Hmmm...I just started taking it again, and remembered why I love it...but I always used at least two, sometimes even three tablets. I get pretty painful gas from most everything (like you, Amanda, I'm a recovered/recovering anorexic), and three seems to be just about right for me...never thought about the side effects, but I've had no bad reactions to it that I know of. I recommend just using your judgment, and the trial and error method. Hope they work for you!

I am always beating myself for "doing this to myself". I can't seem to forgive myself for giving myself this horrible condition. I did this to me! 
I don't know if people with ED and IBS will ever find relief with just the diet. That is my greatest fear. Have you gotten any better with this diet? Are you still hurting and symptomatic everyday? Does a SFS help you (us) too?
Maybe we would be better off just eating anything we wanted if we are going to be in pain anyhow? 
I just can't believe I treated my body, the body God created, a sacred gift from God....with the abuse and stupid behavior. Honestly...I never thought this would be my life. I didn't choose to have the ED...so why am I still being punished for the rest of my life for this mistake?
I'm really down about this. How can I live with this pain for the rest of my life? Will anything reverse the damage?

It's your choice re: how to live. I choose the present.
It's up to you how you decide to nourish yourself, today & all the todays hereafter.
Yes, we are limited by our capacity to accept/absorb nutrients. IBS also impacts our choices. HOWEVER, if a silly product eases a monster-load of food related stress/pain, then I am going to continue to use it & painlessly enjoy vitamin & mineral rich vegetables.
Kate, IBS-D.

Do you take Beano whenever you eat anything? Snacks or meals without veggies? If so, how many when with those foods vs the veggies?
Thanks

I understand what you are saying. But, the problem is when the past behavior causes pain and consequences in the present. I no longer eat in an Eating Disorder mode or mind set...but I am constantly reminded of my past with the symtptoms I continue to feel in the present. And Beano doesn't "cure" all the pain and symptoms I have now. It doesn't even touch the pain.

Hey Sweetheart, I can understand Renee's post making you cry,
20 yrs. of anorexia must've been pure hell. However, like you
said you have beaten the ED, and as Kate said you have to look
ahead. You have an excellent GI doc who's very pro active,and
we're all here for you! I think there's a good chance Dr.J's
new pain pill will work for you. When does the program start?
Soon, I hope. Has the Buspar been helping any? Keep up the
hope! Big {{HUGS}}. -Bob

Hi Devan, It's a digestive enzyme that prevents gas production
. So in that way, it gets rid of gas. I think charcoal tablets
just work on gas already present. -Bob

Beth, I know! I am so sorry, too. Is therapy an option for the psycho-spiritual stuff? E.D.'s are insults to the gut (I know, too, from my past!) and the vortex of suffering still gives me more than nightmares!
I guess, what I am trying to say is you cannot change the facts of what the body deals with presently, but there are options/tools/aids available.
It's hard to live with the realities of bodily damage. There are things we cannot change, however there are ways to effectively manage them.
Kate, IBS-D.

I know you were directing the question at Beth, however, I take Buspar & it helps me enormously. I've been on it for over a year.
Alternative therapies, i.e. hypno. can be very helpful for mind/body E.D. issues.
Kate, IBS-D.
