Thanks again for your speedy responses. I am going to pick up some fennel tea on my way home. I remember that it used to work for me before I got pregnant.

I am leery of taking Zelnorm, just because of what I've heard second-hand. I'm going to check out that article link and bring it into my doctor. He seemed hell-bent on Zelnorm being the only remedy for me. I asked if this was something that I would need to take indefinitely, and he said "yes", then went on to say "well, you're only supposed to take it for eight weeks, but not one of my patients would be willing to be taken off of it after that period of time. They felt such relief."

Heather, what do you know about 5-HTP? I will do a search on the Web and this Web site when I have more time, but I was curious as to what you have read/heard about it.

I've tried the Ginger tea and it gave me really bad heartburn. But, I have found this product called Ginger Wonder (or something similar) and it tastes great and does not give me heartburn.

As I said in my original post, I'm on day 60 of the hypnotherapy and I have high hopes for relief from that. Hopefully, having this baby will help lessen the IBS symptoms. I feel that my symptoms lean more toward pain/bloating than constipation. But, I'm guessing that I have the pain/bloating from being constipated — and from this little boy trying to make a temporary home for himself while he's growing. :0)

Thanks again. I SO appreciate all the information that I have learned on these boards.
