Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | the salt or the anti-spasmodic?

hi, there
for the last few days i've noticed the soreness around and below the stomach and in the rectum that i've complained about seems to have let up. i still have stomach upset and some pain, but the soreness (that may be intestinal inflammation) has eased. i don't know if it's because i've cut out salt (which is an irritant to stomach inflammation) or if the antispasmodic has finally started kicking in (i've been taking Donnatal for over 3 weeks) even the last several mornings the bowel movements have not been so bad. the only thing that has salt in it is the PF plain bagels and the little bit of the smart balance light dairy free butter spread, but i imagine that its very tiny.

does anyone believe that salt could be a problem with soreness (that is if you have sorness) or is it the Donnatal?

also, when you urinate, have you noticed that it sets off something such as muscles being pulled, and there is more pain? i think that urinating puts stress on the colon as well.

one more thing: does a fiber supplement of any kind cause stomach upset and may it be wiser to take it with food?

if you have any theories, let me know
thanks!
