Are these IBS-C symptons?
Posted , 6 users are following.
For 3 years now I have had the following symptons that have only gotten worse over time;
Terrible stomach cramping from morning to night without a break and worse straight after eating a meal
Bloating which grows during the day
X-Ray showed sever constipation recently but had pain before this so isn't the reason for the pain
I have a BM twice or three times a week
Had every check possible with the NHS to no avail and I am at the end of my tether, someone please offer some advice what to do
No codine or pain killer works
Buscopan doesn't work for the camping as it is so severe

I have seen so many doctors over 3 years without a diagnosis, I'm thinking of going on fodmap programme and probiotics
I just have constipation and no diorrea, but checking other forums it is possible to have IBS-C with chronic constipation
The pain gets worse after a BM

If you are getting pain after eating, a particular food maybe irritating you. Fodmap is worth a try to see if you can identify the food trigger. Probiotics may also help but they will need to be taken for at least a month.

Codeine will make you constipated. Try just paracetamol on it's own.

When I tried Paracetemol for my IBS when it was in full flare up, it really didn't do much for the pain. I don't find it strong enough for substantial cramps. Nurofen was much better.

I was told not to take nurofen. Are you on mesalazine? It's an anti inflammatory for the colon.
