Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Ok, I started taking Digestive Advantage for IBS yesterday...

I took one yesterday & one again today. Now this afternoon, my belly is feeling more bloated & 'sore' than before. No cramps really, just kind of hurting & tender feeling, maybe a little gassy. No bm today. I think this can be normal, has anyone here tried that supplement? When I saw it in the store, I figured it was worth a try, cause nothing else has been helping me lately. I'm always afraid to try laxatives, for fear it'll get the D started again. (Although there are days when I'd be willing to tolerate the D to get cleared out good.)
Last night I grilled some boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and ate a little pasta & a little spinach. I didn't actually eat much before feeling full. I've also drank alot more water yesterday & today. Can the water be causing problems as well?
I've had some peppermint tea yesterday & today, that seems to help for a few minutes, but then I start feeling sore again.

One last question...I haven't seen it posted anywhere, so I'm wondering if it's an unusual symptom or not. When my IBS is bothering me, it feels like a pain that goes right through me, I hurt from my belly through to my back, I get back pain with it too. Does everyone else get that too, or am I just weird??

Thanks again!
