Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Why am I having IBS?

Everyone is different with their IBS. In the beginning for me it was a lot of trial and error. You will find that some foods on the IBS trigger list you may be able to tolerate and others you cannot. Eventually you will find what works for you and what doesn't. You're Grandpa is correct stress can play a big part in IBS it's not all of it but it does definitely have an effect. Something you can try if you are stressed is some of Heather's tummy teas. I'm stable now with my IBS but if I feel stressed or If I do happen to have a bad IBS day for whatever reason I'll drink Heather's peppermint Tummy tea or you can buy peppermint teas in the grocery store just make sure you get a caffeine free one. I like the brand Bigelow mint medley herb tea (buy at Wal-Mart). Heather's fennel tea is great if you are bloated or gassy. I've just recently started drinking a tea by Tazo called "CALM" it's a blend of different Herbs I got this at Wal-Mart too but I think it's a brand that Starbucks offers too. These are some things you can do to help with stress. Once you figure out a diet that works for you and find ways to manage feeling stressed you'll be feeling better in no time. Be patient it'll get better.
