DEAR USER,
THANKS FOR CONSULTING WITH HCM
IBS ARE BASICALLY TWO TYPES CONSTIPATION PREDOMINANT AND DIARRHOEA PREDOMINANT
CONSIDERING THAT YOU HAVE A DIARRHOEA PREDOMINANT IBS I SUGGEST YOU THE FOLLOWING
KINDLY AVOID THE DIET CALLED FODMAPS (YOU CAN GET THE LIST OF THESE EASILY ON NET)
START WITH TABLET RIFAXIMIN 400MG BD FOR 2 MONTHS
TABLET NORMAXIN BD FOR 15DAYS
EAT FRESH LEAFY FOODS AND AVOID JUNK FOODS.
HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR QUERY. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
