Opinions please x

Yes this all sounds pretty normal unfortunately, I personally found the peppermint capsules made it worse so I changed to loperamide and buscopan, these worked much better

What did peppermint oil do I had colonoscopy and ct scan 9 months ago had problems for years wish I had normal tummy just left job that didn't help

Without being too graphic it upset my stomache more and made my poo sting and smell really bad of peppermint lol. It wasn't good

Hi I also get sick sometimes with the diarrhea, I'm taking 10mg of amitriptyline. It stops the diarrhea but leaves you constipated, fed up with it all.

Have you tried eminiating foods.

My symptoms are diarrhorea and I found that all dairy and lactose affected me so am on a strict dairy free diet.

If you are intolerant of lactose you will find that a lot of tablet medication, including loperamide, contains tactose.

I am 46 years old had this since I was 19 .I feel bloated all the time what ever I eat even if I have no food.i try to eat healthybut am very fussy with food.

The gas could be due to what you had eaten in last meal, diet is important. Sometimes difficult to pinpoint exactly what food. You need to take a anti-diarrheal when it gets too bad.

have any of you tried the low FODMAP diet - it helps lots of people
