Experiences with

Fybogel

I need to take Fyobgel quite a lot to help manage my symptoms and just wondered if it was safe to take Fybogel long term? I've been taking Fybogel almost daily for the last 6 months.

I also take a daily fybogel nothings working or making any sense at the moment I have lots of pelvic pain as well

I was taking Fybogel for a few days, it worked but still wasn’t getting everything out so i am now trying Laxido. Today was my first day taking it and ive taken 3x sachets and 1 sachet of fybogel. Nothing has happened yet. I just wondered peoples experiences with both of these?

Taken Senna, Fybogel and Laxido and haven’t had any bowel movements. I’ve seen people say to take Bisacodyl as this is quite strong. What are people’s experiences with this? Does it work? When is the best time to take it?

I saw another gastro guy who suggested try Fybogel and I'm seeing a Dietician soon to get their view. Anyone else had/ has similar problems to me and any advice on whether Fybogel or diet has helped. He also mentioned Mebeverine which may be worth trying Thanks

however my IBS C never seemed to go away and fybogel on prescription only helped with constipation and not bloating and pain every day even after eating small amounts .

I have also tried medication like Fybogel, and fibre supplements like psyllium husk, and with those I just get the same result; severe bloating and no constipation relief. So I just wanted to ask and see if any of you on here who have IBS-C have found a solution for your constipation.

I am pretty sure fybogel is safe to use, but any tips would be appreciated as I feel pretty sick this morning!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Many hypo symptoms have returned in the last 6 weeks or so, esp awful constipation (back on Fybogel twice a day)+cold hands+feet even in warm weather. I do hate socks on in bed but my feet are so cold. My hair’s lack lustre, too.

Several (including laxido, fybogel, and lactulose) have made my stool softer but I still could not empty my bowels properly and would have to go urgently several times throughout the day (to the point where I could not leave the house).

I'd been constipated for over a week so started taking fybogel once a day, which worked a week later. Now Ive got cramps and diarrhea and don't know what to do? I take antispasmodic tablets and paracetamol but nothing is working, any ideas?

but going to the doctors today (big issue with leaving the house ) I definitely don’t need any fybogel I need Imodium does any one else with IBS change from constipation to very loose bowels in a matter of a few hours

Can no longer tolerate any form of fibre and Fybogel is definitely a no no. Am on immune suppressants for rheumatoid disease so wonder if it is a side effect and wonder if IBS just gets worse with age.

She insisted I follow her Plan. 3 docusate and 1 fybogel sachet daily. To ignore what other drs have said. I began with this on 1st March, I’m now on day 6, have still not opened my bowels. I have terrible backache , stomach aches still, which she said is nothing to do with bowels.

Has anyone taken the mebeverine with fybogel ? And does it work ? .. thanks

GPs over the years have only suggested Fybogel and probiotics which cost me £40 per month. I tried all sorts and types inc symprove , axis biotic and Alforex. I can’t tell you how life changing taking this miracle powder twice a day has change my life. In short I’ve got it back.

I recently had a flare that caused severe pain around my lower bowl and right hand side, I was sent away from my GP with advice to take fybogel.. To manage my chronic constipation and pain I had a colon hydrotherapy before Xmas and it felt better.

The gp has just changed me from laxido to fybogel mebeverine. I've taken half a sachet and the pain is horrendous. It is causing awful cramps. I'm not sure what to do as I can't carry on with the constipation. I tried upping the fibre and that did the same and aggrevated the symptoms 🥹

I was very constipated yesterday so currently having a fybogel. Can anyone advise please? Is this just to be expected?
