Any fybogel alternatives?

I was recommended trying fybogel for my IBS-C from the gastrointestinal I spoke to but my mum has tried it before and apparently it tastes foul so I’m just wondering if there are any other alternatives that anyone knows of that are meant to be effective and wouldn’t trigger any symptoms like gas/pain

Any advice for constipation

I’ve been taking fybogel twice a day as advised but nothing. I’m drinking loads of water but just getting more bloated.

Anyone tried fybogel for diarrhoea?

I was wondering if anyone had tried fybogel for a similar issue and how they got on? I know its primarily used to help with constipation, but as it is a bulking agent some sources seem to say it can also help with diarrhoea too.

Dietitians Advice

Flaxseed daily instead of Fybogel, Also reintroduce bread and potatoes, which I had cut out. Back in 8 weeks to see if this helps.

Constipation for life

I have told the dr I have tried everything and nothin works and gets a healthy result but now he’s put me cosmocol and I’m in agony and when I take things like fybogel moviol and this I start to now trust my body. I’m embarrassed it’s the most natural thing and I can’t do it

Constant Lower Abdominal Pain But No Change in Bowels - Getting Desperate

I've tried Fybogel sachets to try and increase my fibre intake. Although it made me slightly more regular, it didn't bring me any relief of symptoms. I'm desperate for any insight into this as I am frustrated about the lack of help from my doctor.

IBS and Fybogel Mebeverine

Has anyone had any experience with Fybogel Mebeverine? I've being given this for my IBS and have been taking if for nearly two weeks but I'm sure it's not helping, if not aggravating it more. Thanks

Buscopan can help

Hope this helps I think fybogel can sometimes cause more bloating. But of course it is safer to speak to someone with medical knowledge before you do 😉 I hope this help

Rectal pain after miscarriage (ERPC)

She’s told me to take some fybogel and see how I get on (she’s thinks possibly it’s constipation which could be a result of the general anaesthetic). Anyway - has anyone else experienced this?!

How long did Diagnosis of ibs take

Besides buscopan and fybogel they haven't give me anything else and it's getting to the point where I just can't be bothered with it anymore and feel like I'm not being listened to.

Codeine and Fybogel

Can I take fybogel to help the constipation issues? I'm finding conflicting advice online.

Movicol - sticky motions!

Fybogel doesn`t help either so I switched to Movicol. It is more effective but causes 5 or 6 mainly small bm`s each day which are "sticky" and it takes ages to clean myself after each one. This makes me very sore and has even caused minor bleeding a couple of times..

constipation caused by amitriptyline

I`m taking fybogel twice a day, and using a glycerin suppository most days. I`m eating plenty of fruit and veg including prunes. I can`t eat much high-fibre cereal as that makes me very bloated and even more "bunged up". I have tried magnesium citrate in the past but it caused stomach cramps.
