Brief Answer:
probiotics for 15 days during and after acute ill

Detailed Answer:
Hi

IBS is really difficult to treat for physicians. The relapses are common. It is a night made for sufferer.

I suggest you should take probiotic capsules like bifilac after any antibiotic use or acute stomach illness. You should practice active life style like brisk walking this will move bowels in the morning and pass gas before your daily routine. You can take charcoal and peppermint that can partially help flatulence.

You can pursue further course with gastroenterologist.

Brief Answer:
GASNIL and peppermint Oil

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Librex is a very good medicine. Though all medicines have certain side effects but the benefits are more than the possible side effects. So you can take them as per the doctors direction.

I do not see a reason staying single. It is your worry and stress that takes XXXXXXX away from you. Partners are there to share and they can help you with your condition. No issues you should marry.

You can take Peppermint Oil, 0.2 ml with 10ml of water thrice a day for two months. You can try GASNIL / FLATUNA tablets if they help for initial 15 days.

Let me know the result in 15days

Brief Answer:
diet is good no sweets

Detailed Answer:
Hi

IBS is about functional disorder. If our mind is not stressed and anxious the gut is alright. If there are bothering thoughts on mind the gut behaves weird. There can be diarrhea or some times hard stool.

Leave foods which bother you. Do jot take food that are in doubt. For some time stick to diet that is no problem for you. Anxiolytic medications help. Sometimes yogurt and curd help. Try them with less quantity and see if they help. No need of Vitamin B12 and B6 supplements when there is no obvious deficiency. Continue the peppermint oil as it is helping you but do not expect complete resolution you will have only 85 to 90% remission of symptoms.

I am very sorry for not in touch with you. I have no continuous internet. I promise to help you further.

Brief Answer:
Take healthier diet

Detailed Answer:
Usually to gain weight more calories are advised. But in adults there is risk of developing dyslipidemia, thus I will suggest that you take healthier diet Include more fiber in your diet by taking more fruits and salad during the day. Take low salt and low sugar food. Avoid alcohol. Take a wide variety of food to avoid nutritional deficiencies. Last but not least, take hygienic food and cleaner drinking water (with low ppm). This will help resolve issues of recurrent food poisoning etc. This step will also help you gain weight more easily and steadily. Hope it helps
