Is it ibs

[Vtransam83]

Good morning to all. A background of my story, been suffering from stomach aches since i was a kid as lil as 6 yrs old im 38 now and still have these problems. About a year ago it started getting worse. Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy everything was normal. Sometimes lose stools sometimes normal its on and off. Now i dont know what to do tried probiotics to slippery elm and nothing. Dont know what else to do.

I'm afraid there isn't an easy answer, everyone is different. But you could have a look at the IBS Network website, see link below:

theibsnetwork.org/

There is quite a lot of information on there and if you want more you could always become a member, the cost for a year is £24 for online membership.

If you have any more specific questions, just post again and we will try to help if we can.

Hello sorry to hear you have been having issues. How long have you been taken probiotics? I would suggest at least 3 months before you will see some good results. I would also recommend prebiotic in a form of rout powder too

I always get stomach aches- you have to start eliminating food, that’s how I survive. If you try insulan powder- it’s a route powder, I take that along with probiotics. I also take buscopen. All seems to help with pain; I still do get bloated x
