Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Guys, Guys!! I swear that my probiotic is REALLY helping!!

OK- here's my story:
Found Heather's site and started the diet- went from massive, almost debilitating pain and usually C but occasional D to MUCH less pain, but ever present, and just a calmness about my IBS.

Was put on Zelnorm, and was pooing 4x a day at first. I believe this is what my body needs. It eventually faded to 1x a day, and is a drug and I didn't want to get hooked on it so I tapered off a week or so ago. It also gave me the odd day of pretty good D.(being an A I guess it would!!)

A week ago I began my 5 strain dophilus. I was at first a fart machine....yummy! and felt really burpy etc. Was still CThe next few days I couldn't pass gas no matter how I tried. Then, something happened the other day. Suddenly, I started going 3x a day, and my pain, was just GONE! I'm still finding I have some gas but honestly, I really think I might have found the balance. now watch it work for only a week, lol!
I love heather's diet and swear it's helped me a ton, but I really think the probiotic is taking care of what was YEARS of a systemic yeast infection. My fog is fading, I'm much less itchy, and am feeling somewhat more energetic. i did come off caffeine(well, 4/5 of it) recently so I'm still BAGGED tired, but it's just getting better every day.
