Hoping this might help......

I have had IBS for decades. Been through all the diets. Tried FODMAP but being vegetarian as well made it impossible to follow.

I have endured endless debilitating cycles of painful stomach cramps, constipation and diarrhoea. For a year i did get some relief from a cinnamon based tablet, Dida. Do try that if you haven't already.

I kept away from wheat for awhile and it seemed to help...but not for long.

My GP seemed bored when i went to see him recently after a period of crippling cramps. Usual answer...you've got IBS...nothing i can do.

In desperation i went back to taking Fibrogel twice a day. It worked on and off in the past. This time it worked very well for a few weeks. The extra fibre made a real difference. Everytime i had a normal bowel movement i wanted to run out in the street and tell everyone...!

It hasn't been a total success...too much to hope for. But it has lessened the wild swings between the usual symptoms. This week has not been good, but at least i know it will improve to some extent.

So....in case it might help you....try increasing your fibre. I am not a big eater so i think that might be part of my problem. The Fibrogel corrects that. I take two sachets each day.

Fingers crossed for you......

Do you still use cinnamon?
