just been diagnosed with ibs. On some medication for a month then have to go back to see if they helped if not will be tested for celiacs.
Does anyone else have ibs and can help with any tips on how to manage it or what to avoid to help so I don't trigger it further ? I have an open diary any help would be much appreciated.

    Is yours IBS with constipation? Or strictly IBS ?

    I've had it for about 13 years. Purely cramps and pain. I found knowing what it was after it went undiagnosed for 2 years was a big help. I use buscopan when I know it's about to start. Can tell it's coming before it really kicks off. However recently I've got tired of managing it and though I really need to find a way to stop it. My brother is a celiac and so I thought why not try cutting out gluten. That was 3 months ago. Touch wood, not an incident since.... :)

    My IBS gets triggered by dairy products, chilli, onions, anything too spicy, and - for some reason - tortillas. I have some mint tablets which help.
