Although most of my symptoms are under control thanks to taking Phenergan at night, I still have a slight problem with cows' milk and whilst doing an online search for more info, I came across several references to A2 milk - something completely new to me - and have been glued to my screen for the past hour reading up on it:
If you have medically-diagnosed lactose intolerance this won't be for you as it contains a normal amount of lactose. However, only 5% of the population of the UK are actually lactose intolerant whilst 20% are intolerant of the A1 protein instead.
For anybody out there with any or all of the usual IBS symptoms, this has got to be worth following-up. I plan to start a trial run with A2 milk next week, it's available at all of the major supermarkets.
I wanted to try A2 milk but when I tried a little bit, my IBS kicked in immediately with tummy tightening as I subconsciously worried that I might get a reaction. Would be interested to see how other IBS sufferers respond to trying the product.
lousy been on a FODMAP diet which did not suit me but though it may be worth using lactose free milk of which l am still trying to see if it help thee lBS as l get pain and spasam in the tummy l may give the A2 milk a try if l don't get any impovement .
Hi roise , I agree with your post , I brought some of this A2 milk only yesterday, so yes anything is worth trying on the other hand to try and relieve ibs symptoms , good luck with it and let us know how you get on, Katie
Hi roise , I didn't really notice much different from having the a2 milk myself but I do think its to early to say probably need to try it for a few weeks really. How did you find the a2 milk , have you notice any difference ?
Yes, I've noticed some difference inasmuch as I can tolerate milky drinks better. I still have a little bloating after dairy but not so bad. Give it a bit longer and see how things go.
I had good results on the phenergan, but made me super sleepy. After a bad day with my anexiety I went to the doctors, enough was enough, he put me on a low level beta blocker called propranolol.... Works a treat. I have had normal bowel movements (touch wood) now for a few weeks.
My ibs was defiantly anexiety related. I hope to be in this good space for a while now and maybe my gut can heal a little, and then I can look into really treating the anexiety with some natural remerdies, meditation etc, but working with the pills also.
Glad you are doing well too.
Ps? I have a problem with dairy also, but am using almond milk and arla milk at the moment. Xx
Thanks very much for this info, will certainly take a look. It's always interesting to know what methods other people adopt.
So glad you've found something that works for you.
I found that the morning-after effects of Phenergan only lasted for about a week although I still get a great night's sleep with it.
