Ibs help??

Digestive health
1

Hello. I'm a 29 year old girl. Iv only just been diagnosed with ibs and been in and out of work for the past couple of months. Recently Iv been getting more pain for longer periods at a time, I do have medication ( colpermim) but they only helps for a short period. I don't know what to do about work or my life, my boyfriend just keeps saying that I'm allergic to work ( which btw, love the job I have) and my boss just doesn't understand what ibs is ( even after I gave him a leaflet that that doctor gave me) anyone got any advice??

Thank you

Your IBS may be in flare up because of work stress.  Maybe a change of job would be better.  Try Buscopan and Nurofen for pain; that works for me.  Have you tried a foid diary to see if a food is causing you trouble?  Have you heard of the Low Fodmap diet.
