Help with ibs

Hi,

Went to the doctors about a month ago with symptoms of constipation and diarieha, nausea and gas. Got blood tests and stool sample taken and all came back normal.

The doctor thinks it's ibs and that I should remove dairy from diet and if that doesn't work try low fodmap diet which I'm going to try.

I just wondered if anyone has any other advice?

The gas and constipation I am suffering at the moment is making my life hell especially when I'm at work and is also now affecting my social life too.

It's got to the point where my colleagues at work are commenting and it's affecting their working environment as well as affecting me. The worrying it it is causing me also does not help matters either. I'm just at a loss at what to do. I've noticed in some forums that some people found relieve from taking magnesium citrate and wondering if this would help with the gas and the other symptoms I am experiencing?

Thanks

I tried peppermint oil capsules COLPERMIN as well as reducing dairy worked a lot for me

Symptoms totally managed now in the main

The same thing is happening to me and doctors dont know what's wrong.. mine has been going on since March. Iv cut out dairy but I'm still reacting to other foods. When I do eat dairy I get sick withing the hour..

I don't know how to help you but I wish I could

Try cutting out gassy foods such as broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts as well as following the dietary advice from your doctor.

IBS?
