Suggest Treatment For Irregular Bowel Movement While Suffering From IBS
I have had IBS for 25+ years, several intolerances inc wheat and lactose, had anterior resection in 2007 and finding it really hard to get my bowel right! Sometimes I go to the toilet, walk away and back again and this can happen about 8 times in an evening....obviously caused by one of the above but how can I get the balance right? Stools are formed but soft, sometimes sticky...so what am I lacking in my diet? Apart from this my health is excellent all my test results are excellent and I have more energy now than Ive had for years...just need to sort this out...so any advice would be appreciated.

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Symptoms are related to inadequate transit time of food particles in gut
due to your resection in past.
*All you can do is to control it with life style modifications only no medicines
are going to affect it dear :
- have plenty of liquids preferably boiled water, coconut water, green tea,
coffee , lemon juice, butter milk etc.
- prefer light diet rich in protein, iron, vitamins , minerals ,trace elements,
anti-oxidants ,fiber , yoggurtfor better digestion.
- avoid all oily / spicy / nonveg stuffs / beverages / cheese / excess ghee /
pastas / sugar / sweeteners
- remain ambulatory , keep walking in fresh air
- do regular exercises, Deep Breathing exercises with YOGA for 30 min. a
day without failure which is the cornerstone of the therapy neglected by
most of the patient.
- take small amount of food at intervals.
- avoid prolong fasting / overeating
- avoid stress / anxiety
- have sound sleep of 8 hours
- natural sources for gut immunity are Amla , Tulsi , Ginger , Turmeric
- Pre-probiotics have some role in cases
Hope this helps you to some extent.
