IBS and the Pill?

[Jasmine567]

Does Ibs affect the pill? I take my pill at night around 8pm few hours before bed. I get ibs - d in the morning (not watery stools - about 3 times sort of loose stools). Would this affect my pill?

I was informed that if I vomited within 2 hours of taking the pill then it probably has not be absorbed. Not sure about bowels movements-see link below about the pill and diarrhoea

Hope this helps

Yeah having diarrhea can make the pill less effective if you have diarrhea often then I'd suggest changing contraception as that will be more effective for you

I used to take minulet many years ago but when I stopped my ibs pain more than halved. I used to be crawling around the floor in agony. I still get very painful episodes but nothing like it was then, I was actually wondering if I was about to give birth!
