severe pain from the intestinal spasms can cause nausea, cold sweats, vomiting, even loss of consciousness
Oh my, I never realized it could cause these other symptoms. This explains my nausea!

Cyndy, I wish you luck with the Phillips. I am not the first person to have luck with this one. I started seeing results right away, with none of the bloating or gas associated with others.
I stayed on Align a good six months, and I saw no difference whatsoever, so I couldn't see continuing on with it.
I hope Phillips works for you!

) Some patients develop symptoms of irritability of the other organs. Thus, they can develop irritable oesophagus, irritable rectum and irritable heart syndrome (theoretically even irritability of small bowel has been described).
Irritable e oesophagus leads to chest pain, burning and other symptoms of upper abdominal dyspepsia. The irritable rectum can lead to severe urgency of stool or unproductive call to the toilet which becomes a nuisance. Irritable heart patients develop symptoms of palpitations, dyspnoea and cardiac neurosis and often land up with a cardiologist.

I have taken both Philips and Align, and neither one is the miracle I hoped it would be. Philips I took for about 4 months, and Align for a year. I'm now taking a Flora Smart probiotic, and I actually think it's doing more for me than either of the first two.

No, that's the pain of it all! When someone posts something that helps, I get all motivated about it, but then get discouraged when someone writes in that it didn't do a thing for them.  I wish everyone reacted the same to things....it would make this so much easier to figure out. 
Anyhow, before I read this post I went out and bought some Phillips Colon Health, so I will try it starting today. Wish me luck!

Just wondering why Dr Whorwell is so recognized, does he help a lot of people with IBS? It seems odd though that Julie is being told to eat berries and milks?? Also, why does he put milk protein in the Align, is there a reason for that. Couldn't that cause problems in some? Does he have a different approach to IBS other than the diet we talk about here?
