What medication would that be? I have found enzymes that seem to help with fructans and GOS, do you mean those?
I've heard of fecal transplants before, but that it's simply unknown at this point if it helps with IBS. Hypnosis seems to be helpful for some people as well.
For sure, Celebrex, an NSAID. I had really bad pain and ended up in the hospital and was given Toradol and it helped immediately, and then the doctor gave me a prescription for celebrex afterwards, I took it daily for a while and that was years ago, now I take it as backup if things get bad.
Ye, I suspected that my gut bacteria was a big part of the issue. I found when I did the transplants it always helped. But you have to jump through a lot of hoops to do it safely and effectively. And it may be illegal. And of course, the ick factor is real.
Thanks for sharing your story!
