I’ve suffered with ibs for about 10 years now, mainly ibs-c. I take fybogel twice a day and more recently have had to add in 1 or 2 sachets of movical but nothing really seems to help.
The main issue I have is it is now causing me issues with my back, I’m 99% certain the ibs is the cause. I get back spasms and just a constant back pain that sometimes feels like a band is tight around me and any movement hurts. I could deal with the constipation if it wasn’t for the back issues.
I’ve been given mebeverine and peppermint oil capsules to relieve the ibs symptoms but as soon as I take them I get griping pains under my ribs & feel sick. Is this normal with these medications??
I also wonder if hormones are playing a part as it gets even worse from mid cycle onwards.
My gp surgery is useless frankly and I just give up asking for help now. I tired of being in pain and crying everyday over this.
Has anybody with ibs ever suffered these issues or can give me some ideas of miracle cures please.
