Any IBS relief/advice?

Hi all, I’m 8+3 and while I’ve heard IBS can settle in pregnancy, mine is worse than ever!
I know I can’t take Imodium in pregnancy, does anyone know of any sort of relief that is allowed because I’m struggling to function like a human at the moment Blush

Do you know what triggers it pre-pregnancy?

I struggled in the early weeks. I found a combination of a restricted white diet due to MS, very small meals and avoidance of my triggers helped, along with pregnancare because of the iron content. By 12 weeks I was managing better.

Im 20 weeks now and am complaining of constipation... which I NEVER thought would happen!

I have my concrete triggers which I avoid anyway, but also the ‘wildcards’ that I can never seem to track! Also stress/anxiety which I have in bucketloads at the moment...

Very small meals is a good shout, thanks. Bring on the constipation Grin
