I have irritable bowel syndrome. In my form, i have lots of diarrhoea throughout the entire day most days. It’s at random times and not at the same times each day. Wondering if all this diarrhoea from IBS makes my contraceptive pill less effective? If it does, by how much?

dancerhelen2006 asked:

I haven’t had a normal bowel movement in about a month, and when I do have bowel movements, they’re very loose and painful to pass. I get crampy and it’s just very painful. Is this ibs, or a side effect of something else?

I have IBS and an anal fissure which is causing me extreme pain – can anyone suggest anything?

Meme asked:

I have been using Prep H wipes when I go to the loo and Germoloids ointment and suppositories to help with the fissure. Unfortunately both of the Germoloids products say not to use more than four times in any 24 hour period – as I’m going to the loo much more than this (because of the IBS), and each time I do the fissure opens up again, I need something else to help. Can anyone give any other advice please?

New IBS Over The Counter Drug – Digestive Advantage

For those of you who are also irritable bowel syndrome sufferers like myself, you’re willing to try just about any new drug or therapy that becomes available on the market. Last time I was at the grocery store I came across a new product that claims to clinically manage abdominal pain and bloating and his drug-free.

Digestive Advantage irritable bowel syndrome is a once daily medical food product that is intended for use by irritable bowel syndrome sufferers. It is not a cure for irritable bowel syndrome nor is it intended to replace any medications that were prescribed by a physician.

The manufacturers claim their patent pending Ganeden Lactobacillus cultures contain what they call “healthy bacteria” is supposed to work within your intestinal ecosystem.

I have yet to try this new IBS product but my hopes are low since everything I’ve tried over the counter has failed to work. If any of you have already tried this product please comment below as I’m interested to hear your experiences with it.

You can purchase this product directly on Amazon.com or visit your local grocery store as they will probably have stock available as well.
