Hey Bev, Thanks for your offer to help, anything you can come up with would be great ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif)
I'd love to get stable obviously, and I'm not cheating at all. I'm ridiculously strict with what I eat, absolutely no cheating. Of course, part of the problem with me is that I still don't know 100% that it is IBS. That's the assumption, but I'm still waiting on a few more tests, so maybe it is something else and that's why all this other stuff isn't working.
I am drinking my water (I drink a lot) and I have a lot of fennel tea, I have GERD so I don't drink the peppermint very often, although I will have some if the cramps are really bad, because frankly, the heartburn is more tolerable. I'm taking my Acacia although still at a fairly low dose (about a teaspoon and a half throughout the day) but moving up slowly.
I really can't see anything in my diet that's causing it, and I don't know what else to do. I get moderate excercise, I get my rest...I don't know. I think alot of it may have to do with my having been trying to get off Paxil, and maybe my body just wasn't ready. I think I may have to suck it up and go back on an anti-depressant (I have anxiety and mild depression) because the Paxil really helped my tummy.
As for my job, I work for a bank and I work in a call centre doing telephone banking, unfortunately not something I can do from home. to be honest, I don't know if the company has anything that I might be able to do from home ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif)
Thanks again for your encouragement, definately let me know if you come up with anything! Kelly
