IBS? And Spinal Cord Injury Hi, new here ... I have some SC damage and am suffering from the following; chronic constipation, bloating, belching 1 hr plus after eating, fatigue etc ... no diagnosis and on esomeprosole (for possible ulcer) .... drink peppermint tea to let trapped wind out ... last night took buscopan for first time during a cute episode and all symptoms ended like magic! Does this mean I have IBS? Would love to know and have a way of getting relief. The SCI means I have reduced sensation in guts and don’t feel nausea

Sorry to hear about your health problems. This is a very specific medical question also in relation to your injury which may be impacting your digestive system, so it is best to discuss it with your medical team.

That's great that it worked so well for you, it never really helped me noticably at all when I took Buscopan, so whether or not it's IBS you've got, it sounds like Buscopan might be a useful remedy for you.
