I have so many digestive issues and suffer with constant blaoting, bad gas and diarrhea alot of the time, recently I've been getting terrible bloating and sharp left sided pain that lasts for hours.
I've had lots of investigation colonoscopy,blood tests stool samples etc and they say its just ibs.
I struggle with incontinence and urgency and it's ruining my life and has made me quite anxious and feeling rather low.
Can anyone please help me with anything that had helped you? Any remedies or diets etc. I'm on slimming world have lost a couple of stone so far and this did help a litrle but its come back really badly. Also has anyone made a connection between ibs and contraceptive.
Many thanks 🤗

I have always had ibs but then spent best part of a year with it really bad, I then cut out dairy which helped but I would still have a bit of diahorria or urgency, I stopped the contraceptive pill 2 months ago and have had hardly any stomach issues. So at first I did blame contraception for (some of) the issues. I’m not sure if it’s connected or in my head but I did think could contraception be to blame for it

If you have the time look at Nick Norwitz on YouTube.
He is a medical researcher and sorted out his own issues.

Have you tried an elimination diet?
