Laxative treatment to stop IBS reaction
I recently had to prep for a sigmoidoscopy with a laxative and fleet enemas, and no food for almost a day. After this prep and my procedure, I started back to eating normally. That was a day and a half ago and I'm back to normal. I might try the laxative along with eating less for a short time to alleviate the symptoms. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm sorry they do but hope they find relief. I haven't myself, but wondered if laxatives could speed up the end of a non-constipated IBS episode just by cleaning you out. I only ask because my laxative prep for my sigmoidoscopy seemed to help end a couple of bad IBS days.
