Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: amitryptilene, anyone?

Yes, this is my subject. I was put on it 3 years ago. Your right about the buzz part. You get used to it . But it never really help me. I still suffered terrible D & urgency coming on like a hurricane. I was afraid to be far from a bathroom. My recipe to stability started with Heather`s book "eating for IBS" . You can buy it here. The biggest factor I feel was the fiber supplement "Acacia" also bought from here. The rest is diet & the great support and advice here. Alot of wonderful caring people here. Just a little insight to a day of eating for me. Breakfast- Cereal w/rice milk vanilla flavor. Honeycombs or Corn pops. This w/bottled water & acacia fiber powder mixed in[it`s tastless].This is a good start to stabalizing your day. Lunch - sourdough bread w/turkey & fat free mayo[little bit]. Baked chips & animal crackers [dairy free]. Dairy is a huge trigger for D. Dinner time- Chicken w/rice or pasta. Fennel tea after dinner for bloating which I expereienced alot when first changed my eating habits. I hope this helps a bit. Start with books, acacia fiber, & stay with this sight. Good luck!
