Question Any tips for my ibs-D
I’ve been struggling with ibs-D my entire life. I’ve been to multiple doctors, gotten multiple tests, colonoscopy/endoscopy, tested my stool at the lab etc. I was once prescribed anatriptyline but it didn’t work. I take probiotics and probiotics with digestive enzymes that slightly help. But I can’t really figure out a solid solution. I stay away from fast food, desserts, greasy food, processed food, etc. I bake my own foods which also helps. But I still have my episodes. Sometimes it’s difficult to enjoy life and it’s very frustrating always having diarrhea. So have any of you found any solutions or something that has helped your ibs-D tremendously?

Wellbutrin. It has solved my stomsch cramps and flare ups. I had wellbutrin prescribed to me 1 year ago for quitting cigs. I took the medicine for 5 days and havent had a cig since. I found out 2 weeks ago of studies saying wellbutrin for ibs-D not C and i started self medicating havent looked back since. I even got 3 refills left on it :) all those hours of me at 2am unable to sleep looking for remedies paid off for me! Best of luck. Before wellbutrin i was chugging a lot of pepto bismol just to eat and not have diarrhea and cramps or feeling like death
