Its nothing serious really, my wife has it, she has these god awful drinks called fibrogel which sorts her out. She made me try one because I told her they can't be that bad...

IBS? You can get over the counter medication for this, but the prescription stuff is colofac. Peppermint is your friend - it helps calm down all the stomach twinges. When I had it really bad, I was drinking pints of peppermint tea.

i used to have IBS, doesn't seem to be a problem.

i've been on fluoxetine and loperamide for about three years which has sorted it out.

i used buscopan for a long time to control the stomach cramps.

good luck

i have had IBS for about 10 years, it comes and goes every few months or so.

the main symtoms are either constapation or the squits, i get a really bad ache in the lower left part of my belly which is my bowels having a bit of a twinge, this goes on for about a day or so then i am ok, the other symtoms are if i eat too much to fast i get really bloated and have to go blow it all out about 10 minutes later. Stop eating bread, stop drinking tea and coffee, do not drink a boat load of beer, stop eating lots of red meat, eat little and often, then at best you will be like me that only gets it every few months. I do not take any medication for it as i have tried them all.

Mate of mine has the same thing. She drinks this Peppermint tea like it's going out of fashion too. Well, it replaces most normal tea for her.

Does the trick! :)

yeah you can, theres a code that all bartenders know, one of the unwritten rules.
If for instance you go up to the bar and ask for a pint of beer flavoured tea but at the same time make inconspicious pointing motions at the ale of your choice, they will in fact pour you that very ale.

It's wonderful stuff, and it normally comes in all your favourite specific flavours.

I have the next thing up from IBS called Crohn's, like others have said with IBS I've heard peppermint tea helps but i would also suggest you keep an eye on what you eat and see if a certain food type makes it appear more often than others.

I've been off for 3 weeks with a stress-related stmach issue. I find if I have to go anywhere nears my current job, I get the shits and start puking everywhere. I have to go in on Thursday for a wellbeing meeting. I plan on shitting on the table and walking out.

Pictures required.

Tom don't you work for yourself, so don't you call a sick day a day off instead :p
