      IBS Medications focus on the primary symptom which causes a patient to seek help from a doctor, ie: diarrhea (IBS-D), constipation (IBS-C) and/or abdominal pain. Medical foods are foods which are formulated to be consumed or administered under the supervision of a physician. Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) is a new treatment that has been shown to be over 90% effective for treating C. difficile infection in patients who had previously failed to recover with antibiotic therapy.

      Hi I'm fairly new to serious bouts of IBS the Dr's have been checking me for bugs etc....I've had camera down and up and nothing found sinister. 
      I suffer really badly with pain, bloating and feel really unwell most of the time. Is this what other sufferers have experienced? I feel as though I have a constant tummy bug has anyone else felt this too?
      I have lost weight and often I'm too scared to eat as I don't want to suffer the long bouts of diarrhea.
      I'm currently taking Loperamide and Ondansetron and as I also have an hiatus hernia recently diagnosed I take Lanzaprozol for.  My GP recently upped the Lanzaprozol and soon after my IBS got worse. 
      I'd be grateful for any reassurance I can get as I am up most nights on the loo 😭 feeling really unwell and extremely anxious and crying...
      Thank you for reading this

      Albendazole produces a degeneration of the parasite microtubule and irreversibly blocks glucose uptake in parasites.
      Inhibition of glucose uptake causes depletion of energy stores in the parasite, eventually resulting in death. However, there is no effect on glucose metabolism in mammals. Indications and Clinical Uses albendazole is effective for treatment of numerous helminth intestinal parasites including Toxacara, Toxascaris, Ancylostoma, and Trichuris. it is effective for most intestinal helminth parasites and also against nematodes.
      it also has been used for pulmonary helminths (lungworms), but longer duration of treatment is needed. albendazole has been effective for treatment of Giardia, but higher doses are needed and there may be failure rates as high as 50%. It is effective in cats for treatment of lungworms, flukes, and a variety of helminth parasites.
      albendazole Trade and other names: Panacur and Safe-Guard Functional classification: Antiparasitic
      Precautionary Information Adverse Reactions and Side Effects albendazole has a good safety margin, but vomiting and diarrhea have been reported. When evaluated at doses of three and five times the recommended dose at three times the recommended duration, albendazole was well tolerated and no adverse effects were reported in the target species. It has been safe to use during pregnancy. There have been rare reports of pancytopenia associated with albendazole administration. Contraindications and Precautions No known contraindications. It may be used in all ages of animals. Drug Interactions There are no known drug interactions.
      Pharmacological (biological) properties and effects of albendazole
      The anti-gelmintic agent of the benzimidazole group. albendazole (5-phenyl-tio-2-benzimidizole carbamat) has a wide range of nematodic and cesodocide, active against adult forms, larvae and eggs of necatode of the gastrointestinal tract and lungs, as well as cystods parasitizing.
      The mechanism of action of albendazole is to destroy the microchannels in the cells of the intestine helminths and disrupt the energy processes, which leads to the death of parasites.
      With oral administration, albendazole is easily absorbed into the intestines and distributed in the organs and tissues of the animal; secretes from the body in the constant form and in the form of metabolites, mainly with bile and partly with urine.
      Chemical substance is packaged on 1, 10, 100, 500, 1000 g in plastic bags, vials and cans of glass. Plastic bags of 10 and 25 kg.
      Storage: In a dry place at temperatures ranging from 0 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius.
      Expiration date: 3 years.
