Is there anything I can do

[Maria_1982]

I've had IBS for over 38 years. Over the past year my symptoms have got progressively worse. I'm already referred back to the hospital and waiting for an appointment. I'm constantly farting and burping and in constant pain. The medication I'm currently on isn't working as I take 2 lots of omprezamol and my bowel movement got that bad that I've ended up with haemorrhoids and everytime I go to the toilet I have a slight bleed. I'm nor sure if there's anything I can do in the meantime

Do you know if you have h pylori?

Yes they took stool samples and no bacterial infection

Hello Maria - sorry your IBS is getting worse. I have recently purchased some silicolgel which seems to have calmed things quite a bit for me, I also take Mebeverine which does help as well.

Maybe start a food diary to see if you can pin point which foods are causing the problems.

It is very difficult to get enough fibre without upsetting the IBS, but you still need enough - maybe checkout the low fodmap diet, I do not suffer with constipation so I can not adise on this

Hope you feel better soon

Best wishes
