    what helped me is L Glutamin. i take 3x10g in cold water per day. When i have flare ups i use Buscopan for bed, because without it i cant sleep because of cramps. I do also take a probiotic daily. I dont eat gluten and dairy and also no vegetables. I make the Fodmap diet. I had 4 days no pain but than i took a Vitamin C pills and dang it started a flare up! Pain for two days. IBS i like having an Kinder Surprise Egg. You dont know what you will get when eat this and that!
