Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I know exactly what you mean!!!!

I have been through the same process and have decided the most important things are:
1. Diet
2. Exercise
3. Relaxation and Stress Control
4. Soluble F Supps

I have given up looking for that miracle cure - there isn't one. It just gets expensive and frustrating.

I have accepted that I will have good days and bad days regardless but that if I am strict with my above four goals I have the best chance of leading a near to normal life.

I must say I never, ever deviate from the diet, I always take my SF and always exercise every day.

The one thing that gets me every time is stress. No matter how well I do all the other things if I get stressed it is all out the window! Although I do yoga and meditate I still find stress hard to control. It's the one thing that is often out of our hands. Due to this I am thinking of giving the IBS Audio Program a go as hypnotherapy has helped me with other problems in the past.

However I am not spending any money on any more "miracle cures".

I don't know if this helps but wanted you to know you are not alone in feeling this way.
