Hi
So to cut a long story short I have recently had a bout of gastritis after taking naproxen for a shoulder complaint. I only took 2 tablets but it was enough to cause damage to my stomach lining. Anyway, this has triggered anxiety which is the worst thing I have ever dealt with in my life. I have been struggling with it now for 3 weeks and have lost a lot of weight. Anyway, my doctors believe that I now have IBS as my stomach should of technically healed by now but I was still experiencing tummy issues and loose bowels. I have been prescribed mebeverine to help with this and it seems to have helped my tummy to calm down abit. I have had to do a stool sample and am waiting results. What I’m wondering is. Has anyone else ever been on this medication before. How long should I take it? ( until the symptoms go? ) or ( until I’ve finished the whole prescription? ) is it normal to feel a little sick between taking them? Or do you think that is just another symptom of my anxiety. Also if anyone has any tips on the type of diet I should be following now that’ll be great. I have no appetite anyway, but think it’s important that I get back to eating normal again soon. Many thanks

Or you can take it everyday to prevent cramps from happening.

I doubt it'll make any difference then.

Hi I was given mebeverine once as I recollect it made me worse or didn't help, I all so got peppermint capsules the enteric coated one's and seemed to help with stomach and intestinal cramps etc, check out the fodmap diet online tells you foods likely to be problematic, get some strong probiotics the full spectrum one's, Kefir is a strong probiotic drink, have you had a H-pylori test? or coeliac test?.

All of this from two tablets. They’ve triggered something that’s for sure. This is so unlike me to be this poorly.
I really hope I can get this anxiety under control without meds. But I think as long as I’m experiencing symptoms and pain that’s not going to happen.

If Mebeverine is helping you and it is not causing you side effects, then finish the course. If you are feeling sick between doses, it may be they are disagreeing with you. To test this out, stop taking them for a few days and if the nausea goes away, then it is likely, you are reacting to the medication. If this is the case, discontinue it and ask your doctor for something else. I was prescribed Mebeverine and got side effects minutes after swalkowing the first tablet. It felt like swallowing a stone and it gave me severe indigestion, nausea and it made my contipation much worse. I tried them twice and got the same effects so I threw them out after four days and tried Buscopan instead which was much bwtter. Mebeverine is known for bad effects and lot of people can't tolerate it. However, IBS and anxiety can cause nausea too. IBS and anxiety are strongly linked.
Try the Fodmap diet or a food diary.
