hi guys im new to the group im 34 and ive been suffering from ibs for many years. ive always been in and out of hospital because of it but was always told my pain was due to my ibs then id get packed with painkillers and sent home. ive recently come out of hospital again and was told the same thing. was looking for information about what types of food to avoid and what types of food should i be eatin? would be very greatful with any feedback thanks
Hi! 
Have you had colonoscopies and that?
For food options, try making a food diary and writing everything you have eaten that day and then cross or tick whatever has been good or bad for you. It really helps! I done it for about 2 months when it all first started and found that dairy makes me bad. It's always a good start with the food diary!
Have you been told/tested for parasites?
Hope you're okay!
upthe low FODMAP diet, its a lifesaver for many of us with IBS
You should also get tested for Coeliac Disease if you haven't already. I second the food diary idea! Don't eliminate foods though, until you're all done with testing... Good luck, Alison!
try to avoid, wheat, cabbage and onions, these were my triggers, doc prescribed Hyoscine Butylbromide 10 mg 4 times daily and Mebeverine 135mg 4 times daily, both 1/2 before food. they stop the cramps and wind, still get bloated and sometimes 4 motions before 10am but no pain, so i can live with it, have had it for years, can be heridity
