hello everyone,

i just joined. i am Denise, 49 from Oshawa Ontario Canada.

i have had IBS for too long to recall exactly. at least 10 years or more.

i have id'd what causes me to run and to have accidents in public places but still need to id other culprits.

i can say that the remedy called Physillium Seed Husks works wonderful for me. if not fot it i would not be able to leave the house and i would have accidents all over my home too.

even with the husks if i eat cheese or drink too much milk i can have accidents. not always but lots of times.

the husks can be bought at the shoppers drug mart here in Ontario or at the local health food store. NOTE i cant use anything but in husk form. comes in other form but dont recall what it is called.

i take 2 tablespoons first thing in morn and then 3 tablespoons last thing at night with plenty of water to send it down.

my bowel movements can still be very soft sometimes with this remedy but usally NO runs. i also take immodium when going out and when i have accidents at home so as not to soil my surrounding. lol. i sound like a pet dog. no offense meant.

look forward to reading all the posts. Denise:)

I'm glad that works for you. There are a number of people here who have found that physillum husks really help them.

Have you seen us mention Caltrate 600 w/ vitamin D for diarrhea? It's an OTC calcium supplement that is just naturally constipating. A lot of people use it in addition to their daily dose of fiber or other meds.

Hi Denise,
Welcome to HealingWell! :-)
Thank you for sharing what works for you. Too many people out there wondering what to try and how to get it... Thanks for reiterating fiber.
Looking forward to your posts...

Here's the post about Calcium.

Psyllium is actually one of the ingredients in the "prodiem" fibre supplement pills that I take. I could very well be in metamucil as well, I don't know because I've never checked, but it wouldn't surprise me.
