Statins and IBS

I've submitted my story to irritablebowelsydrome.net which I think may help some sufferers.

The short version is that for over two years now I've been suffering from IBS and painful nighttime colon spasms, then a couple of weeks ago I forgot to take my statins and had a much less troubled sleep. I stopped taking statins altogether and my IBS and nighttime pain has gone completely. I feel like I'm back to normal.

I wonder if any of you have had a similar experience?

    I don't have any personal experience to share, but I've found this forum topic that was created a while ago where the member described a similar problem: https://irritablebowelsyndrome.net/forums/statins


    I'm so glad to hear that you're doing better!
