I have had IBS-Constipation for a year.

Hi. I'm Dottie. I would like to talk with others who are having difficulties and share their difficulties.

I have had IBS C and alternating IBS for three years.  However, it has improved with buscopan, nurofen and occasionally codeine or Imodium for diarrhoea. Trying to keep control of stress levels also helps.  I have been having large periods of remission.  My last flare up was in November and the one before was during the summer when I had constipation and severe diarrhoea.  Other than that, everything is fine. I don’t have any food problems caused by IBS. I only avoid foods that are too fatty or spicy because I have acid reflux too.

What difficulties do you have?  Do you take antispasmodics and have you any food triggers?  If you do try a food diary or the Low Fodmap diet.

You are suffering Constipation, I would advise you talk with your GP. There are medications that can help you.

However there are potions you can get at a chemist you may try under advisement from a chemist.

I always try something that is not to strong. Figs are good to loosen constipation, or senokot they are also a good choice.
