Hi Frassled, I've had IBS-D for 25 yrs. Some were real nightmare ones. So glad to have this site. My tips: Imodium helps me leave the house, when I must be somewhere and can't stay home. Oyster shell calcium 600mg (with vitamin D) 3 times a day with meals helps me. Luckily I like soy milk, rice, french bread,cooked veggies and fish. Sure miss fresh crunchy veggies and fruit though. Bananas everyday (glad I don't get tired of them) If you mash one in a bowl it tastes like rich pudding. Meditation and Journaling (writing out my troubles) saves my sanity. Remember to be kind to yourself. Your IBS buddy, paintlady
