Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Tips for travelling in the Car

Have you tried Imodium?Do your attacks continue through the day?And are you eating the EFI diet?
Mornings seem to worst for all ders.Me included.I find the pressure of having to leave at a certain time will trigger an attack.Once I get where I need to go I am usually fine.

You could also try Slippery Elm tablets to help calm your intestinal wall.That worked for me and the d stopped.I too am using the cds and find a great help so far.I'm on about 45 day.I found part way through though that I was in a lull and they didn't really seem to be working and started to panic again.
St Johns wort also helps with the anixety.If you haven't reached the severe panic attacks then I suggest starting on them right away.You should see a great improvement in the panic subsiding.I mostly have light panic attacks once in a while now and once I get through them i'm good.

Let us know what you are using to help.Them others will be able to help you more.
