IBS sufferer

[Deirdre49]

Anyone out there with any news today dead for treating this Condition that had plaqued me for 20 years. Constant pain either constipated or running to loo. No help from clinical medicine.

Im sorry, I've never heard of your condition. But chronic pain here is treated by many firms such as homeopathic medicine, I believe is more effective than the typical forms such as pain killers. We also have access to a drug that happens to be illegal in many countries. I'd truly look into other safe methods of managing your pain. Chinese herbs do wonders in tea as well. When you find the one that works for you, life will seem easier.

Hi Deirdre49 ,

There is a very helpful page on the NHS Choices website which covers many different ways to help manage IBS. You can read it at healthunlocked.com/lupusuk/...

There is also a HealthUnlocked community for IBS which you can join at healthunlocked.com/theibsne...

I would urge caution about Lenocker68 's advice. It is always best to discuss any complementary therapies with your doctor first because they can potentially have adverse effects or interact with other treatments. It is also important to bear in mind that what works for one person may not work for another, or could be potentially harmful.

Well of course anyone would talk to their doctor before starting a new medication. It was simply a suggestion.
