Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | A sucess story! Thanks to Heather!

Hi everybody

When I was first diagnosed with IBS in the summer of 2005, I just made Heather's dietary change and It work pretty well for a year and a half. But in the last 5 month I had problems, I could not control frenquent D-attacks anymore.
In december, I started to take a half Immodium a day and it work for a month. But then it started again...(see my last post).

I am happy to report that I did not have any D for the last 6 weeks. So, what did I do to change things...

1) Still a half Immodium a day.
2) I switch from Benefiber to Heather's Acacia fiber. I get less gas and bloating probably because of probiotics in it.
3) I also take 1 Caltrate a day.

So far so good!

I also started to drink Rice milk because there is lots of calcium in it. And for a super IBS-D like me, getting constipated is a dream...

Anyway, its going well...!

But I still have to wrestle with stress, I am very passionate about things and it can be a cause of stress. But as I am getting older, I'm getting more and more zen.

Well, I'm working on it anyway!
