What to do ?

[Casand11]

I really thought I'd started managing my IBS c by taking laxido twice a week I had started to go to the loo regularly and with little discomfort. I then had a few episodes of once weekly stomach cramps and a " big clear out" but felt fine again the following day and usually for the rest of the week, able to eat and drink most things without a problem. Then last week had three days of bad cramps and lots of visits to the loo,also feeling quite nauseous.two days of feeling absolutely fine and then today cramps again - all day and straining to pass anything. Feeling fed up now of trying to find what the triggers are nothing seems to be a common cause - anyone else out there experienced this? I'm left wondering what I can and can't eat. Such a frustrating situation 😫

maybe take the laxido every day. That’s what I do. It’s very gentle and may help keep you regular.

Thank you for your reply,I have tried taking 1 sachet every night and found I was going too much so had cut it down to about twice a week. I havent suffered with stomach pains and constipation for a while though and can't work out what has triggered it. I can't eat a lot of fruit without getting stomach ache and have tried all the fibre remedies suggested,drinking lots of water etc. My stomach feels tender on the left almost as if my colon is stretched 🤷‍♀️ I'll give the laxido another go as at least as you say it's fairly gentle!
