Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Mine was a bad experience.......

Unfortunately I tried a chinese herbalist before too....Ive literally tried everything! I had a really really bad experience though....she looked at my tongue did some weird test type things and then told me which would be the best stuff to take. I had to take these little black round balls....which were just funny looking pills but they were actually just herbs bound together all natural....and I had to take so many a day. I started them immediately when I got home...did everything they said and I was sooo hopefull that it was gona finally be a cure to all my symptoms. However....I wish that had been true cos what followed was the worst attack Ive ever ever had....Ive since had ones that come close but I think that was the first that was that serious. I felt like my inside were all gona come out....it was the most painful thing ever. I wasnt able to go the toilet for ages but I felt like I was in labour or something....when I eventually did have d it was black!! The colour of the pills!! Now I dont know what happened or why I reacted that badly but I have been absolutely terrified ever since because that was the first attack I ever had that I actually thought I might die from! I know I sound like a bludy wining over reacting woman.....but honestly I cant even describe how bad it was. I have a feeling the peppermint in it had something to do with it....I dont know what my problem with peppermint is but I had a reaction similar with peppermint tea and I think there was peppermint in the pills. Having said that I can eat altoids and mint imperials with peppermint oil without problems. Its very strange I wish i knew what it was.

Hope I havent put you off amy.....really do your research first and get a good herbalist....its always worth a try cos I know there have been people who've had great success from them.....just wanted to share my story.
