I used to have IBS - for around 13 years - then had perforated bowel and stoma fitted 6 months ish ago - this was sudden and life threatening -for those with these kinds of issues for years advice from me would be to get a ct scan to find out if you have diverticulitis - that's what must have caused my IBS for years - lots on google and you tube re diverticula becoming diverticulitis.....

Hi there 😄 I have IBS and diverticulitis together among other illnesses... and for anyone who is suffering from blockages or constipation try Laxido orange flavour sachets, they are brilliant stool softeners and work all the time with me 😉 and taste better than the rest...and just to let you know Cristinita I know what you are going through. Wish you well with your health... God bless 🙏 Stephen.
