Suggest Treatment For IBS

Hi, I have an extremely basic diet due to being a very fussy eater. Every day I have cereal in the morning, ham and tomato sandwiches, an apple, sausage roll, and some chicken legs for lunch, then for dinner I have spaghetti bolognese on most occasions, probably 5 out of the 7 days a week this is all the same. My question is this, my stools every day change, sometimes they are runny, sometimes they are dry, sometimes they are long, and sometimes they come out in small balls (sorry to be graphic). Please can you advise if this is normal? It seems strange as my diet is the same everyday.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to irritable bowel syndrome. They are normal in this diagnosis.
I suggest using an over the counter option such as Imodium to treat the diarrhea.
In case of constipation you should use a laxative such as Miralax.
I also suggest using daily probiotics.
I I recommend to eat a fiber rich diet and drink a lot of liquids.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
