Although IBS can’t be cured, there are things that can help you to manage your condition.
Try to cook homemade meals using fresh ingredients.
It’s a good idea to keep a diary of what you eat and if you get any symptoms - this will help you to figure out what food triggers your IBS so you can avoid it.
Probiotics, like yoghurts, may ease your symptoms, too.
If you’re looking to relieve IBS symptoms like diarrhoea, speak to our pharmacist about loperamide; if bloating or gas is an issue, try Buscopan or peppermint oil.
Laxatives can also help if you’re struggling with constipation to get your bowel movements working as they should.
