Just Diagnosed With Ibs

[NoMercy]

This would explain a lot about my recent past.

Apparently women with this condition tend to be more likely to suffer with tender / painful breasts, struggle more with PMS and they are at greater risk of ectopic pregnancy.

Possibly stress is the trigger for my latest attack (my condition has only just been diagnosed after several years) and any expert advice would be appreciated.

I would be particularly interested in anyone who's tried Rifaximin - an antibiotic hailed as a wonder drug and said to give a complete cure in many instances???

I take Mebeverine to keep mine at bay. Mine is triggered by my menstrual cycle - I've learnt to identify my triggers and avoid such foods if I can failing that take my tablets and hope for the best.
Can't say I have issues in the top half but I do struggle with my pms other than that all is dandy.
All the best NoM x

Thanks, QoM. I'm really suffering at the moment and I think depression is just part and parcel of the whole *** process :(
