Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Help! Son ill again...I don't get it

Hi. I'm an IBS "A" but my main discomforts are with "C". I've had to go to ER with excruciating pain. It actually immobilizes me so I can't walk. I've also been to the point where I can't leave the house with "D" because you never know, if could hit within so many minutes.

Immodium is a good product. I used it years ago but, it's also on a temporary fix.

It's possible that the kind of fiber he's taking isn't the one that works best for him, unless he isn't getting enough on a daily basis. It's supposed to control both "D" and "C". I went through several kinds of fiber supplements. In my case FiberChoice is the one that has worked the best for me and lots and lots of water. Jello was also recommended because it's considered to be a liquid.

It's horrible how so many things can set off IBS. I feel bad that you had to see your son suffer like that. I can only imagine how heartbroken you must have felt. I have read that IBS attacks don't normally tend to disturb a person while they sleep. In my case that hasn't been quite true. All of us are different.

I hope things are much better now. Take care. Heidi
