help guys am so fed up

Awww Bex so sorry you are having problems sweetheart. I did hear that Lactulose can cause dumping in some people so I avoid it now. What worked for me was Movicol. Easy to take and works really well - no straining just normal movements. After taking that a few times in the initial weeks it has all settled down and I only need to use it if I don't have enough water. Another thing that I find keeps me going properly is half a wheetabix. I am usually fine once I have had that.

Hope you manage to get it all sorted out soon as it does make you miserable. I too suspect that you might have an intolerance to milk so it is well worth getting it checked out. Soya milk isn't too bad once you get used to it

Bexs hun peppermint is very good for IBS too as it puts a protective layer round your stomach so food or other things can't irritate it . I use it all the time.

I keep a food diary then I can work out what am triggers are. I write everything down including how I am feeling. Then that way I can work out what food to avoid if say am stressed or upset ie. it may really help xx

Hope you feel much better very soon, sweetie I am sure the peppermint will work for you as it is much gentler xxx
