Re: What to eat when "breaking the cycle" doesn't work?       03/29/05 08:23 AM Edit Reply Quote joylyn Reged: 03/04/05 Posts: 3 Sorry for all you're going through. I went through the same thing about two years ago, but now can usually start feeling a little better in a couple of days, but not back to normal for 2-3 weeks. I can't tolerate peppermint tea. It makes me so sick at my stomach. I don't do the peppermint capsules either, just live on toast and water for a couple of days, then add applesauce. I continue to drink Metamucil 2-3 times a day also. I've taken Bentyl 3-4 times a day for several years now and it seems to work better for me than other things I've tried. I don't think it makes me C, but I'm going to take Donatol the next time I have a flare up and see. I always have Donatol on hand and when I get real bloated then I take one of them. I always start out with cramping and D the first day or two and then stay C for a day or two when my flare ups start. I don't know if the peppermint could be hurting you or not, but just wanted to let you know that it did me. Hope you start feeling better soon. Oh, I also found that taking 150 mg of Wellbutrin helped with my IBS. My doctor put me on this 2 years ago, and my flare ups aren't as bad since I've been taking this. Hope you get relief soon!
