Naltrexone and other things.

Good that the Acacia seems to be helping you. I have had no success with any SFS as of yet (tried about 6 so far). Not acacia as of yet. I have delayed gastric emptying so SFS is not recommended for this. But with the IBS-C it is recommended. So what am I to do?

I wish I could get into Mayo or UNC, but I don't have a doc to give me a referral and my records are scattered all over between about 4 doctors and it cost money to get them!

I read that even after the clinic trials for naltrexone, it will still take 2 to 5 years for it to be made available. Even if you can get a script for it, there are only a few mail order pharmacies who produce the low dose and they provide it at 4.5 mg and the dose for IBS is only 0.5mg. So, you would have to try and cut it into 8 pieces. Impossible.

I don't know how I will make it for up to 2 more years without this drug and it will probably end up being closer to 5! Why do they do this if it shows that it can help people and it is already being used safely for other conditions?
