Hi, my name is Mike. I'm a 35 year old male, and new to the message boards. I was diagnosed with IBS 3 years ago, but I believe I have had some form of IBS since my early 20's. When I was frst diagnosed with IBS, I had no clue how to handle these new symptons I was encountering. Through some research, thankfully I found Heathers "Eating for IBS", which has been a blessing since, I was able to start trying new recipes and re-teaching myself how and what I could eat. I used to take anti-spasmadic prescription drugs (bentyle, generic for Levsin), but I haven't taken any mediacation in 6 months. However, I have had positive results from digestive enzymes and Acdophilus. I use a brand called Kyo-Dophilus, that I buy from GNC in the US. I have the IBS-D type of IBS. Until this past week, I haven't experienced any cramps or bloating for 5 months. I still struggle with stress, and my diet,but for most of the time I am able to control my symptons. I still have attacks, as we all do I guess, but I try to follow Heather's advice, follow a sound and safe diet, and work-out at the gym to ease attacks and from now on will look to this message board for additional advice. I am thankful that I found such a good forum on IBS.
Best Regards,
Mike Lowry
