I tried mintec - didn't do anything for me! The inner health tablets really worked for me, maybe because I had the crap part of it, not the constipation?
Oh and pregnancy basically got rid of it for me - so I'm just waiting for it to come back with a vengeance!
I was diagnosed with IBS about 2mths ago. The doctor put me straight onto a script for Colofac. I haven't been as bad since being on that. Do have my moments, but no where near like I was.
Arimeh- I went to the chemist today, and the lady that served me said her daughter takes the Inner Health Plus IBS and it works for her, so I got some of that to give it a go until I can get to the Drs.
Astrolady- I would love not to have it as bad as I get it at the moment.
I have IBS and find that it is anxiety and lack of sleep that triggers mine.
Back in the days where I had IBS attacks everyday I took Inner Helath Plus everyday which I think did help and I took Mintec on bad flare up days and it worked wonders. Another thing that really helped with the pain was Aloe Vera Juice, you take a tablespoon 3 times a day and it really settled my guts down.
I saw a Naturopath for mine. She made some tonics specific for me, plus some probiotics. I find with me that I really should avoid a lot of wheat, some is ok. Actually I am so much better of I low carb. It is funny that cream with I am eating a normal diet is a major trigger, but when I low carb I am fine with it.
Widdly- I found the Immodium today settled my belly. I still have a little bit of a sore belly, but no where near as bad as this morning.
Astrid- That's strange about the low carb making it better.
Nettie- I don't drink coffee, and not very often I drink tea. I am a bit fatter than I used to be, but have also been having hot flushes, mood swings, tired, no libido, but after reading another thread, I think that may have something to do with hormones.
