Any suggestions?

Hi All..

I have been diagnosed with IBS. I pass sind ALOT. Is there something I can take to stop this??

Hi you could try peppermint oil capsules before food and try to avoid gas producing foods such as beans , pulses , nuts and cruciferous vegetables . Lactose can also cause excess wind too ! X

Take a look at our website here theibsnetwork.org/bloating/gas all our information theibsnetwork.org/ is provided my medical professionals that specialise in IBS

Stop eating nuts and pulses, including baked beans, as well as most green vegetables (cauliflower). Do not drink alcohol or fizzy drinks, and make sure you eat small mouthfuls of food and chew extremely well before swallowing. Basically, the less wind that goes in the less wind comes out. Good luck, keep well and stay safe.

I’ve recently been prescribed Mebeverine by my GP and have found that enormous help for bloating, pain and wind. You can buy it from Boots too.

I cut out lactose and it has done the trick.

So did I at first, now I don't go near dairy at all

Has it made a difference for you?

[Shaz8465 in reply to Hidden]

Absolutely. I haven't had flare ups for years until I had Moderna booster. I was diagnosed at 26 and I am now 56. My son developed IBS after severe stress at work. His GP sent him to.a dietician who put him on the FODMAP programme. He also avoids Dairy. Only flares up when he is stressed now.

I don't get many flare ups but I have been thinking of avoiding dairy... Thank you for replying, maybe I'll cut it out completely.
