Hello everyone
I have recently been diagnosed with IBS-c with back pain being the pre-dominant symptom. Buscopan does relieve the excruciating pain I get . Movicol sorts out the constipation but what I'm wondering is , is it possible to help the pain by helping the condition by diet?. Your advice and experiences greatly welcomed as feeling confused.
Many thanks and happy new year. X
This is a shot in the dark but try magnesium supplements. Check the ingredients and make sure it doesn’t have added vitamin d. It’s fairly cheap so it’s worth a shot and you’ll know if it works within a few days. Best of luck
Thanks gurgle guts I will . I'm going to the chemist today. Have you tried them yourself?. Will keep you posted. X
Why can't it have the Vitamin D?
Vitamin D can give you constipation so it will counteract the effects of the magnesium
Good to know. Thank you.
Thanks for that gurgle guts. Have managed to buy some so am trying it!. Has it helped you?. Love your name by the wayX
Its helped me but I only use it when needed. On the bottle it will probably advise taking them daily. I would only use them for a couple of days or as long as it takes to sort you out. Any prolonged dose of anything isn't good for the system as your body gets used to it and it becomes less effective. Personally I take them for roughly 3 days and then take a break from them and its made the world of difference. Before taking them I was waking in the night with stabbing pains and was even struggling to tie my shoelaces etc. If they dont work for you, try a different brand. I use a brand called NU U. I also tried some very expensive ones and they weren't much good.
That's great advice gurgle guts.Thanks so much. I've taken one pill and it's definitely taken the pain away. It does say one a day and I agree re only take when needed . X
