Pages: 1 Has anyone tried "IBX: Soothing Bowel Formula"?       #167588 - 04/06/05 10:57 AM Edit Reply Quote e_mcmaster Reged: 01/16/05 Posts: 520 Loc: Norman, Oklahoma I had seen it at my HFS a few times before but now I am just so desperate, I'll do anything. I wanted to see if you all knew anything about it or had tried it before. It's ingredients are: Rhubarb (root extract) Myrobaian (fruit extract) Ginger (rhizome extract) Peppermint (leaf) Elecampane (root extract) Aloe (leaf gel extract) It says that it might not be good for IBS-D because Rhubarb can act like a laxative, but I have C, so I'm hoping it'll be good. I'll be awaiting your responses.

Any idea what the Myrobaian and Elecampane are?

I doubt it will hurt anything to give it a try! Let us know if you try it and how it affects you! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

They're laxatives, and could really end up making things worse instead of better. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

Do you know if they are safe laxatives?
