Thanks for your encouraging support. I know I am way too stressed over this, but I don't know how to get beyond the stress. Perhaps I am self inflicting the IBS symptoms on myself in a way because I am so stressed over trying to find some answers and only getting more confused. I am trapped in a vicous cycle: IBS=stress=even worse IBS= even worse stress, etc.
You've read my pasts posts. You know how frustrated I am at trying to find the SFS for me. Everyone can tell me what they take, but that doesn't mean anything for me, I have learned! Do you think that maybe some people just can't handle them and are better off without them? I know quite a few people (Sinead, Tina, Gayla, Dalia, Amanda, and some others) are not taking them either because they don't need them or because their bodies don't like them and cannot tolerate them.
Thanks for the suggestion on the trial period. I wouldn't even know which one to start with! The only one I don't currently have sitting in my cupboard right now is Acacia! So any suggestions on which to try? If any. I really wish I could be one that is stable without one.
BTW do you take colace, zelnorm, mirelax or anything besides the metamucil?
Oh, one other non-IBS question. I see in your profile you are a student. What are you studying? I love finding out what people are planning on going into!
Again, thanks for your continual support. You guys keep me from really just giving up on life in general. Yes, I am pretty depressed as well as major anxiety.
