Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi
I read your posting with great interest. I am new to this forum and have suffered in silence for years hoping it will go away. My biggest problem at the moment is sleepless nights-for some unknown reason my gut ties itself up just when I want to go to sleep and often can keep me awake for hours mainly because of the discomfort which also gives me backache. I lie in bed thinking dark thoughts and trying to relax. My husband is very caring but even he finds a flatulent weepy wife a bit much! I get terribly anxious because nobody else that I know understands what I go through. Who wants to discuss painful constipation! Fennel tea has also been a godsend but I find that peppermint caps work in the short term but my bad gut seems to get used to everything I try. I have also been for hynotherapy-did not work as the person became irritated that my condition didnt improve despite her best efforts. I hope I am using this message board correctly. Any ideas jout there?
