I have had ibs d for 18 years and it has been a sad life. I am 39 and have tried all medicines and around December I got excited about this web site a friend told me about, I bought the book, acacia and fennel. I had high hopes. I tried this diet for 3 weeks. I did feel somewhat better while reducing my foods to white rice bread and pasta. But it did not stop d or bloating and gas. Even on only those foods, my body continued to have the horrible bloated gas that is stuck in my intestines and in order to get it out each day it is like labor and delivery every day of my life. Is their any other reason my body can be producing so much gas that is getting trapped and won't come out without tremendous force to the point where I am in such a sweat. This goes on for hours every single day no matter what. Even on bread and water. I know it takes time with making changes. But I know that after three weeks of cardboard and still having all that discomfort and pain, I could tell the gas wasn't going to magically disappear if I kept eating bread and rice another couple of months. I admit the symptoms decreased somewhat, but nowhere near enough to want to continue on that diet. I hear so many positive comments from people, but is there anyone else that this diet does not help. I think possibly I am carbohydrate intolerant, which does not fit well with this diet. I could live and have lived with D all my life, but I feel like cutting a whole in my intestines to just relieve the pain of this gas. The acacia made me feel even more gassy and I did start at the lowest dose. As for the fennel, I makes me want to throw up, I just can't stomach it, though I do drink the peppermint tea. Help!!! The gas is killing my every ounce of happiness. Today before going to work I took Librax, Lomotil, immodium, pepto bismal and I am starting on Wellbutrin, with all this I am still in the bathroom at work with terrible bloating and gas. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
