IBS and Autism

NAS86320

Hi everyone, I am 50 and was diagnosed in January with Autism and ADHD, I am not getting any professional support, where do you all get support from? I also have IBS which I am learning is very common in people with Autism, it is particularly bad at the moment, probably the worst its ever been. I have started to follow a FODMap and take Immodium every day! Ho do you all deal with it?

  • Keep a food diary to work out your triggers. A great product for your health is Symprove. It works wonders. You can ask for an anti spasmodic for when things are bad. That before a meal can help. Keep meals small and often, reduce fibre, try soluble fibre. Drink enough water, and exercise regularly. Oh, and keep stress levels ti a minimum!

    I have already done the food diary and it made no difference, no matter what I eat bland or not. I don't eat big meals anyway, I am more of a grazer, but I will look at Symprove thank you.
