How can I keep my IBS under control?
Does anyone who has IBS know of any medications, home remedies, or anything at all that can help with ibs pain?
I know that ibs can be very painful( I have it too). Some things that have helped me are: taking hot baths for the cramps or using hot pads on the belly, not drinking caffeine or eating overly spicy foods, taking imodium when I get that feeling like I might not be able to get off the toilet for an hour or before I have a big day that an ibs flare up could ruin (at least an hour beforehand)…also, constipation from ibs hurts, take citrucel( solable fiber ) to prevent constipation and help with diarrhea< it does help both…also my doctor prescribed me Lorazepam(anxiety) but it also helps to stop most ibs episodes in their tracks, maybe you should talk to your doctor about what medications he thinks could work for you. Best of Luck to you and remember don't let this stupid thing control your life instead do everything you desire to do, it just takes some good medications and preparation (I always carry imodium and lorazepam everywhere I go).
Controlling IBS involves reducing stress in your life. Also, if there are specific foods that trigger problems, avoid them. Finally, anti-spasmodic medications can help, as can anti-diarrheal drugs. Some of the anti-depressant drugs also work to reduce physical problems related to IBS>
