Finally, after a year of suffering severe pain and weekly attacks, I am going on 2 months pain free, attack-free.
Its been a combination of things but the key was trying to figure out what was triggering my attacks. I stumbled across the SAGE Complement Antigen test and my doctor never heard of it. It tests for delayed sensitivities to a ton of common foods and additives. I asked my doc to order the blood test and my insurance paid for it. This is different from regular allergy testing. The SAGE test shows what can trigger an IBS attack in 1 to 4 or 5 days after you eat. That is why its been so difficult to figure out what foods were causing my attacks. The test showed sensitivity to eggs, milk, casein, soy, beef. I don't eat those foods anymore. I have been taking Levsin before meals to relax the intestine but I would still have excrutiating painful attacks a couple of times a week anyway. At the same time that I began eliminating those foods, I also started taking a probiotic. AMAZING!!! I have been free of pain and the big D for coming up on 2 months and I feel great.
I believe that the probiotic helps, and I know the Levsin calms down cramping, but the elimination of these foods that the SAGE test identified sealed the deal. I have my life back. I just wanted to share this with folks.
Its so important to KNOW for sure what foods you have a delayed sensitivity to. Just google Sage Complement Antigen Test and read about it.
Its so worth it!!! [color:black] [/color]
