Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Seem to be stable for now...taking a break

Hi All,

I have really been cruising the board more than posting for the most part and feel very familiar with many of you "regulars". I am finding myself stable...having been "C" for what seems like forever I acutally go up to two times a day! Yahoo!

It seems that regular massaging to my belly...clockwise starting from the right has been a blessing. At one point I could actually feel a knot in the intestinal area where I was clearly supertense (or could it have been a lodged poop? I don't think I want to know! ha ha).

I also use one packet of Stevia-plus in my tea every morning. The "plus" is a safe fiber. If I eat more than usual I drink more tea and have no more than two packets of Stevia-plus (it can constipate if you use too much) per day.

I eat right but must pay close attention to the iron in my food as I tend to border on anemia.

I have discovered spelt bread, I have a recipe for spelt bread w/out yeast and for me, it has become "my bread".

I believe I will take a break from the boards right now as I could make myself crazy thinking..."I should try this that I read"...or..."I should try that". In sharing what is working for me my prayer is that the info will help someone else. IBS is such a fickle malady what works for one may not work for the other...I know Shell can eat popcorn and I sure cant. Talk about major contractions! Eeeeech!

Many blessings to all of you...I hope you find what works best for you.
