Experiences with

Fybogel

My gp gave me Fybogel but I don’t want to take it as it has aspartame in it and that really doesn’t agree with me. Does anyone have any other suggestions how I can achieve my goal of getting a normal poop ( in my mind that’s a sausage!!)

Has anyone had any experience with Fybogel?

I don`t think I have eaten anything that would have caused this but it seems unlikely such a small amount of Fybogel would have done this. Has anyone else reacted like this to Fybogel?

- I take fybogel but I am living in China and I'm about to run out so I have bought natural psyllium husk powder, and I am going to see if this helps as much or more than fybogel - though I have read that Recugel is better?

I have fybogel everyday but I am going to run out soon so I really need a replacement. I have buscopan but I don't use it so often now, mainly sometimes when I go out to eat. Hot water helps with bloating.

I found out yesterday that I have IBS, been given Fybogel (sorry if spelt it wrong!) plus Mebeverine tablets to take up to 3 times a day, anyone got any advice as to what foods are best to avoid?

I have diverticulitis and PAF, drugs don't help the stomach but, I keep problem at bay most of the time by 1 Fybogel with merbeverine. 2 avoiding any thing with seeds in in 3 no chickpeas 4 AND the seemingly impossible task of escaping stress inducing grown up kids and ancient dependent mothers.

Normally if going out somewhere , I would take Imodium as a safety measure , then get bunged up and have pain , then take Fybogel to get to loo for relief. Often needed to get to loo urgently , particularly after eating.

Current medication includes Mebeverine, Fybogel and painkillers when abdominal pain worsens.

Im just so sick of been fobbed off today I left my GP office with fybogel stuff for IBS! its so frustrating. she thinks i have celiac diease so i went to boots and had a test done myself - it was negative!

I suffer with the constipation constantly but take Fybogel for that I've tried Mebeverine, Buscopan and my GP recently prescribed Audmonal and none of them seem to work. I know which foods trigger it off and avoid them like the plague.

Also how about fybogel for constipation? Thanks xxx

My GP has been really good to me - I've have had various tests (blood tests to check for inflammation, anaemia, celiac, etc which, other than low iron, all came back fine) and have tried several medications over the months (senna, Laxido, Fybogel, mebeverin, amitriptyline, milk of magnesia, lactulose

I took Fybogel for an extended period of time to try and resolve this and it worked initially, however I no longer take it and my bowel movements are still irregular. I go around 4-5 times a day on average. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern with anything.

I Already have to take Fybogel daily don't want any more problems in that area 😂 Thanks Paula

Fybogel seems to give me a lot of painful wind while Lacido works but can make me go too far the other way and makes me feel ill..At the moment I'm feeling really depressed and don't know what to do, what to take or eat etc. Are pro biotics good for constipation?

I have taken a fybogel and loads of water,I was going to go to the doctors , but I don't feel up to it at the moment. Can ibs or wind pains cause extreme pain on the lower right I have examined my self and the area is tender and painful to touch.

I have tried various things for constipation (mebeverine, magnesium citrate, fybogel, psyllium) and some of them have worked on and off but never reliably and i know deep down that the cause of all this is anxiety/brain-gut connection and I was wondering whether antidepressants would help with this?

I have acid all the time and lots of gas..I saw Dr after 2 weeks as was having dull aching under left ribcage around heart area and also aching lower back, (which has now almost gone).and occasional sharp pain low in right buttock...She said she was certain its my ibs and gave me Buscopan, Fybogel and

If not, would using both fybogel and magnesium citrate in conjunction with each other work?
