Hi guys. I have had IBS as l9ng as can remember. Had cameras up and down over years. Very much effected by worry and stress. I also have hiatus hernia and reflux. So wake up 2 to 3 times a night in pain. Tried every tablet GP could offer. Blood tests. By the dozen However I have cured my constipation. Every morning I start with black coffee with half a squeezed lemon. I use regular coffee but stick to decaf for rest of day. Good luck

funny you should say about the lemon. I read very recently that a drink of lemon in water helps break down the stuff that causes wind. I am giving it a go. Don’t know if it’s working yet but it tastes nice.

I think it's a combination of the coffee and Lemon that works on constipation. Had coffee before and it's never made a difference. Good luck.

Ginger water with lemon is also good
