Over 40 years of IBS

1 Reply

Hi, I know how you feel! Suffered for 40 years, and I have tried everything! Not so bad now as I have worked out my triggers, and what not to do. Just had a flare up today, first for awhile. On Colpermin at the moment, always my first line of attack. I ate a whole sweet potato last night, silly me! I love them, and usually its OK. Terrbile cramp and wind at 2am.

Hi there I too have been suffering for around 25 years and it has had such a big effect on my life I ended up in therapy as I was scared to go out ..

for the first time I decided to go and see a dietitian and for the last week I have been in the FODMAP DIET all I can say is please please give it a try, I cannot believe how stable my tummy is right now and I am feeling so much more positive..

My poos are unrecognisable (tmi) I urge you to give it a try .. lots of love x
