Just diagnosed with ibs
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi, I’m a 16 year old female and I was diagnosed recently with ibs. I had been going through the diarrhea phase of it for a very long time, whenever I had a bm it was normal or it was dirrahea. Back in July I had to go to the hospital because I wasn’t able to have a bm for over a week. When I followed up with my doctor she did some imaging but then after told me I had ibs. I’m still in the constipation phase, I’m having bowel movements most days, but some days it’s very hard to go or I’m unable to go. She told me to take a senna tablet once a day, which most days seems to help me but other days it doesn’t. I also have constant bloating in my stomach which is really painful. What can I do to fix this for awhile?

Ooph that sounds painful. I have ibs c and have to take Laxido 2/3 times a week to make my bowel work properly, may be Senna isn't for you. You must get the right medication for you, everyone with ibs is different!

Hi you could try taking magnesium citrate supplement, say about 400 mg a day, magnesium draws water into the colon through osmosis makes it easier to go, there's also a laxative called lactulose what works pretty well, it works by osmosis as well.
