Hi does anybody know the best anti inflammatory drug to use? I am currently having a flare up and look about 6 months pregnant!!! This flare up has lasted nearly two weeks and is getting worse not better. I am currently taking 5mg bu-trans and 8 co-codamol 30/500 a day, not coping too well with it all atm even though I've had this for 5 years. Any information will be appreciated xx

Hi Pandora I have IBS-D which they said is on the severe end of the scale!! I also suffer with anxiety and depression. My whole stomach is inflamed and when I push my hand into it I can feel a lump which I'm guessing is due to inflammation. I have had an MRI scan CT scan numerous blood tests all coming back to IBS-D!! I'm so fed up with it and living with it too x

Try the FODMAP elimination diet to find out what triggers your problems. Get the app from Monash University for about £7 it has made a huge difference to lots of us on this site. Just follow the green foods in the guide for 4-6 weeks then add back foods gradually by type to find your triggers.

hi

Co codamol not good for ibs sufferers as a rule. try paracetmol and buscopan.

Sorry your suffering so much. think you will improve without the codeine in cocodomol.

i only take 2 if ibs pain keep me awake at night but any more i find makes it worse ie D

GETS WORSE.Have you tried imodium if D a problem?

hope soon feel better. iv gone to 1 day a week ibs now which is 50% better tahn last year.
