it will take time for your constipation to ease, i have so much trouble with my digestive system, even when eating a balanced diet, and when i am stressed or anxious it is so much worst, i get very constipated, and bloated but i really do find the fibre-gels help so much, i would def reccomend you try them, especially with your lack of fibre, they bulk up and soften the stool making it easier to pass but they don't work straight away, it can take a day or 2 and you need to continue using them daily to keep you going regurally, but this ok as they are not like a laxative. If you can get the bloating etc under control maybe you will gain back a bit of an appetite.
other things that you could try, while your appetite is not great, have grannary toast instead of white, replace the custard creams with fibre biscuits (you can get from holland and barratt) and drink plenty of water or squash/fruitjuice. If it gets really bad, you could ask you gp for some glycerin suppositories they work very quickly.

Thanks,
I have just been to buy some of those suppositories its more of the trapped wind plus acid / IBS just the bloated was going down had a cup of tea now and hey guess what am back to bein bloated don't no if its the tea / the IBS ir the fact that am just so full of wind anything I eat I feel like this just right under my ribs which kicks off my anxiety :( and totally freaks me out I keep thinking something serious is wrong !! Staying away from cups of tea for a while as I think that is the culprit as this happened this morning after I had tea :( don't learn :( and the fact I chew a lot of chewing gum which am trying to stay away from ithe toast I have is brown high fibre bread and I grab biscuits always after everything I eat n drink as I get like a bad sugar craving even though there is fruit in front of me am gonna try again tomorrow and instead of grabbing a biscuit try fruit but as I said everythin I eat am full straigh away as am not used to eating am on omeprazole plus gavison aswell but not took gaviscon for a while :(

slow down a touch love, try not to worry as much, mother nature will deliver in time, getting anxious and stressed wont help the situation, if you get no relief soon then nip to the chemist and speak to the pharmacist or book a drs appointment, try not to let it worry you. Also try and look at your diet and do yourself a positive favour and choose one mega healthy food per day and build from there, hugs and love x

IBS doc only told me about 2weeks ago and i hate it already :weep: i just can't cope am always in pain / spasms / bloated etc and when am bloated and this fullness feeling i get bad watery mouth which doctor said is just acid as when i do go to eat am eating on top of wind or even not eating my stomach fills up with wind and pushes the acid up :weep: which makes me panic i just cant cope with it and now i keep getting the trembles :(

buscopan for IBS, basically your stress is making it like it is, the key is relaxation and eating properly, try to relax hun, all your symptoms are following on one from the other, take a deep breath and tell yourself that you can overcome all this, you can cope with it, you will wake up every morning for years and years and at some point when you have a handle on everything you will feel brilliant, trust me you will, but right now concentrate on distracting yourself away from all things medical and put yourself somewhere in your mind that is cool and comforting and loving, or listen to some music, you are loved, everyone wants you to feel well x
