So today I rang my doctor asking him for ibs tablets and he suggested peppermint tea but did then say that I could go back on citalopram and now have them ready to take. What's would u guys suggest. I remember them helping me greatly. Also got some pro biotics from chemist who said to me that they would help me. Anyone else had them?

Hi there,

Try the probiotics - they seem to work for me. If your GP suggests Citalopram, give it a go. Not only may it help your anxiety, there's some evidence SSRIs can ease some IBS symptoms.

Finally, drink plenty of water. Easy to overlook but crucial.

Take care
