Just so y'all know ya gotta be careful and every new thing is an experiment: in addition to extreme diligence and care with my diet, from this venue I've tried acacia fiber and peppermint oil capsules separately and weeks apart. Both made me incredibly worse and miserable until stopping them. Perhaps the non-specific carboydrate factor/complex molecular chain structure of the acacia fiber and of the soy in the capsules. But then again, who knows?

I can not do soy it makes things worse for me.And any peppermint sets me off too.Youare not alone.Everyone is different and it sometimes takes a lot of experimenting to find the right combo for you.
Good luck

Hi Martha,
I am so sorry you are not feeling okay right now. It's very important to remember that these things do not work overnight. It will take a little time for you to stabalize and feel better again. I would first encourage you to get diagnosed if you haven't already...there may be something else going on such as food allergies or sensitivies (ie. soy). Also remember that stress has so much to do with stabalizing. Even if you follow the diet to the "T" and are taking all of the supplements, stress can easily override your attempts to stabalize.
Please read the guidelines on how to take the acacia and peppermint capsules. There's a chance you aren't taking them correctly. Also be sure that you are not eating any of the trigger foods and eating as the guidelines indicate. Sometimes we have to look a little harder to figure out what we are doing wrong. I would encourage you to start writing down what you eat and in what order (SF first then IF). This should help clear the air for you.
Also feel free to email us at help@helpforibs.com. if you're still stuck.
I hope this helps and hope you feel better soon!
Erin

Yes, that is so true. Every new thing that you put into your body is an experience and an experiment. And, everyone is different. What one person can tolerate, another may not, even if it has been proven to help with most. Don't feel like you did anything "wrong", especially if you gave it a fair trial.
Hang in there, and you will find what works for you. It may be trial and error for awhile. Keep the faith!

You were reg'd before as escabar70 and you are trying to scam people into buying the books on your website. You were posting on the LivingRoom board. Then when I called you on it, you deleted your posts. I will notify the Administrator again for scamming people.
