I am glad people attended and it helped. Its a lot of work for them to put them on and they do it for us for free. That is something else in itself. I will post the next one when it comes up. I am suggesting one on pain and pain pathways to them for the future as well.
Good to see helpforibs people there;)

so if the multivitami was really as good as it said then it would have the fda's approval?
There are different issues for OTC's.
Your body will absorb what it needs and dicard the rest. Taking them in general is what it is and some companies say that to get you to buys their's and there is some trues and half truths involved in it all.
Take a one a day or centrum. They are much cheaper. You can buy expensive ones if you want. Again though if its not just vitamins, do one thing at a time. One herb say at a time and tell your doctor.
Iron and some vitamins can be hard on the gut, take them with a meal, if one brand bother's you try another.
On the protein try the papaya or eat natural papaya, its good for you and helps break down protein. And its cheap and has the chlorophyll in it which can help with smelly gas perhaps. Its cheaper for sure.
Hgh amounts of fruit juice can be a problem.
"Even more naturally, people who consume a large amount of fruits, juices or other processed foods enriched with fructose, can get diarrhea because it is not as easily absorbed by the bowel and goes to the colon where it pulls in water."
http://www.ibshealth.com/ibsfoods2.htm
For c IBS this might actually helps some. But d or alternating it could be probelamtic.
IBS doesn't cause malabsorbtion and in digestioning foods, it does't interput that process, so eat a well balanced diet and try to figure out trigger foods for you and use the suggestions from Heathers book. Foods are absorbed in the stomach, IBS is mainly a problem of the sigmnoid colon, large intestines. Foods are already digested at that point.

aperson, I also asked the question for you.
" I take my birth control pill (ortho tryclean lo) when I wake up in the morning,I get up at 9-9:30am everyday,always before 10 anyway..If I started taking this about an hour before bedtime do you think this would have any effect,possibly positive on my ibs?"
"Dr. Drossman: Shanw Eric, not sure why taking the pill would cause a problem, the hormone in the pill may have an effect"
He can say if it what effect it could have on you personally either way, negatively or positively.

aperson, I can't really comment on those vitamins. I did notice they had magnesium stearate in them and magnesium can cause d.
Other then that can't really say anything about them.
I still say take an a-z vitamin.
On the slippery elm, I can't really comment either, someone else with more herbal knowledge might be able to help you. One thing is look at the source of the product and buy them from a reputable source.
did you read the article on posted on digestive enzyme's?
also Herbal PDR
