Milk of Magnesia can be useful too.

Sparkle - has your GP not given you a Motillium-type medication? When I had IBS in the 1990s my GP gave me
Colpermin to ease upper gut wind as well as the above - each had to be taken within the hour of my main meals … which meant that I had to set the alarm initially
