Sooooooo happy to have found this wonderful website! Was diagnosed with "spastic colon" 30 years ago but just continued to eat everything I loved and suffer the IBS-d. Started having cramps last September with constipation, which I haven't had since childhood. Had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with diverticulosis and IBS. Have been drinking your peppermint tea and taking the capsules. Have just ordered your book and the Acacia fiber. Have high cholesterol (runs in family) and can't take statins (nor would I) so am on prescription Omega-3s which cause alot of heartburn and burping. Still bloated and crampy and have now been told I need to watch my blood sugar as it is climbing. Have read so many of your articles, but not sure what to do or eat at this point, as all the IBS foods are bad for the pre-diabetes. I am a carb-lover, and have switched to mostly Sourdough bread. I love meat and cheese and beans, as I have a huge garden where I grow tons of fresh veggies tomatoes and dried beans, and now don't know what to do! I am confused and uncertain and frustrated. Have been healthy and active all my life, and now, at 66, I feel like I have failed somewhere! Take enzymes with each meal and a probiotic once a day, as well as Tumeric and vitamins D and B, magnesium, COQ10 and Glucosamine.
