Hi Anne,
Just to say a big thankyou for your warm welcome to the boards and your input about MOM!
I bought some this morning and it helped to sooth me in 15 mins!
As you say ~ we're all different and what works for one person may not work for another. I live with M.E./C.F.S. and have learnt this well and truly. I've tried many supplements that have worked wonders for others ~ and completely messed me up!
MOM was good today anyway ~ and I'm encouraged!
A soothed colon makes for a soothed mind as well! In acupuncture there's a definate correlation between the two!
Thanks again, and best regards,
Joanna

Hallo Hopeful,
How AWFUL to be 'stuck' for a week! Was this after starting a diet with increased IF?
Have a look at the other replies I got and hopefully there'll be some useful info in there for you as well?
Good luck, and let's hope we both get moving soon!!!!!!!!

It says that this product is for weight loss as well? So, there is no harmful things in it like there are in diet pills are there? Would it make you lose weight? ..Because I don't think I can afford to lose any more weight.
I am interested in the product, however, and I would like for you to keep us posted if you can. Thanks!

Hi there:
I am looking @ the box because you had asked about if it contains any of those bad things that diet pills have. It states that it does NOT contain: stimulants, caffeine, ephedra (herbal name is Ma-Hwang), senna or laxatives. It is 100% Chinese herbs.
My doctor's office, which does traditional and wellness programs, were the ones who gave me samples of this first to try. I used it for about 5 days, saw great results, and then came back to order a box.
I personally don't agree with their angle (baebbe's, that is) that this is a weight-loss product, that seems a bit gimmicky to me. I am guessing that the weight loss comes from losing the toxins and build-up that stays in your colon over time. My waist has gotten smaller but that is only because I am less bloated.
I don't think I would have bought the box unless I had tried the samples first. This whole IBS issue is so emotional for all of us and each time we try something that may make our days and nights easier, there is an emotional reaction that occurs. I can't tell you how many times i have cried out of sheer frustration that I can't figure why my body reacts so adversely to things. So suffice to say, I am cautious to suggest any product or path because I don't want you to get your hopes up and then get let down. Alternatively, we all need to share our ideas so that we don't feel alone and even better, we may find a suggestion that can significantly help us.
Sorry for rambling; please let me know if you have any more questions on the baebbe product or if you have any other ideas for constipation. I'll keep you posted over time on how this works for me.

Thank you! I would love to be updated on your progress with this herbal product. It seems promising. My hopes don't usually increase about any new drugs, but I usually become very interested when I here /real/ success stories about them.
Thank you very much for mentioning this product. I may try it if I feel the need.

Sorry Hopeful ~ I don't know if you'll get this, but in my last reply I should have asked you whether you are more stuck since increasing SF not IF.
Oh dear ~ my brain has collapsed...........
Regards......

Hallo again Sue,
I'm always several hours behind postings because am in the UK!
I looked at the baebbe website, and saw the weight loss sales talk. I'm glad that Alli asked you about it as I was going to. I don't want to lose more weight at the moment either.
I don't know about trying all these new herbs in one go, but I notice you mention they do samples, and so I'll ask them about this.
Have you had any adverse side effects at all?
We are all so different that in the end one just has to try something out and see if it works or not.
Acupuncture worked very well for me, and I also have a long history of using enemas ~ both coffee and water. I don't want to go back down that road on a regular basis if I can avoid it.
I have a lot of respect though for chinese herbs, so will reflect on baebbe.
Look after yourself,
Joanna (Lorien)

Personally, I'm not familiar with chinese herbs, but I am interested in this product, although I am not planning to try it anytime soon. I would not recommend this to just anyone, but before I usually start the ibs diet, I usually fast or 'detox' for a number of days to allow my system to clean or flush itself. This makes it easier for me to start. It occured to me, after visiting that website for the second time, that the weight loss probably isn't exactly body fat, but maybe it just refers to the wastes, ect in your intestines that need to be flushed out because I don't think I see any igredients that can help you lose actual body fat. (Although I'm not familiar with diet pills, so I guess I wouldn't know.)

As a first step, try going to the "IBS News & Reviews" at the top of the page, and look at Heather's newsletters. She's had several about constipation.
