Acupuncture and Massage for the tummy       05/11/04 07:10 PM Edit Reply Quote mellikatt Reged: 05/02/04 Posts: 19 Loc: Ann Arbor, Michigan I'm glad to hear that someone else has tried it. I figure that I will try(money is tight for me too), but I have other problems along with the IBS and thought that I would try it for everything. You mentioned the massage for the stomach area. There is such a thing called Zabludowski Massage that I learned in massage school. Supposedly, if you massage your stomach with one hand below your belly button and the other above it in a counter-clockwise fashion(kind of like one hand following the other in a semi-circle-it helps you with C and if you do it clockwise, it is supposed to help you with D. I actually did this when I had D and I was too exhausted to notice if it was the massage that helped or not. I guess it breaks up impactions and causes stimulation of peristalsis.
