I've tried them all, and they all made me feel VERY ILL, i.e. nauseous/vomitting, etc.
My verdict re: natural A-D's Lifestyle stuff works most effectively, combined with MEDICALLY PRESCRIBED DRUGS. Hypno. is awesome, yoga, exercise, diet, etc.
I'm not wasting any more money natural herbal remedies.

Im not sure weather this will help at all but i went through depression and am off work with it, along with anxiety, panik attacks and stress. i was so reluctant to go on medication i marched myself off to the health food shop to see what natural replacements i could find. Eventually settling with the st johns wart - however this made me sick gave me more panik attacks - upset stomach the works which made me even more depressed. finally my doctor pursuaded me to give prescribed anti depressants a whirl - i sat there staring at the packet with tears rolling down my face wanting to feel better but scared of a) the side effects and b) admitting i needed the help of medication. anyway the night came i finally pursuaded myself it couldnt get any worse and took them, i admit the first 2 weeks were not so good with a bit of nausea and light headed feelings but they up'd my dose(i was only on half a tablet a night) to one tablet - now i sleep better i feel happier and have a feeling of being able to manage life i have no side effects atall.
One thing i think we need to remember about them is and im no doctor but anti depressants are there to help lift your mood giving you the ability to tackle your problems yourself. they are not a miricle cure(although at times to me they have been) also everyone is different and has different reactions to medications as with ibs we all suffer slightly different symptoms - try not to be dishearted if one doesnt work just keep trying eventually one will suit you. i was just lucky to find it in the first lot they gave me. Im on mertazapine not sure if they have that in the US but its worked for me. Hope i havent warbled on too much just trying to help xx

just started using 5htp, its great, yeah it sucks wasting money on supplments, Ive spent thousands....and thousands...
It makes u feel "nauses in wich most people get help for sort of feeling" wich isnt even a real nausea in my opinion compared to what I have felt in my past , for the first 6 weeks "nausea" then it goes away after. Just one pill in the AM and one at night is working wonders so far..
Having IBS can make us very anxiety ridden, and just miserable no matter how much we try not to be that way, stress relief, hypnosis, what ever, it doesnt work, but 5 htp does.
I dont know about D, ive been doing a different diet that I just am now going off for a couple of weeks to see what it does bieng off. But I do notice a great imporvment in my stress level load on my mind.
After all the brain down below also likes high levels of seratonin..
It helps with nightmares 2~!!!!
Yeah St J sucks for IBS.

"You are not sick, you are not sick, you are not sick, its all in your imagination, use your mind wich doesnt need your body and is completely seperate from it to erase all pain, and to erase all D....You are not Sick you are not Sick" Dont try to change the channel we are in control@!"@@!!!
Its a bacteria, and one day it will be proven and cured. I can give a thousand corelations to why its a infection just one that proves it all is how can cats and pets also get IBS? and wild animals wich have incredible stress not get it???!!!!!!! there are many other reasons besides that, Jones disease, etc etc..milk drinking countries and IBS/IBD etc etc..many many more....I wont do it in this message.
Untill then God have mercy on us.

Exactly,
Try a low fat Selective Carb Diet, Look up SCD online. im sure it will help starve off the bacteria that love causing all your pain.
Soon it will be proven that IBS in most people, most, are caused by MAP bacteria or something close.
I can give a thousand correlations to why and how. All medical research, polls, studies.
MAP bacteria just like the ulcer bacteria is found in people with and with out pain and inflamation. By genetics we let certian bugs give us hell, and others like ulcer bacteria it doesnt do anything to them.
~One day it will be proven.
Have Patients.
