IBS flares, needs supportive management

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concerns. With stress,PTSD, anxiety, no gallbladder and history of IBS diarrhea predominant, and superadded diabetic gastroparesis, bowel functions decline can be significantly bothersome and can lead to such complications. I am afraid treatment is mostly supportive modifying diet and lifestyle is first priority. Its good that you cut off dairy, spicy, canned products, caffeine, tea etc. Avoid alcohol, cola beverages, chocolates, sweets etc too. Use more fiber and fluids, natural fresh fruits and vegetables etc and use yogurt with peppermint for the spasmodic and natural probiotic actions. You can request your doctor for some good antispasmodic for the cramps and probiotics as well. Small frequent meals will help too.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
