Pages: 1 Will soma make me C?       #212152 - 09/09/05 05:40 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota I stay away from sleeping pills but what about soma? -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

I learned this when I had oral surgery and was given morphine...demerol...etc. Also when I took vicodin after a car wreck. I can "look" at a pill and become "C" so it may just be that I am uber-sensitive. -------------------- Have a blessed day!...Rachel stable and sooooooo thankful! I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

Reb Reged: 07/09/05 Posts: 987 Loc: Lake Linden, Mich in the U.P. IBS-C Hi Minnie, Try melatonin! After I read that thread on it, I went out and got some(3mg tablets). It works well! Also, it's supposedly very good for you. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     but what is it for?       #212285 - 09/10/05 06:21 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota I need muscle relaxers for a severe muscle thing going on in my back and all midsection!
