IBS-C

[BanditNOLIMIT]

Hi all

I’m looking for information on how to relieve IBS-C. I figured there’d be some knowledge and/or experience on this board.

Specifically:
- FODMAP?
- Foods to remove?
- Food to add?
- Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, etc)? How much? Can too much cause further issues?
- Hydration?
- Fiber?
- Supplementation?

Thanks!

I would opt for an allergy test before changing anything just to rule a few things out and then maybe go from there unless already done.

Metamucil and stay away from foods that give you the C. Youll be fine

I’m not asking for myself. I’m trying to help someone else work through their issue. So basically elimination diet and additional fibre is likely the answer?

Probiotics, prebiotics and fiber. Fiber might just irritate it but I'd do a good solid cycle of some decent probiotics.

Something like this

Genestra HMF Intensive 500 Probiotic Formula

Genestra HMF Intensive 500 Probiotic Formula is Genestra's most concentrated probiotic formula yet,

Would you happen to know what the dosing protocol for this type of product would be?

Yes

Yeh i forgot the probiotics. They never helped me with my issues but it helps some people with ibs.
Ibs is a very finicky thing with no one size fits all answer but usually probiotics and or fiber and eliminating foods that upset the digestive track will be the best that can be done.
Experimentation with those options to see what works best should help though.

No sorry I don't. I don't have ibs but I read a few books on gut health, I just know a good quality probiotic with the right bacteria strains is always a good first choice and really has the potential to completely cure some ailments.
