Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Please I am desperate for any suggestions

Well, luckily I haven't gotten them too often. The most severe were when I had food-poisoning and then the first evenings of trying two different SSRIs. What happened then is that they were accompanied by vomiting eventually and d which were relentless. I basically either sat on the bowl or in a keeled over position holding my stomach.

Since I've been on the diet, I have gotten that pressure/pain near the rectum and pulsating/spasms only during attacks which have been few and far between until this month which I'm assuming are totally a result of my anxiety. That goes away after I take some acacia and work through it.

Other times I have gotten terrible gas pains and for that I do the usual...Gas-X, laying on my stomach (heard that that helps push the gas out), some yoga positions, and recently I've been trying Fennel seed capsules. Do you drink peppermint or fennel tea? I would imagine that would help but I don't like tea.

It seems that for me at least, my pain has been reduced by both intensity and duration since I found this site. Even though it stinks when it happens, I am always grateful for that and remember that hopefully it will never be as bad as it had been. I hope you are feeling better.
