    My treatment of an IBS bout is magnesium tablets , plenty of water . I try to eat only small meals and eat slow. Colfolac tablets seem to work as it relaxes the bowel and stops the bowel cramp and noises. I also cut out wheat, pasta bread etc avoid too much fruit and veg all the healthy things seem to agrevate it.I've had it for over 20 years and don't bother with doctors or hospital no more as I know it's just IBS even though it's crap when your going through it. Hope you find your own way of dealing with it. I

    If you have had all the relevant tests and all I can suggest is to try different diets that many seem to be useful.

    How old are you Gareth ?

    You mention frequent urination, If you were older I would have suggested you talk to your GP.

    Men can have problems when they pee as they get older, however at your age you should be ok

    I am a Pensioner and go through problems when I rise up from a seat or if I go for a walk. I have been given medications and the medications seem to be controlling frequency. I generally go about ten times a day and the amounts are small 

    Personally I do not know what to suggest,

    Hi gareth47391 smile It looks like you're sufferring from IBS. Have you heard that it may be because of some changes in gut flora? If you have more bad badcteria than good bacteria in your gut, you are prone to IBS. Perhaps, eating foods rich in probiotics or taking some probiotic supplements will help your situation. I hope you'd get well smile
