Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: back from the Doctor

Hi Janet,
Actually ALL of this agonizing stuff i am going through is good ol IBS. Right now and what he said is, it is trial and error to find the right thing that works for me as an indivual, no 2 pple are the same. when I went to the drugstore to get my prevecid I aksed the girl "Is previced not for heartburn"? She told me yes..... BUT the heartburn, in turn enables or what ever u wanna call it the gas and bloating, which I been suffering from. it is all connected. Now she did tell me some interesting things such as: DO NOT drink tea peppermint or others in the morning on a empty stomach. Eat first (i.e. hot oatmeal) which works fine I take my prevecid 1st. Then after I eat have some tea. Now she also said to be very careful cutting too many things outta my diet too. She was very helpful and pulled out a huge book they have on hand on IBS. so I found out the dicetel u have to give it about 4 wks to see any change, almost any drug give or take a bit she said needs that long to really show u what it will do for u. I just started the prevecid so we will see what the 2 of them do.
