I am so happy that I found this website. I have never ever met anyone who truly understands and can empathize whole-heartedly with what I am feeling and how IBS affects EVERYTHING in your life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ms.Mindful...thank you for your kind words and encouragement that I will get through this. I used to journal with no pattern, but now that I am eating better and know what to look for, I think I'll try again. Sand...I didn't read the entire thread of yours from '05, but I was wondering about the Donnatel and Equalactin. I already take Librax for some anxiety and slowing down the bowels (I guess)and I used to take Lexapro but it didn't make that much of a difference IBS wise. I do think the Librax works so I take that morning and night. Like you, I occassionally (I think I've only taken 3 whole pills in 1 year), I wanted a miracle drug for those iffy situations. I have Clonzapam (sp?) which is supposed to be like a tranquilizer. My regular physician prescribed it to use for my anxiety just until the Lexapro kicked in. But I have used it on airplane flights and once or twice when I started to have a panic attack. I need to do some research on it and find out any side effects. I don't want to be addicted, but sometimes I think I just need that something to take the edge off...SITUATIONAL...not daily. I'm wondering if the Donnatel is something like that. I had tried Levsin years back but pretty much thought it was a joke..it did nothing for me. Are those other ingredients in Donnatel what really helps? (PS...while reading your previous posts, it is hard to believe that you are so much more confident now...you sound like a different person and that gives me hope.)
