7 to 10 bowel movements a day.

I always have to strain to have a bowel movement otherwise it will not fully evacuate. Is there a natural remedy I can take for this kind of ibs. Just had my first SIBO breath test yesterday. Awaiting for the results to come back. Please somebody help.!

In addition to a good laxatve such as Movicol, try using a mini-enema (Micralax or Fleet) after your first bowel movement which should clear out any remaining stool.

Hi

Ive had ibs for years and years and to tell truth ive tried everything.

I go between ibs c to d! Theres not reasoning behind why other then i eat one of my trigger foods il b in toilet all day if i dont i may go 2-4 days without goin.

The only thing that works for me is when i do have a flare i use buscopan and senocalm ibs tablets and that stops

The pain and let it come out and When i have the other i take lactulose solution.

I went to see a gastro specialist ( i did have candida /sibo)and she told me not to treat the problems as they come treat it as a whole so about 18months ago i went on a diet of no sugar, no processed food , no dairy and no gluten. Also to make ur gut flora healthy.

So i take probiotics, enzymes( breaks down the food u eat) magnesium( as most people that have ibs are usually lacking ) vitamin c.

After changing my diet and these tablets i have had 2 episodes in 18months and that coz someone “ gluted” me. So i defo have a intolerance to gluten. I reintroduce some dairy, ie abit of lactose free cheese every now and again.

I cant eat spice or garlic or onions.

I just eat really clean and healthy which has not just resulted to ibs going i also have lost 2 stone( i was slim anyway) my hair, nails, skin look healthier, i have loads more energy.

So it case of really treating ur problem ie IBS NOT just treating the c or d

Have you tried stool softeners. There is a brand in the US called Colace.

Fybogel I was having about 5 movements a day now it’s down to 2 sometimes even only 1. It’s a plant extract so natural and safe to take long term
