Suffering From IBS. Changed Medicines For Period Pains. IBS Caused Due To Change In Medication?
Hi, I have IBS-D and have had it for 10 months now. I follow a FODMAPS diet which does help but does not completely get rid of the symptoms of urgency or diarrhoea. During my period my IBS is worse. I noticed a change in my bowels after my GP changed my medication I was on. I took Ginet to control my period pain and he put me on Norimin due to the risk of DVTs from Ginet due to my weight. Can a change in medication cause IBS? Also, if I switch to the Depo-provera would I see a positive change in my IBS? Thanks.

ibs is now related as chronic irritaion and inflsamsation of one or more food components we take daly
it can also be medicines
or it has increased in natural course and seem if medicine has done it
i think you must get blood serum tests for specific antibodies for milk wheat potato chana and rice nuts or common food you take daily
you will recover after eliminating food components
for medicines you can test blood for allergy before starting any medicine
