Yesterday morning I woke up without cramping, nausea, painful gas and a feeling of dread that ahead of me was another day of suffering with IBS that had greatly affected my life for the past 7 years and was getting progressively worse! I have been under the care of a Gastroenterologist for that many years and was so disappointed when all she did was hand me brochures on fiber and a prescription for Bentyl, an antispasmodic drug that she said I could take 4 times a day if needed! She had nothing else to offer me. I turned 70 in December and I knew that I could not continue living this way ... time was flying by quickly ... I found this website and read every word that Heather wrote carefully. What did I have to lose by purchasing a can of Acacia fiber and giving it a try ... printed out the lists of foods and posted them on my frig. I started with 1/4 tsp twice a day and drinking 64 ounces of water a day - I keep a food and water log every day now too. I am SO grateful, Heather, to you that words cannot express how I feel both physically and emotionally. I have purchased the Hynosis tape from you as well as your cookbook that is on its way to me now. My system will never be what it used to be when I was a young woman but nothing ever stays the same in this life. Your website is a lifesaver. Thank you so very much.
