Hello, I just found this web sight and was encouraged by it. I am hoping someone might be able to give me some support or advice or even a starting point. I have suffered from chronic, severe IBS for over 4 years. The dr's have washed their hands of me and I am at this time house bound due to my symptoms. I have up to 14 moments a day and nothing seems to slow them down and I am feeling the strain from it all. I work at a natural health store and think I have tried everything I can think of but maybe I have over looked something. At this point I am willing to try anything. Does anyone out there have any suggestions ??

Welcome to the boards. I think if you post on the Eating for IBS board, you should get some more answers. Are you taking a fibre supplement? It is the most important thing you can do for IBS - even for diarrhea. Seriously. Try acacia, benefiber, equalactin, citrucel to name a few. Make sure it doesn't contain psyllium which will make things worse. Drink lots of strong, hot peppermint tea every day. Seriously, this stuff will stop me in the middle of an attack it's that good. Read through everything on this website. Try Heather's diet. It is THE diet to get yourself feeling better. It's balanced, low fat, and will help you stabilize. If you have any questions, post them on the Eating for IBS diet board.
