Ibs

[welshbaby]

I have had ibs for about 6 years now maybe more. I take mebeverine 3 times a day but its still bad on days. Im in so much pain i just dont go out. I do take painkillers for other things so it do help sometimes for the pain. It dont matter what i eat i always got to run to the loo.

If anyone got any info that may help i would be greatful. Thank you

Its maybe something in your diet that is causing the pain. Have you tried eliminating different food groups to see what helps and what doesn't? I changed from mebeverine to dicycloverine as it wasn't helping anymore as id been on it for years. I also found minimising dairy and gluten helps with my IBS x

It could be gluten intolerance if you eat it a lot and can get a routine blood test to check for celiacs. You could try taking tums or rennies or gaviscon after you eat to see if it helps calm down your stomach an reduce the pain?
