IBS relief meds

Featured Replies

I have found a medication that has helped me with my ibs sooo much. It's called IBgard. You can get it from Amazon. It's a little pricey but has helped relieve my pain quite a bit.

Great to hear.

Ibgard's primary ingredient peppermint oil, is a natural smooth muscle (bowel) relaxer and has been found helpful for some people with IBS.

Hi Frostbite...how long did it take for you to get better using the IBgard and what dosage were you using and for how long?

Thanks.

I first noticed my symptoms in my 30s. Lots of doubled over gas pains but now as im 50 i dont get the gas pains . But when I have to use the washroom its often immediately after I eat and its explosive often looks undigested. Now im also having trouble holding it if a washroom is close by. Now I get anxious going out

What you are describing sounds like rapid gastric emptying, where the stomach prematurely releases contents into the intestines. This explains why the food is undigested and causes explosive urgency, as unneutralized stomach acid and bile enter and severely irritate the bowel.

While you arrange to see a gastroenterologist to get this checked out, it may help to experiment with foods that are easier to digest to see if your symptoms improve. Please prioritize seeing a doctor soon to protect your digestive health and help you get your peace of mind back.

Ok thanks
