Folic Acid

Hello, I have a form of ibs which causes my stomach to bloat. I've tried taking folic acid and because of my ibs it's causing a lot of stomach pains and bloating. I wondered if anyone else has experienced this? I'm worried as I know folic acid is important when trying to conceive and throughout pregnancy.

I couldn't scroll past as I saw you have no replies. I haven't experienced this, but remember certain foods are high in folate so maybe concentrate on making sure you have lots in your diet if you can? This page has some tips on absorbing folic acid, maybe some of this will be helpful? I'd definitely recommend speaking to you GP though as you have the pre existing IBS.
