Hi Clifton,

How long have you had IBS-D? How often do you have D attacks now? Very seldom I hope!!

In 2008 I tried acupuncture and Chinese herbs and got some relief, so I may go that route again soon!

I am also thinking of going on an antidepressant, Zoloft. Have you been taking one?

Have you tried the hypnosis tapes? I am thinking of trying those.

Are you on any medications? At what age did your IBS start. Mine started in 2008 when I was 59 years old. I really feel badly for folks who get this when they are young and trying to build a career, family and a life!

Thanks for replying to my post! I hope I didn't ask too many questions for ya!

Have a great day and thanks for the uplifting post!

Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. IBS went into remission. IBS returned in late July 2013 after taking 2 oral contrasts for a CT scan for cancer follow up. Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.
