Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am definitely an A, but it just doesn't seem like there are as many of us out there. Am I alone?

If there are other A's out there, what are you doing to get your IBS under control? What works? What hasn't worked for you?

I'm not super stable anymore, my son (10 months) NEVER sleeps. He sleeps in 1 to 3 hour chunks a few times each night. But he's the happiest little baby, he just hates sleeping. I guess he just doesn't want to miss anything. Stubborn little guy. Too bad it is doing a number on mommy's stomach!

Right now I'm:
- taking 2 Primal Defense Probiotic capsules a day (just upped my dose from 1 to 2)

- taking 4 tsp. acacia powder a day (2 before bed, 2 in the morning) I think I want to add 2 more in the middle of the day or before dinner

- going to try out the peppermint caps today before dinner

- keep my liquids up, I drink lots of water and peppermint tea, at least 12 cups total of the two each day

I feel great and stable when I get a good 5 or 6 hours straight of sleep, but less than that I get a rumbly tummy that often turns into D. Then I get C. Then it seems like back to D.

What are you guys doing?
