Thanks for reading the post Kim. I fully agree that you should stick with what works for you and that taking anything unnecessarily is not wise. I take only the Intestaid supplement and nothing else. I had all but given up and reconciled myself to living (uncomfortably)like this for the rest of my life until I tried the supplement. I have never dabbled with any other products, medications or supplements in the past and took the approach of 'just grin and bear it' as I fully believed that there was nothing could be done. I honestly feel now as I did before I was diagnosed with IBS and my life has changed beyond belief - so much so that I now consider that I have the IBS almost beaten. I have never believed in miracle cures and have not been an IBS fanatic in the past - I just suffered in misery and now I don't. I have no agenda other than sharing this with fellow sufferers in the hope that even one person can find the relief which I have now have. Best wishes from Scotland.
