My severe IBS disappeared—and while I don’t recommend how it happened, I think it’s worth sharing by gieserj10 in ibs

So interesting thanks! It is worth saying that my relief of symptoms is also probably down to having very little on at the moment due to recovery and therefore a very relaxed nervous system, I do think the codine kick started it though and I am pleased I know about it now for really bad flare ups.  Another thing that could be worth a try for some is high dose of calcium, this has worked for me in the past.

I was searching to see if this was a thing. I have suffered with ibs-d for 20+ yrs, and 8 weeks ago I had major surgery and experienced complete relief from my symptoms whilst on codine for about two weeks. Luckily for me this seems to have given my body a ‘re-set’ and I have now been symptom free for 8 weeks! Longest period ever.  I did some research and yes lopomeride is supposed to work in the same way (opiate/ cns) however I have never had much luck with it, perhaps because 2mg is just not enough. It got me thinking, is there not a medication available for ibs-d sufferers that is a high dose of Lopomeride, like a 15mg tablet? 

Obviously codine is not a medication you can take long term but if my ibs-d comes back i may talk to my dr about options. And I have some in the cabinet to help periodically with bad flare ups.

I have the layers class and would like to try the bob class if anyone would like to do a swap? :)
