I've been IBS-D & lactose intollerant for 17 years. Not one prescription drug worked for me, just too many side effects. Gastroenterologists and the medical profession know zilch on how to treat IBS-A,C & D. BUT the peppermint capsules, peppermint tea, the product GasStop, calcium 1000mg + Vit. D, and most of all the book Eating for IBS and the great IBS Audio 100 tapes were a godsend. Life is good! CMB

Maria!Maria!
Yes, I found the levsin just didn't work as well this time, too jittery and unfortunately I am that ridiculous type A personality, so I"m naturally spastic. I need NO caffeine, I hate it. I am willing to try the Librax again for now, as I posted before my husband is going in for some major surgery tomorrow and I can't be anxious, as we IBS-Ders all know that I'll be crapping and cramping all day. Must be strong!! I love rice Chex and I love to make the rice krispie treats with rice chex, yummy, love pasta and potatoes. Do you do well with sweet potatoes, I love them. I have never tried rice crackers, do you live in the US? IF so what is a good brand? I love the basamatic sp? rice, love the smell, it's almost like popcorn smell....
I drink no pop at all and just tea and water with acacia in it. I am gradually going to up my Acacia, I use that and citrucel caplets. Which has been working well, but I feel I need to up my does of SFS. Thanks again for the help!!

How often do you take lorazepam and how much? I have 1.0 mg tablets which I take only half of if needed which had been maybe 3 times a month. But lately I have been so stressed out and getting some d again (after being stable since February) and I want to take it more often but I'm afraid I'll get addicted. I'm seeing my doc in two weeks so I'll discuss it with her but I would appreciate your input. Last time I was there she said that it comes in 1.5 and 2.0 quantities also and some people take it daily UNTIL an anti-anxiety pill kicks in. BUT I'm already taking lexapro 10mg daily so I guess I feel like I shouldn't need to take that much? Your thoughts? THANKS

I just take it a couple of times a month now (usually .5 - 1 mg)and when I go flying. Usually, it's for panic attacks, since I don't get the really bad IBS attacks anymore. I've never taken it for more than two days in a row because I'm also worried about getting dependent on it. My doctor said that I'd have to take it regularly for about a month to become dependent on it, which is different from addiction, but I still don't want to rely on it for everything, you know? Anxiety is part of life, it's just the really bad panic attacks that I need to stop.
I think I've probably been suffering from panic attacks since I was 17, but didn't seek any type of help for it until I was 28. I spent a lot of time trying to hide it from people and treat it naturally...I just wish I had asked for a doctor's help because I missed out on a lot in life. Also, I think part of it was due to having lupus and flare-ups in my IBS when the lupus flared but having no diagnosis. Very frustrating, stressful time!
I think if you need to take it for a while and you're under a doctor's supervision, you should be fine. I would just recommend taking the minimum dose to get you through the day/event.

I use symax duo tabs.(It is duo because of a fast acting and then a slow released med.) I aslo have syax fast tabs. You disolve them under your tongue for cramping/spasm while out or before your next dose. These seem to help. I also drink pepperment tea.

Hi Syl, that link is really interesting. I have two questions I'm not sure if you can help,
Would sweet potatoes also have resistant starch? and,
would red lentils be as good as brown lentils?
Thanks in advance; I know it sounds super picky!!
Cheers
Jodie
