Mortifying IBS question

[OhEmGee25]

Id name change if I knew how...

I'm an IBS sufferer. I don't have "attacks" per se, I have the symptoms pretty much all the time. Tmi but has anyone experience of Colpermin? It's made my poo err, mentholly, minty and burns after :/

[marriednotdead]

I've never tried it and having read your experience, I think I'll pass!

The small print says you may get irritation around the anus so perhaps try a different medication? I sometimes use the Boots IBS Relief tablets which I think contain Mebeverine. Avoiding trigger foods seems to be my best option though.

It made me puke! I can't digest the capsules it seems. I would regurgitate them whole a couple of hours after talking them. I had more success with colofac or buscopan (both available on prescription). Have you done a food diary to see if any food triggers it off?

[OComeAllYeFaithBaby]

(Oh colofac is the brand name for mebeverine).

[BIWIshYouAMerryChristmas]

Oh yes - I suffered from that!

But my IBS is now under control. One of the unexpected (but very welcome) side effects of low carbing.

[OhEmGee25]

I use buscopan too and I take laxido every day. "Crap" isn't it

Colpermin didn?t stop me farting, but at least they smelt of mint.

Try peppermint tea with every meal instead. Not so minty fresh on the way out.

Colpermin made my stomach burn. I take Mebeverine modified release, so they release slowy through the day, now. I drink peppermint tea, take Buscopan if I need to and have peppermint oil capsules that I take if I am depserate.
