Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Linz - have a ? for you       #156926 - 03/04/05 07:21 AM Edit Reply Quote NikkiM Reged: 02/19/05 Posts: 46 Loc: Albany, NY I read in one of your posts that it took you 6 months to stabilize. Did you see positive results before then, and it just took you that long to completely stabilize? Also, do you take probiotics? Thank you for your help!

I saw positive improvement after just a few days but I had severe IBS at that point so it took a good while to get stable. I DIDN'T take probiotics but do now, mainly cos of other health problems on top of the IBS.

I had heard that yours was this bad, if not worse, that is why I was asking you...I guess looking for some positive encouragement that this CAN be controlled!

And now have about 1 a month tops from CHEATING! Daily Immodium is very helpful in stabilizing with D as you need to get your body to reset. Also be very very cautious with IF until you are stable.
