Not good for the tummy...especially if you have D. Here's a link to describe it. Mannitol

Amanda, It's an artificial sweetener that's a trigger for a
lot of IBSer's. I see that Beth mentions it's also got
soribtol, I didn't catch that. Sorbitol is another artificial
sweetener that really tends to irritate D's particularly.

I mean...it just seems odd to put a sweetener into a pill. I'm not tasting the pill! Oh well, luckily I don't take it that often at all. Good to know what's in it though! Thanks guys!

I think with the double whammy in it I'll pass for the time
being. I don't mind burping and farting that much. -Bob

One product doesn't contain both, I don't think. I think one contains mannitol and the other contains sorbitol...but I'm not positive.
I think I remember an old post where Heather said the benefits of beano outweigh the mannitol. But that was just assuming it was a dose of 2 tablets, at the most.

Oh, wait a minute, you mean there are *two* types of beano?
I didn't catch that either. Gotta run now, time to go home
and take the dog out. -Bob

hi recovering ED girls,
I am also someone who got IBS because of an ED. I just thought you might want to know that a few of us tried to start up a separate chat group to deal specifically with the ED/IBS tangle of issues. It was a Yahoo group called "nopoop". It lasted for a couple of months but didn't seem to keep going for whatever reason. If you are interested in posting there I'd love to continue this discussion. If not, it might still be worthwile for you to read some of the posts there, as they address many of the issues you've raised.
I agree, it is a very tough web to break out of - to get over your ED you are supposed to be "listening to your cravings" and letting go of control, yada yada, but because of the IBS you simply CAN'T.
And I am also not sure about whether we have IBS the same way as other people do. What are your thoughts on this? Do you think we can become stable through diet alone (like Heather's diet)? I am basically following Heather's but am certainly far from stable.
I think, though, that the hardest thing ahout our situation is the feeling of blaming yourself for having caused it. To that end, I think it is critical to FORGIVE yourself. This isn't easy, but I think it is important unless you want a miserable life. Regret and remorse can really eat away at your spirit. I find myself constantly trying to reminding myself that I am only human, we all make mistakes. The important thing is that you are doing the best with the cards in your hand now.
So I just wanted to say, I hear you, it's tough, but don't be too hard on yourself - you've got enough on your plate with the ED and the IBS, you don't need the guilt and blame too! Take care of yourselves, girls!
--------------------
IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.
