Need suggestions for managing my IBS symptoms

Just wait and shi+it out 😭😭 I know how you feel brother. The stress kills me but I try to always stay super supportive and positive, so you got this 💪

Mine is caused by stress 😩 possibly your getting stressed out. I do have medication for it from the Drs it helps as over the counter stuff didn't. Hate having ibs.

Diet and potentially medications/supplements to help regulate

I don't take it myself but a family member has started taking apple cider vinegar for their IBS and its been very effective - much more so than any probiotics or diet changes they've tried in the past. Of course, everyone is different!

My IBS got way better when I started using Konsyl. Metamucil tore me up. But Konsyl actually bulked my stools enough to help. I take it with knox gelatin. I also learned to stop trying to eat raw vegetables and only eat cooked ones now. I also have to be very careful of what water I drink. Figured out the water in my home town was making me run all the time.

IBS C or D?

I just shit here and talk on Alike. It's tough but I don't know what to do 😭

Avoiding sugar and coffee helps me. If I'm having a bad day, I also avoid large amounts of dairy.

I've been trying recently taking activated charcoal to slow down the diarrhea, and then if it happens to have the effect too well and back me up, I drink pure aloe vera juice to help move things along without any kind of stimulant. I'd be happy to share links if you'd like. Also I'd start with a 260 charcoal first to see how your body responds, and I wouldnt take it everyday or you can definitely get backed up.

No fiber. I use some magnesium supplements. Seems to clear my bowels and makes me less gassy and bloated.

I just eat a lot of fiber bars ,:/
