I noticed the difference after about 2 or 3 months.       02/16/06 02:34 PM Edit Reply Quote Wind Reged: 04/02/05 Posts: 3178 Yes, after about 2 or 3 months of taking Buspar consistently I noted a significant alleviation of lower g.i. pain. Maria gets into the "theory" behind this. My current maintenance dose is 40mg/day in 3 divided doses. Re: the E.D. and Buspar, therapy (especially E.M.D.R.), diet, and supplements/aids (i.e. enzymes, Beano) I think it's the combination of all of the above that has made a difference. If it bothers me, I eliminate it from my diet. Gluten really destroys my equilibrium & makes me vomit, thus it is eliminated. Ditto for anything containing yeasts. Seriously, I eat very few things unless I am confident that it will digest & not upset me. I do this out of kindness to myself. My body cannot handle sugars, so I don't eat them. Stability for me is not having violent D and cramping everyday--indeed not having D everyday! It's not having to worry incessantly about explosive gas that brings D attacks, pain, bloating, cramping, D attacks. It's a kind of digestive self-confidence. For example, I haven't eaten veggies in 3 days (serious withdrawal, lol!) because I'm getting over a D spell. So far, so good! So...maybe I'll entertain a 1/2 lb. of mushrooms (food processed)& half cup of spinach puree, tonight, if my guts give me the signal that they like me! If not, it's probably just chicken soup (i.e. organic skinless chicken breast in the water that it was bathed/cooked in, with lots of sea salt). I more or less food process everything, pop all kinds of pills. Until Beano, I went for a very long time without consuming veggies & really nutritionally suffered. I was literally malnourished with macrocytic anemia. The pain relief from Buspar is a positive bonus/side effect. I guess, I can breathe easier and relax about alot of the food issues/IBS issues/E.D. issues that seriously disturbed me for a very long time because of seemingly silly things named Beano & drugs like Buspar, as well as digestive enzymes. Part of anorexia is fear of food/eating. I don't have that to the intense degree that I used to. Kate, IBS-D. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
