Hi,

Welcome to the site. I guess everyone has a busy weekend.

What kind of tips would you like to get exactly?

Hi there I was told no pips, skins or peel . I limit fibre and I’ve found gluton and dairy free has helped

As an IBS sufferer I found taking an antibiotic (for non IBS issues) caused more IBS problems as the antibiotic wiped out the flora in my gut - which is one of the main problems with IBS - we don't have the proper flora and bacteria to maintain a proper functioning of our gut. I'm not a doctor but I do find that to be an odd approach. Hopefully you don't have ramifications from the antibiotic.

I'm currently having tests for diverticular disease-can you tell me what your symptoms were?
