Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | 3 month update...results

First i would like to thank this board for giving me a starting point.
In late May i begun to take control.

Eating--No red meat, no dairy, no junk, low fat.
Acacia fiber--up to 3 teaspoons per day.
Pepermint Tea--every evening
Hypnosis--one session every 2 weeks, CD every day.

I have been following the above religiously for 3 months now. I see SIGNIFICANT improvement, especially with my morning episodes. my immodium consumption is WAY down. Gas and Bloating is Way down too.

I am FAR from being normal but i feel that i am doing at least 50 % better than i was before.

Now, i still get Violent D maybe once per two weeks and the morning are normal. It used to be violent D at least twice a week and every morning was a disaster where i would get pain and urgency at least 3 times in a row.

The one thing that i have noticed is that when i eat fruit after a meal, or on empty, it really triggers an attack.
I can eat all the veg that i want and i am fine, but fruit gets me almost every time. I looked up fructose intolerance and D is not even a symptom. Any thoughts on this.

I just wanted to share my progress with all of you who i know can relate to my story.

thanks
MBH
