Silicolgel?

[Binturong00]

Hi,

Has anyone tried Silicolgel or anything similar to treat their symptoms? I've just bought some to try and just wondered if anyone else had.

Thanks

Quite a few people have posted on here about Silicol Gel and, like every other IBS treatment, it seems to work for some and not others. It did absolutely nothing for me.

I have tried it and it helped. I take it with a little water added which makes it easier to swallow..

For my condition ( excessive burping ) it was brilliant

Thanks for the replies. I'm still getting used to the site so didn't know how to search for previous posts! I've bought it anyway so will give it a shot!

I'm just trying to find anyway to help myself at the minute as I seem to be going backwards with my new gastro Dr.

Symptoms are; loose/frequent stools with regular diarhhoea but have occasional constipation, slow moving when I go to the toilet, permanent bloating, abdominal pain, rectal pain, nausea, reflux, heaviness in the abdomen, dehydration, fatigue, rectal bleeding (prev Dr said this is definitely not due to piles, new one thinks it is without even looking at them) dysperenea (so). Worse in the mornings, takes most of the day for the pain to go away.

I have been using fybogel for about 6 months. I suffer with IBS, and am not constipated with IBS. It seems to have helped.I take only one a day.Get your doctor to prescribe 60,on one script like I do. Lasts me 2 months. It will not cure you but I find it makes it easier,and seem to have less "bad" days.

I've had fybogel previously and it makes me constipated I have to have low amounts of fibre.

[cheshirecat48 in reply to Binturong00]

Even on one a day?

[Binturong00 in reply to cheshirecat48]

Yup

Yes I have tried Sillcolgel over several days have found it for my condition it has been marvellous For years I have suffered with excessive belchng / burping (don't laugh ) but very disabilitating .

I will make a final evaluation in a few weeks but so far so goodb
