gently, I have IBS-D so almost everything bothers my stomach. I see my cardiologist today so we'll see what she says. Of course I read about all the side effects of Repatha and it also says back pain, which I already have and flu like symptoms. I am super sensitive to almost all drugs. I am the only person I know who couldn't even take 100 mg of gabapentin because of diarrhea.

I can’t take it either. A lot of people can’t. For your IBS go on the FODMAP diet. It’s free and available at the Monash University online. It’s an elimination diet, which means that you start out on a very small diet which immediately relieves all your IBS and then you expand to find the intolerable offenders. I’ve been on it since 2018. I also was diagnosed with small intestinal bacteria overgrowth for which there is a targeted antibiotic called Xifaxan. FODMAP becomes a way of life. It shows you what you can’t digest anymore. So as long as you avoid those foods, you won’t have stomach aches, diarrhea, and constipation. I take allopurinol for the Gowdy arthritis and it gets rid of the joint aches perfectly and it’s a very easy medicine to take. It’s also easily diagnosed with a simple blood test for uric acid.
