Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Kendra!

My name is Christie, I am about to turn 29 on June 17th. I have been married just about 7 years and have two daughters 5 and 7. I have had IBS since the birth of my first child and possibly before then, but it got really bad after my first pregnancy.

I really suggest going on Heather's diet on this board and start taking a daily SFS (Soluble Fiber Supplement). My SFS is Benefiber but others on here take Acacia, Citrucel, etc. I discussed the diet on this board w/ Dr. Tarmin and she said it is a good diet and recommended that I stay on it. She also prescribed me a drug called NuLev for my attacks of Diarehea, which really helped.

I am so stable right now that all I take is my Benefiber and Nexium for my GERDS. A year ago I thought I would never lead a normal life, so there is hope for you too.

I am going to check w/ some of the others from Maryland on here and see if we are going to do a June meeting. Maybe you can join us if we do.

Again Welcome,
Christie
