Thanks. 
I hope to feel better by tomorrow. Not too sure why my tummy's upset today.  Could be a few factors: I tried a new recipe last night, started taking flax seed oil capsules, or the cinnamon bread I ate this morning. Sometimes, it's hard to tell?
Drinking lots of peppermint tea today.

it is SO hard to tell sometimes. That is what can be so annoying with IBS. You THINK you ate ok and then all of a sudden BOOM you're running to the bathroom. So frustrating to deal with.
I hope you have a btter day tomorroww. Hell, I hope you have a better afternoon/night.
Tina, whats flax seed oil for?

Wish me luck!!

Oh, that will be hard. Good luck. If she's your friend, tell her not to let you have a cigarette, no matter what you say!

I know. It's VERY annoying. Especially since I don't get many attacks anymore. I always carry Imodium in my purse, thank goodness. 
Thanks for your well wishes.

Flax seed oil..... Here's a quick list.
Just look at this list of facts and studies of what Flax Seed Oil can and may accomplish:
- Research shows low incidence of breast cancer and colon cancer in populations that have high amounts of lignan in their diet. Flax is 100 times richer in lignan than most whole grains.
- Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids help lower cholesterol and blood triglycerides, and prevent clots in arteries, which may result in strokes, heart attacks and thromboses.
- Helps protect the body against high blood pressure, inflammation, water retention, sticky platelets and lowered immune function.
- Increases the body's production of energy and also increases stamina.
- Accelerates the healing of sprains and bruises.
- Improves the absorption of Calcium.
- Strengthens finger and toenails.
- Helpful in the treatment of Eczema, Psoriasis, and Dandruff.
- Lowers high blood pressure in Hypertension sufferers.
- Has been scientifically proven to treat some cases of depression.
- Can relieve some cases of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) in females.
- And more...!

Well she said she wouldn't smoke in front of me...so that was super nice of her.
The last time I tried to quit smoking I told my friend not to give me a smoke if I asked for one...well I ended up asking for one of his smokes and he denied me of course and it turned into an all out brawl. He ended up with a bloody lip and I ended up smoking a whole pack.
Horrifying what smoking can do to you isn't it???

I'll try! 
Sorry to hear your stomach is bugging you today!! Is Flax Seed Oil found in a local drug store/health food store? Does it do anything for IBS?
