Tips for relaxing gut when going to bed

Posted by cadunkin @cadunkin, Jan 14 9:24am

My 37 year old daughter has been diagnosed with IBS. She has done everything recommended by every specialist she has seen. She is now eating only a few different foods. Has anyone found anything that helps with cramping, gas & constipation during the night? Thank you everyone for any suggestions.

What's the website you purchase the VSL#3 from that comes refrigerated? I used to take it years ago from a local pharmacy.

Look for vsl3 and that is a lowercase L

You may want to discuss your suspicion of digestive enzyme insufficiency with your gastroenterologist. They can test to determine if this is accurate or not. I have microscopic colitis and extremely low pancreatic enzymes and supplementing the enzymes is a total game changer!

I take artichoke capsules that really help with constipation.

Susan, Good luck. I will keep an eye out for anything further from you. Note that I also use Heather's Peppermint Tea to good effect. It calms my gut and I buy it in bulk. I am glad you can tolerate meat better than I can. It has been hard for me to figure out what foods or habit are problems as the "reaction" from a trigger food takes about a day for my intestinal system. Wishing you the very best, Judy.

Use to be with a prescription you could get at a pharmacy. Expensive.
Many studies, sometimes it’s effective some times not.
GI dr told me the same.
