IBS REMEDY: CUT DOWN ACID FOODS/VITAMIN C

Hello family,

About two weeks ago, I had similar symptoms of IBS after taking a lemon with some oil juice. I suffered repeated abdominal pains and diarrhoea until just yesterday that I started feeling better. I never visited the hospital but I stopped taking my vitamin c (corvite). Now I feel better. My brother also had chest pains from the supplement.

I think it will be a great advice to cut down acidic foods which may increase the acidic level in your stomach (prevent/treat gastritis).

I'm better now, I know how it feels and Hope you all get well soon.

You may already have considered this and ruled it out but if not then it's worth thinking about whether it may be fruit rather than acid that disagreed with you. Fruit intolerance is surprisingly common.
