Can anyone give me some advice to manage the pains and the severity of my Endo and IBS, I’ve had Endo for almost 9 years I’m only 21 and yet I’m struggling to maintain the IBS side of things and it can get to the point where the toilet becomes my best friend 4/5 times a day alongside URGENCY… help… :(

Hi I have been suffering with symptoms of endo for 17 years and also significant bowel issues, having waited over 18 months on the NHS for surgery and slowly getting worse I decided to go and see a private consultant who diagnosed me with IBS this had never been mentioned before 😮🤷‍♀️

I’m now 4 weeks in on the LOW FODMAP diet and it’s has helped a great deal, unlike a lot of diets I have found it quite easy to stick to and follow.

😊

Hi, I have stage 4 and ibs I don’t have urgency issues like you but I done some research into live probiotics tablet form and started taking them and it changed my whole digestive system and even my skin and hair condition. I have a 50 billion live strain off Amazon £16 I think I paid and it changed everything for me! No more bloating no more pain it’s great. I’m not sure if it will help you but definitely worth reading some reviews or googling if they will help with your ibs? Hope this helps you out xx
