mebeverine tables anyone?

Try enteric peppermint capsules they could have a positive effect, I took Mebeverine, did nothing for me, took Proton Pumps, did nothing, now I make milk kefir, a strong probiotic and take enteric peppermint capsules.

Although some people report postive results from aloe vera it actually isn't recommended by doctors as an effective treatment for IBS. 

Might be worth looking at the NICE guidance.

I suffer from IBS D and like you only recently been diagnosed. I get very little pain but i am on mebeverine because they have the effect of clogging you up so it helps for the D side of things. But i do notice the pain totally dissapears when i take them.

I first started on 2 a day and was ok. But the next day i took 3 doses (wanted to keep things settled) and that night the D came back and had unbearable nausea. I took another dose the next morning and the same again. Especially after eating.

Went to the doctors and got some peppermint capsuals which did nothing for me at all (they are known for helping IBS C more than IBS D) so came home and took just one Mebeverine. I now only take the Mebeverine when i have a flare up (my IBS is anxiety related) so i get fast acting relief and only have to take one so not to overdose my system.

In short a lot of people with IBS D find they help. But if you have IBS C i wouldnt reccomend taking it as it is known for causing constipation so may make your symptoms worse. Go back to the doctor and ask for some colpermin, they are peppermint capsuals but still have an anti spasmostic reaction.

Hi Nichola. perhaps read the patient info leaflet in box & make a judgement then , or talk to the pharmacist explaining you have ibs-c & don't want to risk becoming more constipated - is this med ok for your condition? then depending on info gleaned from above you can decide whether to try it. I have also heard of buscopan (another ibs treatment/anti spasmodic) which you could read the leaflet in box in chemist or look up on line - another med many ibs sufferers get on with. whatever you do, i hope you find some relief & feel better soon. do let us know how you get on on here. xx

mebeverane are an anti-spasmodic. there is no guarantee that anything will work, but its worth a try. i find that buscopan do more for me, but that just me. as someone has already said, if you have IBS you shouldnt be taking aloe vera. 

if you are mainly constipated try increasing the amount of water you drink and increasing soluble fibre.

Great thanks for the advice

I have get anixity as well and that doesnt help IBS, I have been given Spazmanol and that works.

I was on mebeverine, never helped, May have made me worse that was a few years ago, I now take enteric coated peppermint capsules, Turmeric 95% curriculum with pipeline capsules, and cut right down on fibre, I eat probiotic bio yogurt and milk Kefir, and now much less problems.
