Dealing with IBS C

4 replies

MrsDoubtfire1 · 14/08/2025 09:39

Is anyone else here suffering with IBS C? For the last month my system seems to be more sensitive than normal. I have started getting constipated for about 5 days and then something I eat will trigger a night of loo tripping for a good clear out. I have tried kiwi fruit to regulate but it made it worse in the end. Any advice?

Have you tried psyllium husk or metamucil? I have IBS-mixed and these were suggested to me by my gastroenterologist.
