I find pre and probiotics very helpful. Peppermint oil capsules for flare ups. Try melons, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, case of trial and error really. I can't eat bran without disastrous consequences, but it helps some IBS sufferers!

Since March of this year I've been coping with irritable bowel syndrome.
I've been prescribed Mebeverine to take three times a day. It was helping but in May I started in the WW diet plan. So....have been eating a lot more fruit and veg because it's zero points! Also healthy!
Have had to reduce it significantly though as it made IBS a lot worse.
Can anyone offer advice on how to manage this condition?
