Straw citizen, I am so sorry to hear that Effexor XR gave you a bad time. The search for relief from IBS is like finding a needle in a haystack, I know. Good luck to you in your search. 7Lil and...
I started Effexor XR a month ago and feel better than I have felt in many many years. I've had IBS pretty much all my life. Not diagnosed until 1999 as IBS. I've had two colonoscopies, an abdominal...
I have pretty good luck with sake. It's rice based, maybe that's why. I still pay for it a little but less than hard liquor or beer....
I'm taking All One Totally Fiber as well as FiberCon. The Totally Fiber has to be refrigerated and is a powder that you sprinkle on food, and the FiberCon is a tablet for when I'm away from home....
Zeba - I just got off the phone with a good friend and she just now told me about Primal Defense. Raved about it. I pay attention to coincidences. Thanks....
I knew of a girl once that would light her farts for fun. I understand it sent out quite a flame. So, don't take those farts too lightly. They are combustible!...
JHP, I question you eating the Nature Valley Bar and the honey barbecue chicken. Those things would absolutely rip me up. Especially if I was feeling bad already. I just went through a 4 day limited...
I would certainly sleep anytime anywhere and stay asleep till I was ready to get up. Hearty breakfast of waffles butter syrup eggs bacon and sooooooo much coffee. I live in Colorado so a nice brisk...
Wouldn't it be incredible to have a life where "poop" isn't such a major part of it?!?!?!?!?...
I guess, but the waiting time is a tough way to choose someone to take care of your health, isn't it? At this point, I'm not sure if it's the area of expertise or the individual that you might find...
Can you take too many fiber supplements in a day? If you do, what happens?...
Thanks for your warning, Keriamom, but quite frankly I've had 3 G.I.'s, and they were pretty much Here's the scope, well you don't have cancer, then "IBS" and then it's goodbye! It is a fact that...
Please forgive if this posts twice. I sometimes lose my connection on this forum. (?) I have not tried antidepressants and have read about them in this forum. I have an extremely negative...
I'm not sure an enema would even begin to help. My gastro doctor did NOT recommend enemas of any kind. At the time I had been through a series of colon irrigations. Did nothing. In fact, once after a...
Ok I've gone through 4 days of Heather's soluable diet and it did work. I added All One Totally Fiber and Udo's Choice Super 8 Hi-Potency Probiotic. For two days my guts have been almost quiet, just...
Ive been told that psycillium (sp?) husks are way too strong for me and that many people struggle with it. My doctor recently told me about All One Totally Fiber. Got it at Vitamin Cottage. It's a...
Just read yesterday, again, a book that talks about eating for IBS. So, I ate nothing but soluable fiber yesterday, pasta, french bread, lots of peppermint tea... Prior to yesterday I've had an...
No I haven't been tested for fructose intolerance so far. I'll put that on the list although I really don't want to know the results of that one. I'm sure I already know. According to Heather Van...
7Lil - I have been colonoscopied, cat scannned, sonagramed, x-ray, poked, prodded, you name it. Always comes out the dreaded "IBS". I found myself before both colonoscopies hoping they would find...
I'm on an anti spasmodic now. I take it as needed. The time release version of it made me dry as dust and I started coughing a lot. The anti spasmodic worked like a miracle for a whoe week!!!! Now I...
My parents had a horrible marriage and did not mind arguing violently in front of their children. Their favorite battleground was the dinner table! So I spent my very young life struggling with a...
Along with barely being able to eat or drink, I can't sleep. My pain gets worse when I lay down. I can usually fall asleep in the evening but within 2 hours I wake up with that hard deep cramp that...
Hello lolaann - I've just started going to a chiropractor (2nd one) to see if I can get some relief. I had x-rays done and sure enough I have some disc compression and bone spurs in the area of the...
