Living with IBS-C: Seeking Tips and Relief

Ok so I've never been actually diagnosed but I'm almost 100% positive i have IBS-C. My bowel habits fluctuate. I stay constipated a lot and have a lot of gas all the time. Recently, I've been bloated for many days and every time I eat, it gets worse. Does anyone else have this problem? if so, tips please because I can't find any relief!😩

Citrucel fiber capsules taken with a generous amount of coconut water in the morning right after a hot cup of coffee has helped me. Anything CBD/Hemp has also helped with my IBS and constipation. Banana smoothies with almond milk have worked wonders for me recently as well.

Yes!! I’m not actually diagnosed but I have the exact same problem as you. My doctors say it’s gastritis but I’m always constipated no matter what I do or try. I suggest you should do a food sensitivity test for the eating problem because when you have IBS there’s sometimes certain foods that trigger your symptoms. I hope this helps you and you’re not alone!!

With IBS it's hard to diagnose since all the symptoms can be explained away by something else. It took 3 visits at my GI as well as a colonoscopy/endoscopy to officially get the diagnosis of IBS-C

I've had IBS-C for more than 5 years now. Mag 07 helps a lot. It's also helpful figuring out which foods cause you gas.
