Pixie824 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm afraid I know absolutely nothing about IBS except the discomfort it causes. Yes, I realise 'discomfort' may be something of an understatement! Anyway, try things like herbal teas, it sounds like an increase of fluids may be needed and you don't want to be having too much caffeine. Certain herbal teas etc can help to settle the stomach; peppermint, fennel and ginger are all good. Hope you find some relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Cutt down on your total food intake, and eat porridge for breakfast; make it with 50/50 milk/water. I have had these sympoms, but I am ok now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogsneck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You should look up the specific carbohydrate diet. Ive found it a great help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Fruits and foods high in fiber such as cereal and oatmeal help a lot. A strong cup of coffee first thing in the morning followed by a session with a skip rope also work wonders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bloom Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 You could try more fruit, vegetables and water. These will help you become more regular. If you've noticed that you are bleeding, you may have piles. Go to the Docs just to make sure, blood from the rectum should be investigated. Milk of Magnesium is good to settle the tummy. Avoid spicy foods, they'll only aggravate things I know that you've posted before about stress and depression, this being the likely cause of your stomach complaint. Try things like gentle exercise, yoga and swimming. These will help greatly, as will various online resources like mood gym etc. Excellent advice. Avoid chewing gum, fizzy drinks and wear loose fitting clothing too. Some people find garlic irritates their IBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
