[quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally hear you. I’ve dealt with IBS for 30 years and it is no fun and impacts day to day living. Things that have helped: strictly monitor my fiber intake. FODMAP was not effective for me. With trial and error I’ve identified triggers and learned to work around them. Bran cereals are a huge trigger— apples cause constipation. If I eat a full salad I will have cramping and urgency the next day. Fiber capsules were a game changer for me. I take Metamucil 4 capsules each morning. This slowed down the frequent trips to the bathroom. Oddly enough, Citrucel did not work for me. IBgard and peppermint tablets. They Help with bloating, spasms and cramping. My PCP prescribed different antispasmodics over the years but they worked TOO well, IYKWIM. There are GE doctors who specialize in IBS and I hope they will help you too.[/quote]
