I would get IBS cramps so bad I'd sit on the toilet, bucket in hand, vomiting from pain. The pain would be crippling, I'd have to wait for a moment between the waves of pain that I could actually walk to the bathroom. My upper GI is still an issue (I'm ALWAYS nauseas and frequently vomit) but one magic, natural pill fixed my IBS completely- Culturelle. It's a probiotic and other brands may be just as helpful, this is just the one that helped me right off so I didn't try any others. Within 48 hours (2 doses) my pain was 95% gone, down to a very bearable 2/10. And the borderline-diarrhea was now soft, easy to pass stool (sorry if it's TMI, IBS always is!). I'm now inconsistent with taking it, but if I even start to have IBS symptoms, I take a Culturelle for a day or 2 and I'm back to feeling great! I recommended it to my dad and bro who have also had great relief with it!
Probiotics are a GOOD bacteria that are naturally found in your GI tract, mainly in the intestines. They help fight off the bad bacteria that cause pain and irregularity. Probiotics are also found in yogurt and other foods. Hope this helps!
