Ibs

[nicky natty noo]

I'm going for the first time this summer and I suffer with Ibs, I really want to enjoy myself but am scared over indulgence in booze will make me I'll , any suggestions?

I had the same problem, what i did was take my tablets with me and if i felt i really needed them i would take them and not drink too much. Not eat anything spicy if possible and try my best not to eat too much.

Take a shed load of drugs instead.

I got it also pal.. Definitely avoid the spices & take Rennies etc..

That gaviscon liquid works a dream i find..

Booze ain't really had too much of an effect, think it's coz although you imbibe loads, it's over a sustained period..

And yeh, what yoghurt said..

Don't get yourself stuck in the middle of a big crowd

Get hold of some codeine if you can, bungs you up like nobody's business

[Pinhead]

Drop about 8mg Lopramide a day and and eat hardly anything - that should do it (does for me).

Iain Duncan-Smith? Oh, I see.

IDS is no laughing matter, causing misery for thousands of sick people across the country.

Don't eat too much wheat. Get yourself some nice veggie food. No spice!!!

My mrs suffers really badly, she packs loads of colpamin, bring peppermint teas for the morning and night then she gets through fine. .

You'll know your triggers anyway so treat it no different than at home.. Avoid the foods that set you off. Dont worry about the loos as there are shed loads and unless your in a busy area or near a changeover in bands theres not really any big queues.

Plus if you start to get pains then alcohols a good healer

Peppermint oil tabs for pain (serious issues here with Culpermin - it is nut-oil based. Seriously WTF?)

Unfortunately, avoid all those delicious highly-spiced dishes in favour of bland potato products.

Vodka.

Coke rather than MDMA..

Has this forum mellowed in the new year?

It seems advice on managing the irritability of ones bowels at a festival is more welcome here than the suggestion that (for example) Mumford and Sons were a worthy headliner.

Anyway, OP...apply your everyday coping strategy to the five days you are at Glastonbury. You'll be fine.

I haven't drunk day and night since I was a teenager, just thought I'd ask the question , I'm not going to let my Ibs spoil my first festival experience and will be taking all the meds I need to have a smashing good time , as a first timer I'm a little nervous and to those that think I'm spouting boring crap , I'm not trying to impress .

It's the "spouting crap" you'll want to avoid at glasto ;-)

I find going camping for some reason stops everything up for 2-3 days anyway - then you go up to the Flushables to curl the biggest length you've ever seen. Job done.
