Irritable Bowel Syndrome

[e-rider]

I am not going to be drawn into an argument, I am not a doctor. However I saw my doctor on Tuesday and he has taken me off Fibogel. I was on the Fybogel Mebeverine with granules. He has put me on Mebeverine tablets and no fibre. This would seem to bear out @e-rider's comment above. Wether that is down to cost cutting as much as therapeutic reasons I will never know. Things are still going much better for me since I stopped using Lucozade sports drink powders when cycling. I find Robinson's Barley Water works well.

I tried Mebeverine a while back and it did nothing at all for my symptoms.
If you are suffering from IBS I'd cut out all 'energy' drinks, and all squash type drinks too. NUUN is the only sports drink that I can tolerate so perhaps give that a go as it's very easy on the stomach - sorbitol is the only sweetener in it.

I was diagnosed with IBS last year after a VERY stressful time at work. It's better controlled now and I do have medication for when it gets bad. Stress is my trigger.

Sometimes suffer with IBS, can be terrible, I recently found that taking either Aloa Juice or the tablet form helps.
