Long term Fybogel use

[Moss2008]

Hi everyone, this is my first post on this group. I've been an IBS sufferer now for 5 years. A big part of my IBS is constipation and I tend to have bowel leakage which can be really stressful at times. I'm just wondering about something and hope someone here can help advise me.

I need to take Fyobgel quite a lot to help manage my symptoms and just wondered if it was safe to take Fybogel long term? I've been taking Fybogel almost daily for the last 6 months. Prior to this I've been taking all sorts of different products including Silicol Gel, Imodium and other laxatives but Fybogel seems to work quite well with me. Does anyone else need to take Fybogel on a daily basis like me? If so have you had any side effects taking it all of the time? The reason for asking is I have read lots of stuff online, quite contradictory at times about taking this long term.

Any help and advice on this would be great thanks 👍
