it’s a nightmare, I’ve tried every tablet under the sun, nothing helps. I love my running and so hate not been able to do it at the moment

Sorry Agelesslass. 😞❤️

I don’t have IBS, but a different type of spinal cord flare-up still stops my activities when it wants to, so I know how you feel. Hugs ❤️xx
