yes, probiotic is clinically proven to help in IBS.

it is a common condition, 1 in 5 ppl in UK have IBS.

so what type of symptoms you have? just constipation and discomfort? any pain, or irregularity (sometime diarhoea, but sometime constipation)?

it is better to have constipation, as it is easily treated too, with simple intervention (bulking agent, lots of fibres, or effective natural product such as senokot), rather than having diarhoea out of no where.

try to avoid food like wheat (in bread, cereal or even some noodle), rye, barley, dairy product, coffee (or caffeine containing drink, coke, tea etc), and onions. these are common food that will trigger IBS.

are you not given any drug such as mebeverine (colofac), they are good if you have sudden pain of IBS.

hi youngkies, are u ibs ppl? why so interest and knowledgeable in ibs? Quite experiences ... i wanna share the thought to u. Yea, when at first my symptoms is coming, it is very worst. i may experience in diarrhea around 5 or 6 time in a day, sometimes constipate, when constipate i felt so pain the stomach and no appetite...after suffered one month, i go to consult a specialist and through the colonoscopy and CTscan, i diagnosed is IBS. Then, my symptoms is getting less when i get a suit treatment. Until now, sometimes i will have some gas or bloating, easy to get tire, felt that not strong than before, if i eat a lot of meat will getting constipate, diarrhea after getting too much fiber or eat something dirty or not suitable like fatty food, spicy...and now i'm weight loss around 47KG ,170cm

i got some question need to ask u, once i having probiotics everyday, i must eat oat in order to prevent constipate. so is it better i take everyday[oat and probiotics]? got any side effect?

you call me try to avoid food like wheat (in bread, cereal or even some noodle), rye, barley, dairy product, coffee (or caffeine containing drink, coke, tea etc), and onions. these are common food that will trigger IBS.

so what symptoms that wheat can trigger?

so what symptoms that noodle can trigger and why noodle can affect, is it the ingredients of noodle, what is that?

so what symptoms that barley can trigger?

so what symptoms that daily product can trigger?

so what symptoms that coffee and tea can trigger?

so what symptoms that onion can trigger?

can tell me details?? coz i need these for my rest of my life..thanks.

when i stomachache, i take duspatalin sometimes take hyoscience, when i diarrhea i take immodium, beamodium or lomotil, when i vomit i take maxolon...

Hi..selenium, maybe cigarettes will help u in the short run, but in long run,  maybe u can eliminate a lot of IBS symptoms but u may get lung disease...this is my comment but no exactly correct..maybe sometimes depends on a ppl body systems. haha as a reference la..

thanks u all reply me haha..hope to see u all reply soon ..haha

no i do not suffer from IBS.

oat and probiotics have no interaction. so no worry. do you have actimel in malaysia? it is a good common probiotic, fresh as well, way better then taking those dry powder formulation. and it is recently widely used for hospital in-patient when they are taking antibiotic course, to help in the gut flora. so you might want to give it a try.

those food that i mentioned are the common foods that trigger IBS in UK, a studied done by some IBS association IIANM. i have no idea how exactly they trigger ibs, but i could see the reason as they fall into two categories:

1. bulking agent (e.g wheat, rye), which increase volume of stool and making it easier to pass.

2. diuretics (e.g. caffeine, barley maybe) which removes water in the body, indirectly may cause constipation.

as for dairy product, even healthy people might get intolerance to lactose, or it can promote stomach movement leading to diarhoea. no idea for onion though.

you are taking the right / common medication for IBS, which is either to relieve discomfort, muscle cramp, or to reduce gut activity.

well if you fancy milk, but are intolerant to cow milk, you can drink lactose-free milk or soy milk (soy milk is healthy option too).

anywhere thanks youngkies, actimel ? is one of the probiotics? i'm taking Lacto5 probiotics... r u interest in health? u have many knowledge about health, i think u r doctor..haha.. can i ask u a question, tell u a story first, a woman around 50 years old, but one day she suddenly  get blooding in her urine so she go to consult doctor[General Hospital], at first the doctor suspect is STONES in bladder but eventually the urine test come out and the doctor said nothing happen, no STONES just the bladder not clean, go back and drink more water...so, u think is this secure?? Is it need any CT scan or any procedure to check more detail? Now the woman does not have any uncomfortable about the bladder..and the woman have the High Blood Pressure before this incident is happened.. so based on ur experience, what is the disease? or does not have disease at all?

Sometimes, even IBS ppl they need not consult doctor, because of the problems not serious and not many symptoms are come out...so i think if just some gas and just a milk or daily product u cannot use, don worry, i think the problems is not big in this moment, u're lucky than me oh, so remember care your body health...LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TAKE TWO, if i can choose i may choose back to the before i get IBS,..i cannot tell u in details, i'm not profession as doctor..haha..very happy share our story..

actimel is probiotic dairy yoghurt from danone.

my pov of your story, if she is not assured by what the doctor said, she can always go for a second opinion. if me, i will be worried of her developing kidney failure due to the high blood pressure.

Does High Blood Pressure will lead to Kidney Failure? Why ? Is it because of the side effect of the medicine? or what is the causes of Kidney Failure?

high blood pressure not only put load on the heart but also the kidney. filtration occur in the kidney, when blood pressure is high, it might damage the filter system in the kidney, and this when the blood cells are able to squeeze through into the filtrate/urine. usually risk is higher with diabetes.

my gf has IBS or mayb something related.  problem is, after meals, she will feel bloated and belly will swell abit and bowel movement only comes mayb after 1 or 2 days. all the while she will feel gassy in the belly.  She has tried fibre, and even taken supplements to enhance the liver after suggestions that low bile production may influence irregular bowel movements.

Mayb will ask her to try probiotics?

yes daily yoghurt like yakult should be able to help.
