What helps to relieve symptoms of IBS?

I agree. Change of diet has no effect on me either. I find stress gives me diarrhea. It is simple things like going to a doctors appointment or going to play Pickleball. I always have to know where the bathroom is. I’ve been living with us for five or so years now. I take Metamucil every day. It seems to help with going to the bathroom at the same time every day. But then again, I could have a day where I go eight times. I’ve tried everything. Lactose Free diet, gluten free diet it just doesn’t seem to matter. I am thinking about finding out if there’s some kind of medication I an take for anxiety.

Have you heard of the FODMAP diet? It is often recommended to people with IBS. I undertook the training under a dietician’s guidance. As a result I learned about which foods to eat in smaller amounts and a very few not to eat at all. It has really helped my gastro problems. If you are interested be sure to talk to your primary care provider or dietician first.
