Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Unusual case of IBS?

Hi, firstly I want to say how great it is that as a mother you are doing so much to help and support your son, that's wonderful!

I really feel for your son as will everyone else here. IBS can be a debilitating condition and quite honestly there doesn't seem to be a "usual" case of IBS as everyone is different. Having said that, there are many common things we can all do to help the situation. If you do a search using "new, new to the board" terms like that you'll come up with a lot of past posts that have links etc to lots of info that is good to read when getting started.

The main things to address are:
1.Diet - read up on all the info on this site
2.Take Soluble Fiber Supplements
3.Exercise daily - it really helps
4.Get plenty of sleep
5.Address stress,whether it be through yoga,relaxation, meditation, time out to yourself etc, etc (check the info on the yoga, hypnotherapy sites)

I hope this helps. Thank you for supporting your son so well.

Kerrie
