Hi all
I have been diagnosed with IBS-D recently and have been prescribed Buscopan and recommended to follow the low FODMAP diet. I have been doing so for two weeks now and am seeing no improvement, in fact it's got worse! To be fair I am extremely stressed in my job and I know that sets it off so that's probably a major factor.
Anyway, I have been umming and aahing about taking a probiotic to 'reset' my gut, in the vain hope that this will help as I'm starting to feel desperate and it's taking over my life. Does anyone have any experience of taking a probiotic for this, who can give me some hope that things will improve? I really don't know what else to do, save being signed off from work to try and tackle my stress (which the doctor offered to do), which I think would actually only make me more stressed! Also, I've heard from lots of people that the probiotics made their symptoms worse before they got better. I just need some honest, experienced advice so I know what to expect.
Thanks!
