Fermentable
Oligosaccharides (fructans)
Disaccharides (lactose)
Monosaccharides (excess fructose)
Polyols (Sorbitol, Mannitol, Xylitol)
Basically a diet low in foods that produces excessive gases. Foods that don't have artificial colors or flavors. You should Google low fodmap diet and it'll tell you what to eat and what to avoid. This diet doesn't help ALL people who suffer from ibs but I think I read that it helps 80% of ibsers which isn't a bad percentage.

Google the words "Does apple cidar vinegar help reflux acid" and read all about this natural remedy that works well on a lot of people for reflux acid. My mom threw away her pills and she said the apple cidar vinegar worked for her. Research it yourself and see what you think.
As far as IBS goes, have you ruled out all the foods that cause you more trips to the bathroom for number two. I had to do that because I was spending more time on the bathroom then I was off because of constant bowel movements. There is a book called "Eating for IBS" by Heather Van Vorous. This woman had really bad IBS and she wrote the book after she spent a long time figuring out what she should eat that would make her life more bareable. Google the name of the book and it will bring you to her web site. Hope this helps everyone out there to do some research to find out if this will help them or not.

Codeine Phosphate are stronger than co codamol you could give them a go.
Are you sure you are taking maximum amount of buscopan? I take 8 a day.
Also you can take Ibuprofen as well as your other painkillers. I only found this out through a GP who spoke to me when I was in terrible pain with a gallstone.
Omeprazole works for acid in the stomach. One GP I saw was very quick to pick up on this and prescribed me some.
Hope some of this helps you.
Keep me posted
Lots of love and take care

I like you found Buscopan was useless. I actually take vitamin c and zinc daily which helps to certain extent. Pure orange juice daily is the answer for me. You know the capri-sun drinks. It takes a while but it helps but
try radoxen vit c and zinc..it's worth a try.

You don't seem to have anything to lose by trying them. Boots and health food stores sell them. If you do just remember to wash down with a pint of water. Xx
