IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) Help please?

I have had IBS since i was about 6 which is really early but it was never really bad, it was easy to live with. I've actually been having no problems for the past two years and suddenly its flared back up and i am in quite a lot of pain, hence why i am writing this in the morning of a college day. I do take Mebeverine now but it doesen't do anything and im going to see the doctor (again!). Any help or stuff i could do to stop it

I have that to aswell as lots of other problems lol...even having an endoscopy/colonoscopy on monday...

Anyway im not ssure wat Mebeverine is, but i take a milk prodcut called Yakult which is specially cultured with bacteria...i have that every day and that reduces the pain and allows me to eat semi normally. Also i find relieveing my bowels so to speak/crapping lol seems to reduce the pressure and some of the pain. Not sure theres muuch else you can do, it sucks and i rlly feel for you cause i know how bad it is.

EDIT:Take what Athene said with a pinch of salt...i see a gastroentoroligist, and he said that its not whether u have enough not enough so much with IBS of fibre, its keeping it regular, if u suddenly go from high to low, low to high etc it causes problems, so keep your diet really constant

I am Winry Christian and I had IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). IBS caused me symptoms such as cramping, bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, and gas. I suffered to the extreme of IBS. I experienced it during high school and had no clue what to do. My symptoms kept on for three years.

It was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and stressful. I tried using a colon cleanse product. It solved all my problems without going on a diet. I ate whatever I wanted and didn't experience any of my symptoms again. No forgetting milk products or drink only liquids for three days straight. I was cured of IBS.

The colon cleanse product I used is 30 day free trial for a full month. Didn't have to pay for the product or shipping and handling. It was shipped free and the product was free. Kind of relief I needed on IBS and really on cash.

Hope this helps.

Ask yor doctor about an exclusion diet or allergy tests to see if certain foods make it worse. Many people with so-called IBS really have allergies to certain foods - most often gluten, dairy, egg or soya. These allergies can flare up or subside so it is hard to tell.

The other new thing with IBS is to reduce dietary fibre rather than increase it. Many doctors are out of date and tell you the opposite.

I had a bf that had that once, he used to use heating pads, he said that made it feel better. What set him off the worst was dairy products. His doc told him stay away from those and eat a lot of red meat.

If you don't have a heating pad maybe try soaking in a really hot bath or something.
