Ibs bloating and spasm

7 Replies

Does anyone get the tightness/spasms and bloating as soon as they swallow food. Usually starts at lunch time not breakfast

Avoid all fizzy drinks and alcohol, also eat small mouthfuls and chew food well. This reduces the amount of gas going into the stomach, which causes bloating. I still get the spasms approximately 30 minutes after eating.

Mine is as soon as I eat but I am a bit stressed

I take feverfew capsules from holland and Barret for IBS I really recommend them

I am finding Mebeverine (which I found on this forum, eternal thanks!) to be helpful 95% of the time. My GP has now also prescribed Mintec capsules, but at this point it's too soon to know if they help. Mebeverine, if taken religiously 20 mins before eating, are a real life saver for me.

Some days just chewing a first bite of food sets me off

Yep, sometimes I’m like it before I’ve even eaten!! Can you take mebeverine when pregnant? I’m ttc but I take buscopan and I won’t be able to take it if I ever fall pregnant
