Diagnosed with ibs when i was 15. Diets i very hard for me with my work in recycling. Recently ive been having huge pains in bottom left side of my stomach....possibly wind? Everyone is talking about probiotic drinks but dairy kills me....What should i do.

Hi There, dont know if this will help you or not but my daughter in law suggested I eat gluten free foods for a while and it definately seemed to help my IBS. I did now and then eat normally if was out anywhere but still stick to Gluten free most of the time when I am at home. Good luck hope this helps.

Get some Acidophilus tablets from Holland & Barrett. .They contain billions of friendly bacteria that help our guts..I've been taking 2 of the chewable type, daily for 3 weeks and my flare up, which started in October, has calmed right down...I'm practically back to normal and eating what I like..Also taking Sunsweet pure Prune juice daily to keep things in order.

Just so you know, Yakult actually has virtually no lactose in it. Might be worth a try, and see how you react

Hiya. I agree with Jacey62. I've had digestive issues most of my life and recently found out I was intolerant to eggs, milk, wheat, gluten and a few other things. Cutting out all those food types made me feel great for a good while but I recently had another flare up (not sure why but maybe stress related). I bought the vegan probiotic Acidophillus from Holland & Barrett (they do a 20 billion friendly bacteria version to start and also a lower dose of 2 billion to maintain good gut health once you have been on them for a while). I also drink peppermint tea in the morning and things are definitely better for me (no longer on Immodium - yay!) Give it a try, you have nothing to lose! 😃
