Re: please could you help IBS
My symptoms last for a months at a time sometimes. Bloating, nausea, pain. Orange juice and fruit are my main triggers.
I have had symptoms daily for 2 months at present . I do take meds for mine but they do not always help.

Re: please could you help IBS
Like the others I suffer with IBS and have flare ups that can last for a couple of days or weeks, senna will help you go and are very gentle and I was told by the hospital to take that if you cannot go, also Buscopan are good and you can buy those at the Supermarket now as well as Boots, again was given those in hospital, the other thing that can help soothe is a hot water bottle on your tummy.
Hope this helps a bit, it does stop me from sleeping if it is bad.

Re: please could you help IBS
There is always someone to support you on this site shipmate. I am not an expert but bland, light foods are a good idea when IBS is particularly bad. Also someone recommended those probiotic drinks to me, so I also have one of those daily.
Hope you are feeling better soon
