I posted a bit about having a colonic irrigation,with no results! I'm 61 years old & have had IBS as far back as I can remember.Of course it wasn't known as IBS when I was young.I was given laxatives for constipation & kaolin morph for diarrhoea;told I had a "grumbling" appendix which was removed & found normal when I was 18. I've been it "constipated mode" since 2001,having previously swung between the two modes, mostly diarrhoea. I've recently stopped eating wheat, which has helped a bit. I also use Manuka honey & it seems to improve motility. Still in daily pain, still struggling to make everyone understand the difficulty of being cheerful when I just want to scream - you'd think I'd be used to it by now! But hey, I'm still here, making the best of it. Hope your tests give you something to try at least. Best wishes, Carol. Hi Sophie- don’t know if you remember me.
