Bowel problems

I’ve been diagnosed with IBS since I was 16. It seems to go in cycles for me, one month I’ll be alright, next doubled over in pain 3 or 4 times a week. I’ve taken all sorts both prescription and OTC to no bloody good at all.

Lately I’ve been taking Bicarbonate of Soda and eating peppermints when it’s bad and that helps far more than all the medicines and everything else the doctors have put me on.
