Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi there again. Your symptoms sound excatly like mine. I couldn't even walk or make it from my bedroom to the kitchen without a lot of pain. My doctor gave me Sulfa because I am also on Coumadin so I can't take alot of other medicine.

I tried the Donntal and I didn't like those. I am now taking Robinul-Forte. They seem to help. I did get the peppermint pills and the fennel tea.

Its just so hard to know what I can eat and what I can't. I hate feeling like this when I get an attack. Like right now and I am having one. Though by now I seem to know what to do and stop it from happening.

I just decided to stay away from tomatoes I just thought it would be easier that way. It is hard to shop for two different people. My niece lives with me and she can eat just about anything and of course I can't. I get food that she likes and then for dinners I fix food the IBS way and she is coming around a little.

This gastro doctor I have is alot better than one I have seen before so I will continue to see him. He was a little more help when I was first diagnosed with IBS.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.
