Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: A few ?'s for help with C

Hi, I'm sorry to hear you are having a ruff time of things at the moment. I'm not sure I will be of much help to you, but i can sympathise a little bit with you. I am also a C and find it very hard to understand how some of these things can help us, I can appreciate how it would help a D. anyway, I find that the SF's doe help me i have approx 20ml per day, I have sachets that have ten mil in each or 3.5g I drink about 2-3 litrs of water per day and i know if i have not drunk enough cause then i am unable to go to the bathroom without being bloated and having stomach cramps. I find also to help me go i eat satsumas if i have about four of those within the day i end up being both for a couple of days after yes i do have some cramps but nothing compared to what i used to suffer. the veggies i stick to are carrot and swede mashed together and also butternut squash. i tend to eat a lot of chicken i tend to do indian meals with the chicken or chinese i just buy a sauce of my choice and make the meal. i tend to have this with either tortilla wraps or rice or even naan breads these are all safe.

I hope this helps in some way even if it's just to let you know that you are not alone and definately not crazy.

Like you said your other meds won't be helping, what i also found that helped in the begining was a tea that had senna and other herbs in it. you can buy it from a company called Dr Natura they are on the web but are based in Florida. the tea is a herbal tea taken before going to bed and the next morning you are able to go, they also sell their own SF but I found this was too strong for me.

Hope you are feeling better soon, take care.

Loads of hugs
