Really suffering with ibs. Always worse afternoons. Feeling exhausted and can't get on with my work. Quite depressed. Anybody else feel like this . Any tips please

I find peppermint tea can be quite soothing, doesent get rid of the misery entirely. But it's a start

hi

yes! iv got it today struggle to get to work. seeing nutrionist today. i seem to get back hip pain more than in groin these days.heating helps with paracetomol n Mebeverine. rest helps. felt quite low this morning as it woke me 2 am and again at 6 am.

think it could be shrmps this time. no caffeine today as that make sit worse. lots of water an gentle exercise might help you today. hope you soon feel better. try to think happy thoughts it helps. x

i understand as I have missed a lot of work due to ibs, I do probiotics, fod diet , have meds and still continue to have flare ups.

Your poor bowel needs a rest! Where do you work - you need to come out for a few days so you can concentrate on you, you need some relaxation to help, my i.b.s definitely worsens at night, what are you eating, how late and when. Do whatever you need to do to relax!

I've just started fodmap diet and take colofac - eat small meals and often - it's helping a lot, still get flare ups - always worse in evening but definitely better
