Has anyone here on Fluther successfully cured their issues with IBS?

Asked by tan253 (2948points) April 29th, 2016

I have suffered from IBS for about 15 years. It seems to be getting worse as I get older, but so are my stress levels. It seems it doesn’t actually matter what I eat, I’ve done the Low Fodmap diet, Paleo Diet, starve myself diet, juice only diet and nothing really helps. At the moment I’m having a terrible flare up and go to the toilet about 3 – 4 times through-out the morning before it calms itself down again, only to repeat the next morning.
I have been taking chia seeds and linseeds in a smoothie every morning but that doesn’t work. I have stopped drinking coffee, no onion, garlic and tomatoes, no bread or pasta as they are my trigger foods. Any ideas?
However, just to add confusion sometimes I can go eat a burger and my poop is perfect! Other times I’ll eat a piece of bread and I’m number 6 on the Bristol Stool Chart the next day! There is no logic here! Love your help and or tips?
Ps: My indigestion symptoms seemed to have vanished which is great!
