Years ago I dealt w IBS. Then I went on Lyrica for Chronic pain and the IBS symptoms disappeared for years. I had to go off of lyrica about a year ago bc it was no longer working. I still take Cymbalta and Amalodapine. I am suffering w anxiety and terrible lower GI discomfort. I recently had to have wrist surgery due to a break and was on hydrocodone 2 days and IBS flated so bad I cannot get relief from it. Anyone have any suggestions how to reset my GI tract?

Catsue, how were the IBS symptoms when you first came of Lyrica a year ago? How long has it been since you took hydrocodone after surgery?

Hi @branch, do you have a diary intolerance? How do you manage IBS?
