Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Dear all, please read

Wow, Ruchie - you covered a lot of ground in your post! You are so good with keeping up with everyone as individuals! I am so sorry things are not improving for you. It does sound like there is some investigating to do still. The library sounds like a good place to get info, but have you thought about a nutritionist? It might be a good short cut for you with a personal touch (and you are clearly such a warm people-person!!) The HT is going well - I am just letting go on the visualization/star thing. As its been said, its a sub-conscious focus anyway. It does seem to be helping, although today's been a rough day because I ate a meal I thought would be safe last night at a restaurant only to find out too late that it was LOADED with garlic. But in general, my symptoms have been better with way more good days than bad. This has probably been covered already, but are you sure Ensure is IBS safe? As for the strep and the colds/sinusitus/brochitis - sooo sorry to hear about your battle there too. Do you take echinacea or zinc? I have used Zicam (spray) just as I've felt colds coming on and two out of two times, I've been able to avoid them. Preventive measures are your best bet. Lots of sleep, too! You are amazing that you can stay so sweet and energetic sounding in your posts when you are feeling so poorly. You must be such a valued friend and family member to those in your life. You definitely are on this board! Take care - my thoughts and prayers are with you!
Andie
