Sorry for not posting in forever.... I've been working 40-70 hours/week in the theatre-- will thankfully finish on Sunday and resume the search for a lower stress job.
For three and a half weeks, after having been in the hospital for a colonoscopy, miserable for close to nine years, I have been IBS symptom free thanks to a soluble fiber diet (for the most part) and a new powdered vitamin supplement and fiber supplement (that includes probiotics) from a company called RELIV.
The RELIV products are based on the philosophy that if we have dietary restrictions as so many of us with IBS do, our bodies are not getting the proper nutrition, and therefore are needing certain nutrients we have trouble getting in food sometimes because of food allergies and restrictions to keep from triggering our disease.
I was skeptical. Extremely so. And the woman I am staying with while I finish my 5 week contract is an RN. She handed me the bottle of powder, told me to take it twice a day with another supplement for fiber, and I would feel better.
In under a week and a half, I reduced my IBS related medications-- Bentyl and Paxil to half and cut Protonix (for acid reflux) in half as well, stopped all Immodium when I'd been taking 8 or more a week the 2 weeks before I started the RELIV and I've never felt better.
I still take 1 T of Acacia once a day, but otherwise, I have been wonderful. I have more energy, I'm sleeping better, and I can't believe how little I worry about getting sick!
I'm not saying this is a "dream cure" but in conjunction with Heather's diet guidelines, it can make a huge difference.
If you'd like more information you can email me. Just look at my profile and dash me a message or post a reply and I will field what questions I can.... I'm dying to let people know so they can start feeling better because you've all been such a help to me.
All best,
Karen =)
