Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: IBS diet and menstruation

What's BC?
Yes, I don't have Heather's tea but I have Aliva (sp?)...both Fennel and Peppermint teas. The peppermint was a life-saver tonight. I had awful nausea. I think it was that oops this afternoon. I had a small piece of my son's bday cake after work today. Ohhhhh. What a dummy. Might have been the frosting. Sometimes I just pick something up without thinking ...guess I haven't been on the diet long enough to where I don't have to think before I eat. I haven't noticed a big difference using the fennel tea for the gas/bloat though. I'm nervous about trying the Acacia because there's so many people that have said it made them feel worse. I just don't feel ready to try something that might make me feel bad because I'm feeling so rotten right now.

I feel like I'm a walking symptom. I've upped my AD's because I'm having a hard time dealing with all of this right now. I'm thankful that I don't have D like many on this board. I feel for you all. I don't know...just feel like with as yucky as I feel, I shouldn't complain because it could always be worse. Ever feel that way?

Maybe I just need to find a way out of my job. I teach High School and it's my biggest source of stress. Wouldn't that be nice.

Well....glad to hear I'm not alone.
