Members responded in large numbers to the question about whether those with RA also have IBS, with the overwhelming majority saying yes and many sharing that they have lived with it for decades. Several members offered helpful strategies including Imodium for flare-ups, the Align probiotic supplement, MiraLax, green smoothies with kale and mint, and identifying food triggers like gluten, dairy, and pectin.
