I've suffered w/some form of IBS for at least 15 years, but the past 9 or so have been unbearable. I haven't had a life, I don't date much, every single decision is based on how it affects the IBS. I've researched everything, tried everything, read everything and am so sick of doctors saying they can't help. I feel like I have had one of the most stubborn cases of IBS-C around (but i'm sure everyone feels that way). All I can offer you is what has helped me in the past few weeks have more relief than i've had in years. The only SFS I can tolerate is citrucel. I take 1/2 tsp in the morning along with Zelnorm. (I've taken Zelnorm for awhile but it only now has started working w/a soft diet). I've been eating a banana or peeled sweet potatoe for breakfast. I've been now eating a lot of baby food and chicken rice soup for other meals, along with soft bread, and another zelnorm at night. This has worked at untwisting my insides and softening my poop and helping pass it. Not perfect, but worlds better than it has been. Have you tried a very soft mushy diet, and have you tried zelnorm. I know what we all need more than anything is just a mental break. Hang in there. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
