Hi Gracie. I’m like you had stomach ache for a couple of weeks now almost non stop with my IBS. I’ve suffered it for some 50 years. Stress I think is my cause. I am taking painkillers and Buscopan every four hours and a hot water bottle helps too. I know you probably don’t feel like it but a short walk might help or a bit of company. A chat with a friend to take your mind off it. Sending you hugs . Keep in touch if you would like. xxx

Thankyou for your kind reply.I will try Buscopan and get out and about much more.I don’t think anxiety helps.

Gaviscon also helps after eating. I take the liquid one. Paracetamol and buscopan too. I have IBSC.

I use an acupressure pen which is battery operated. It feels like a mild electric shock which often helps various symptoms. I also use all the other remedies as well but the pen really works well for tummy pain etc;

How long before a meal are you taking it ? Ideally 20 mins.

Try Colpamin as an alternative which can be purchased from.most chemists.

Hope you find a happy medium soon, nothing worse than the constant stomach upset xx

Wishing u good luck xx

I thought colofac was the alternative name for mebeverine. Colpamin is what i thought to be a brand name for peppermint oil.

Buscapan may help with the spasms. Good luck

Hi I take a digestive enzyme from a company called Solgar (available at Holland & Barrett) whenever I eat a meal & it really does the trick. If I have the typical IBS pain in the right side I take Buscopan or Senocalm too. Good old exercise does help. 😀

Hi Gracie i have found digestive enzymes taken at the 2 main meals really helps along with the colofac. Also wild oregano oil capsule helps to.
