Anyone suffering from IBS and have experience with Huel (and maybe Huel bars as well)? It is believed that 10-15% of people in the developed world is affected by this, including me
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of symptoms—including abdominal pain and changes in the pattern of bowel movements without any evidence of underlying damage.

Stick with it and I hope it settles down for you too!
I’m a new-ish Huel user, I’m at the end of my 4th bag 2nd order and ~5th week. I normally have an extremely fragile gut… I’ve played around with a few things and have gotten to a good place where my system is in sync with the inclusion of Huel my diet. I find Huel is more disruptive when taken by itself, in large qty (more than 3 scoop servings) and without an almost equal qty of water.
It takes some adjustments, but can be done stomach disruption free.
Hi guys,
So I have been using Huel for the past 3 months or so and I love the convenience, like the taste (2 scoops unflavoured and 1 scoop vanilla per 500ml) however it has always given me bowel problems

I have IBS, as stated in a previous post, drinking Huel as a lunchtime replacement has completely stopped my symptoms, no more painful bowed spasms. I now have a normal functioning bowel, no more medication.
