Hi, i have been told i probably have IBS if the ceoliac test comes ack as negative... Since going on holiday and whilst on holiday in July i have had awful urges anytime of the day of wanting to have a BM. Seemed to ease a little when i got back to UK However on & off urgent BM at work and fearing an accident in the car. (I even had to use a patient loo whcich was so embarrassing)

I have been prescribed peppermint oil and given the fodmap diet to eliminate.

I bought meberverine to take with the oil and also probiotics.

I have read on here that tumeric, fennel capsules are good but i dont want to overload....I just want it to stop... Since last Friday i have not been able to go to work due to diarrhea +++ Cant go out through fear of having to use the loo... I am also taking immodium but dont want to rely on this every day as it makes me constipated and i,m ending up with piles!

Interested in any other remedies...thankyou in advance

    I have IBS and I've cut out insoluble fibre I take enteric coated peppermint oil, and Turmeric 95% curcumin with piperine, Turmeric is extremely safe even at high doses this is what many studies say.

    You did the right thing getting away from coffee m, do you still drink tea I cut tea out and all dairy products to and I feel better. Cut out the Imoudiom they aren't good and I do believe they do nore harm than good.
