Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

My chiropractor thinks I might have trouble with the illiocecal valve between the large and small intestine. This could be true because I am stable regarding regularity and cramps but still often bloated. Usually on and off through the afternoon and evening. But I have not seen a doctor about it yet. I think they probably won't help much so I cancelled my appt a couple months ago. Yes I do like the acacia and love the diet. I wish my bloating was gone- it was great last summer- but I believe my IBS will never be cured, only improved some.

--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
