Re: For welshsarah - UK alternative to Natural Calm       07/09/07 08:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Rio Reged: 11/28/06 Posts: 123 I've been following Heather's diet and taking Acacia since October 2006. I have had IBS since my teens (a long time ago!) but my situation is complicated in that I have had major abdominal surgery which has resulted in adhesions (scar tissue) that cause a lot of additional pain. No surgeon is willing to operate and attempt to cut them, as I've been told time and again that it's too risky and also that more adhesions will form. I have tried many diets over the years, and Heather's seems to be the easier on my digestive system. I have to keep it as calm as possible as the more 'irritable' it is, the more the adhesions seem to pull and cause pain and blockages. Also, Heather's diet is the least restrictive I have found. I cannot eat 'normal' size meals anyway, so eat 'safe' small meals and snacks every three hours or so. I eat a lot of soups and avoid all raw fruits (except bananas) and salads. The Acacia is great for helping C and therefore the risk of an obstruction. Also, taking magnesium tablets helps immensely with C. Hope you get on well with the magnesium - just remember it is not a laxative, so it's not an instant fix. You may need to perservere. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
