With IBS I found that eating a high fibre diet works, also peppermint tea helps XXX
Ibs is part off fibromyalgia Lucy. When it kicks off & if yr hungry eat a pittia toasted. with egg on, just eat small meals untill it passes.. fish is good to eat tinned or fresh. Keep off apples they open ur bowls so ur running 2 the toilet a lot more banners are good to eat, Google what u can, & can't eat. Am off 2 rest now lass.xxxx
I can't take prebiotic. Too strong maybe because had Bowel cancer 20 years ago! Just had the absolute worst ever Fibro flare in over 25 years. Followed by bad IBS for 3 weeks? Still not eating properly and lost sense of taste. Have a thing for black grapes funnily! Maybe cos can't enjoy glass of wine? I love roast veg but can't overdo fruit and veg as makes IBS worse. We're all different though.
