Post surgery IBS and associated anxiety
Hi. I have IBS flare-ups and recently in struggling because of ankle injury and being immobile / not exercising. I feel bloated a lot of the time. I do go but there is a lot of straining. I'm on softening laxatives and always feel like I'm not empty down there.
It's making me anxious which won't help either. Trying to eat healthy with lots of fibre. Any tips to regain some normality with limited movement?

For me personally, probiotics helped me a ton to be regular. I use the brand Garden of Life. They are a bit pricey to me it's worth it. Also, changing my diet to minimally processed foods. Eating organic protein and upping my vegetables (always cooked.) Minimal sugar and I cut out wheat completely. These are things that helped me and of course doing this consistently. -Elizabeth (team member)
