I have read Heather's book – Eating for IBS and would like to utilize her recommendations under the sub-heading "Powders, Pills, And Potions". I suffer from IBS-D and want to make sure that I know what to take and in what regiments to be safe! I have purchased the Acacia Tummy Fiber, Fibercon, Peppermint Oil Capsules, Caltrate (1200mg), and Centrum Multi-Vitamin and am planning to pick up the Acidophilus. I also take Imodium as an emergency back-up. I was really hoping that Heather could approve or improve on the below regiment that I am going to begin following. I tried to email her, but for some reason my message was returned. Any comments, or suggestions would be wonderful!
Morning:
One peppermint capsule
One dose of Caltrate (600mg)
One Centrum Multi-Vitamin
One dose of Effexor (75mg – for anxiety)
One teaspoon of Acacia Fiber
Mid-Afternoon:
One does of Caltrate (600mg)
One teaspoon of Acacia Fiber
Evening:
One peppermint capsule
One teaspoon of Acacia Fiber
Night:
One dose of Zyrtek (10mg for Allergies)
As Needed:
Fibercon (up to four doses of two capsules per day)
Imodium (up to four doses in a 24 hour period)
Altoid Mints (swallowed before a meal as needed)
P.S. Of course, I will also be changing my diet to adhere to the IBS recommended foods.
Thank you so much in advance!
