Hi there - There is a crazy 36 hour stomach bug flying around my town & it took down my family 2 weeks ago. Ever since I've been having a heck of time getting back to normal. Extreme pain, lots of gas, back to being constipated (after 18 hours of diarrhea). Does anyone have any suggestions for calming everything back down after illness? I was doing great for almost a year and now this happens and nothing seems to be working. I have not tried any peppermint (ran out) so that may be an option...suggestions?

I would start with visiting your doctor. If you get no help, see a gastro specialist.

I would also order some more peppermint caps and drink LOTS peppermint tea. I had this happen to me last month and it took over THREE WEEKS for me to get back to normal.

I totally empathize with you, VERY frustrating!

I really hope you feel much better VERY, VERY SOON!!!

Originally diagnosed with IBS-C in Spring, 2008. During spring to fall of 2008, had at least 10 acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbs. IBS went into remission. IBS returned in late July 2013 after taking 2 oral contrasts for a CT scan for cancer follow up. Had more acupuncture with different practitioner in summer 2014, but received little benefit.
