Q: Ibs

Doctors think I might have irritable bowel syndrome. I'm on movicol, but I hate talking it. I do eat a lot of fruit and veg. Is there any other things that are good for ibs? I don't have diarrhoea, but bad constipation. My bowels wouldn't move for about a week, and 4 days. I did have a flexible sigmoidoscopy to rule out any diseases, and all was normal!



Thanks in advance!

I used to have that trouble after having my galbladder out. I am not a Dr. But I tried that equate anti-diahreahl from wal-mart and it helped me. But remmber what works for one may not work for others. Now that I use a lot of pain meds I have the opposie problems but I am starting to use a colon cleanser which seems to help and have changed my diet and am using more fiber. You mean that they did not run any test on you,you might seek a second opinion also and some people have problems if they are under a lot of stress.
Good luck!

I personally have severe ibs (diarrhea, though) my doctor said to take fiber!!! I take 4-5 capsules of fiber in the morning and evening and it actually works! Good luck.

Thanks for replying! I'm told that there is no tests to find out if it's ibs.
