IBS sufferer going on holiday?!
Question: IBS sufferer going on holiday.?
I suffer with IBS, i already know my "food triggers" (bread & sugar mainly) I want to strengthen my erm bowels before i go on holiday and while im on holiday, i have a sensitive tum any way so i dont want this to ruin my holiday! I am already on medication from my doc for when it gets bad (my IBS isnt as bad as some cases iv heard i dont suffer cramps mines more like hot & cold sweats with the feeling you need to go to the loo but also feeling like i want to throw up).. I know to avoid water (ice cream, ice cubes etc) and foods that arent Hot enough, I just want to give my tum a healthy boost to reduce having a "crap" holiday.. If you do recommend anything can you tell me where i can get it from.? Thank you xHealth Question & Answer
Answers:
Acidophilius supplements - you can get them from health food stores like Holland Barrett.. They are a form of good bacteria - i suffer from IBS too and they really help.. When I'm taking them, the cramps and bloatedness all but disappear, and they help to strengthen your gut..

Let me guess - mebeverine 500mg, right.....? Where are you going.? I've got IBS very severely (hence the mention of mebeverine as that's what I take)..
I wouldn't anything more than usual (says she who's not been abroad for about 15 years!) Just avoid your triggers and drink bottled water - and make sure food is properly cooked.. Oh yes don't eat salad either as that will have been washed in tap water..Health Question & Answer
