Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Chronic Ideopathic Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction: I was diagnosed with this a few years ago, after running the gauntlet of tests, medications and misdiagnosis, incl IBS, for 3 years before that. I am new to the message boards (though I do get the newsletter and have bought the recipe book).

Is there anyone out there with CIIP or familiar with it? It is rare and considered the most serious of the gastro disorders so info and treatment is scarce. I do everything I can with diet including most on your website but not eating at all is the only truly effective remedy, which obviously is not good. Beyond that I am on pain medication long term -- Vicodin -- also not good, but better than morphine which CIIP patients are usually prescribed. I am open to any suggestions that may be out there and especially would love to share experiences and ideas with anyone else suffering from this.

Your website and materials are great; the moral support alone has encouraged me to forge on. Thx, Sheila Anne
