Wondering if anyone has tried olive oil for ibs c . Seemingly it can help give relief. Think I will give it a go , might be better than laxatives, and gentler on digestive tract . Here’s hoping 😀

Sorry, I can't help with your question because I am more the other way but I would be interested in how you get on.
Yes, I have 2 tbsp of olive oil every day, usually on salads and I eat a thin slice of papaya (paw paw) if I get IBSc, it contains a very effective digestive enzyme so don't eat a lot! It seems to work for me, hope you find some relief.
Hi Slowdown. Thank you for your reply. I am happy it works for you . Do you get cramps with it ? It sure is a lot healthier than laxatives. I have heard papaya is good for digestion so will try this as well. Do you have it after a meal ?
No real cramps, just a few twinges to let me know something's on the move. I don't eat papaya every day, probably twice/three times a week as a maintenance dose, and usually after a light lunch Good luck!
Thank you for your help slowdown, much appreciated. God bless you.
hi my father was taking olive oil for constipation,and he banged loads of weight on. I am on magnaspartate powder 243mg once a day, although I have an ilestomy it makes my bag really runny tmi. Perhaps you could try this also magnesium is essential for the human body. Jo
