Last year my 10 year old began to suffer from IBS symptoms. After seeing a specialist and going the prescription route nothing worked. The perculiar thing though was that her symtoms of pain and spasms occurred only at night, like clockwork. It did not matter what she ate, the spasms and pain returned every night. After ruling out lactose intolerance and a whole host of medical conditions she was put on the normal prescriptions and laxatives to relieve her spasms and pain. Nothing worked. In fact the prescriptions only made her worse. Then we discovered Help for IBS and put her on Heather's Acacia powder and it was like magic. We thought she was cured. Since the summer of 2005, almost one year now, she began each day by eating oatmeal mixed with the powder. Gradually we increase her dosage up to about 3 tablespoons a day. She was sympton free for almost a year. Well here we are again after taking the powder, the tummy teas, peppermint pills and watching her diet, her unbearable conditions, pain, gas, bloating and spasms have returned. Again it is only and always at night before bedtime, like clockwork. Naturally my wife and I, and my poor daugher, are at wits end. What do we do? I'm beginning to think a lot of this is mental or at least there is some connection to her mind and gut. Help! We are getting desparate.
