Pain Medication

PAIN KILLER MEDS. Can IBS sufferers take medications such as Cocodamol and Ibuphrophen or will they cause bowel issues such as Diarrhea or Constipation?

  1. Hi , thanks for this question. Treatments can work differently for different people, and we cannot provide medical advice. We do have an article written by a patient describing her experience with Ibuprofen: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/living/nsaids. Community members have also discussed their experiences with related medications here: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/ibuprofen and https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/painkillers. But most importantly, we encourage you to reach out to a doctor to discuss Co-codamol and Ibuprofen usage.
