Has anyone used vitamins for IBS?

[Plantmum2047]

The bloating, the constipation, the diarrhoea, the cramps, its all making me feel really uncomfortable. Never taken vitamins apart from a multivitamin sporadically, has anyone taken vitamins for IBS and it helped? Which one did you take? There's so many out there!

Self-diagnosed or legitimately diagnosed? If you're suffering that much you need medical input.

Clarifying because self-diagnosis / assumption is dangerous but common.

Definitely get checked out at the doctors to rule out everything else but after doing that - probiotics and high potency fish oil can both be helpful.

I have IBS and on advice of docs I take a strong multivitamin and a decent probiotic in the morning, and a multimineral and omega supplement at night. I've also started taking glutamine which is great for healing the gut in IBS sufferers. These all make a world of difference, partly because IBS can cause serious malabsorption of vits and minerals that can play absolute havoc with your health.
