Have IBS And Bloating. Taken Zelnorm, Probiotics, Flax Seed. What Can I Do?

I have IBS(Severe constipation) with intense bloating. I feel like I am carring around a watermelon in my stomach and I do not eat large portions. I do not even have to eat anything to get this. I am miserable. I did see a digestive spec. and a gastro doctor. I used to be on Zelnorm with great results but, fda pulled. I have this constant suffering almost every day. I have tried pro biotics, flax seed, aloe, etc.. Also adding extro fiber. What can I do to be normal again?

Gastroenterologist,  's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM).

1.Continue with high fiber diet (may be psyllium fibers) and lots of liquid in your diet
2.Take triphala powder one teaspoon with warm water or for better result mix it with honey and take it at time of sleep at night and one teaspoon in early morning empty stomach
3.Avoid foods that contain maida.
4. Take meals at least 2 hours before going to bed.
5. Take lots of fruits and vegetables daily
6. Add condiments like jeera, haldi and ajwain in your diet as these all help in digestion
7. take laxative like syrup cremaffin plus which is a combination of sodium picosulphate, milk of magnesia, and liquid paraffin
8. So what if zelnorm is withdrawn from market. Another drug is there lubipristone 25 microgram twice a day

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
