Experiences with

Fybogel

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

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

Would fybogel help?

I'm going for four days at a time with no movement even though I'm taking docusate, senna, fybogel and macrogol all the time. Candy

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.

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

I take fybogel and have a diet to keep stool soft. Some times during the month ( not period times),I get a very sharp pain in my rectum that lasts few minutes and then goes away.If go for a fast walk,I rectum ( on the left side) gets painful.

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

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.

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

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

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?!

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.

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

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..

At first I thought this was normal so I tried fybogel which didn't do much but then I started to having feelings of being bloated in my lower abdomen/rectum even after passing stools.

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.
