I was wondering if anyone here has their IBS under control yet? Mine doesn't seem like it will ever get under control. Everyday is so painful and uncomfortable I feel like I'm dying. It's THAT severe. I think I probably got IBS from 2 eating disorders I had from the past or from one of the eating disorders. They really strained my digestive tract. Also herbs strained my digestive tract. I took 2 herbs b4 in capsule form months and months ago that I wasn't suppose to take but I didn't know it at the time and it made me REALLY sick. I'd rather be dead than have this. It's ruining my life.
p.s. Please don't ask me if I'm sure I have IBS. I already know I do.
Thanks
God Bless

Hi,
My main IBS symptoms of bloating, gas and painful muscle spasms are under control most of the time and have been for the past couple of months. Any time the IBs flares up it is because I am still experimenting with different foods. A couple of days ago I tried a food which contains a small amount of lactose and since then I've had a bit of extra gas, but no pain or bloating. By sticking to those foods I know to be safe I can guarantee that everything will be back to normal in a day or two.
This afternoon I have to go out for about 3 hours, yet I feel no anxiety. 12 months ago it was a very different matter indeed!!!
I'm sorry you're not getting the same level of success and just wish there was something I could suggest that would help you.
Best wishes.
Ian

Just curious Angel - what kind of tests have you done and are you taking any medication?
Hope you are feeling better soon.

My name is Michelle Cochran and I was diagnosed with IBS in February of 2002. I was given some prescriptions to help deal with the problem but unless I took the medication 45 minutes before I ate each time, they really did not do me much good. I basically had to keep a supply of chewable Immodium Tablets on hand because I never knew when I would need them. I am a teacher and after lunch was a rough time for me. Numerous times I had to make a "mad dash" to the bathroom. I got to the point that I really hated to eat out because I felt like all I could eat was grilled chicken to keep form having an upset stomach. In January of 2003, I was introduced to the Relìv products by a friend who had been taking them to help her with her fibromyalgia and her detoxification from Morphine. She went through her detox in a very short period and not to mention the friend I knew that had to stay at home in bed all the time because of pain was no longer having any pain. She said she also had IBS and no longer had any problems. I knew I needed to try it. Relìv has worked for me and I can now go out to eat and not worry about what to order. I order what I want! If you would like to talk to me about the Relìv products or your problems with IBS in general please feel free to give me a call at 706-290-0494, and if I don't answer please leave a message and I promise I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you and God Bless.

Welcome to the board, but since this is your first post and it looks suspiciously like you're soliciting for sales for a product, we really need to have detailed info from you. What is Reliv? How does it help IBS? Can you reference clinical studies to support its use? Please post weblinks for the product and information.
Thanks,
Heather

I had them all. I take Dictel. It helps but not enough. I'd rather be dead. I don't go a week without crying it's so unbearable.

Don't give up! There has to be a solution. I'm sure you have heard lots of stories from others; I imagine they all result in the same out come...Perseverance and self-control.
I was ignored and missed diagnosed by Navy doctors for 15 years, even to the point of being sent to Germany, Philadelphia, and Virginia. (The Navy's best experts). I got to the point where I would only eat four things for the last 6 years. Grits for breakfast, Ham sandwich for lunch and Chicken or Fish for dinner. Then my Angel (my Wife!) found Heather's books/diet. It took several weeks of Rice, Toast, and pasta for me to get stable. I have been "Normal" for 3 months. I am off ALL the useless drugs after fifteen years! Praise GOD for that!!!
So just keep looking towards GOD and Heather's recipes

Angel this is his Angel speaking now!
Please don't give up. As a wife I have watched my husband suffer for 13 years of our married life. I have always loved to cook as I come from and Italian and French back ground with 3 wild immigrant grannies in the kitchen! In our family Love is food. Imagine knowing that whatever you cook for the person you love is going to make him sick sooner or later. We have continued to persist through the years and have finally found the help we've been praying for. To watch him suffer has been just as difficult because I could not fix it for him. But NOW I HAVE FUN IN THE KITCHEN! And he's so much better.
Get to know what you can eat, and eat that if it works. Be very strict with soluable foods at first. Keep trying and don't give up hope. God knows the plans he has for you, plans for a future and hope. You are his daughter and he loves you more than can be expressed in words. I don't know why He has let us experience this wicked disorder, but I know that he hears us when we cry and captures our tears. That which does not destroy us only makes us stronger so we can help others. So the best we can do is encourage each other as we walk out our salvation with fear and trembling. Our family will pray for you, if you want to talk email us. In His Service, Michaela Leonard

I'm glad your better now. I've been on Heather's diet for several months and my IBS is still severe. If death was an option I would chose it in a second. I can't even function daily like a normal person.
