Hi Linz,

I was wondering about a colon cleanse for IBS. My doctor prescribed Psyllium but it causes me to have a lot of pain and did not really help my IBS. I have noticed alot of these products in the health food store. When I went to the health food store the clerk looked up what I should need to get relief from IBS. Another clerk handed me a bottle labelled IBX, which she said that many women with IBS rely on it. I know nothing about these supplements or whatever they are, but then the original girl handed me some Vitamin B Complex and Vitamin B-12. She said that the book recommended them also.

My questions are: 1) Have any of you tried these products?? and Do they work??? 2) Since I do not eat very much, would the vitamins provide any help?? 3) Is there any other things I need to know before I go back to the health food store????

Thanks,
