I am an IBS-A and have read so many posts on this board even though I don't post that often. From what I have read here, in books, and other websites, it seems that there are many people who can't function b/c they have such severe pain or diarrhea and then there are those who are able to control their IBS quite easily. I would consider you a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10, much like myself. For people like us, IBS doesn't stop our lives but it does hinder it on a regular basis. We have a daily fight but we're still able to fight back. It's frustrating but the one thing I have learned is that there are no concrete answers for IBS sufferers.
I do agree with the others. My diarrhea has been much more manageable with the acacia. Now I only fear what my life would be like without it. Hope this helps some!
