Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: im new and desperate!

Welcome to the Boards.

The books you ordered will help a lot but in the meantime you can figure out the basics of Heather's approach from this Website. Click on "IBS Diet & Recipes" in the column to the left to get started. Since you're IBS-D you might benefit from trying the Break The Cycle diet for 2-3 days to get everything settled down.

Imodium is great. There are people on the Boards who take it once or twice every day as a preventive measure. When you see your doctor in January talk to him about an anti-spasmodic. I use Donnatol.

There's no reason you can't go to Hawaii and then participate in the activities that you feel comfortable with. I think you're going to have to find a way to make your husband understand because you'll probably want to check on things like whether the sight-seeing boats really don't have bathrooms. And you'll have to talk to waiters about whether meals contain any trigger foods. I would think that it would be pretty easy to get seafood in Hawaii which should make eating out possible.

As for:

Your husband and his parents should be able to drop you off at the terminal before they go park.

HTH. If you have questions, just ask.
