I've been diagnosed with IBS, and figured this recent bought of D was because of my IBS. I was sticking to the IBS diet, and as I started running out of my acacia I called Heather's Tummy Care to order more. At the same time I wondered whether it was causing my symptoms. A very helpful gal advised me to have my doctor rule out giardia and parasites. My doc ran the tests and low-and-behold I've got a parasite. I'm starting antibiotics tonight. Wish me luck, because I don't do well with antibiotics!

Thank goodness I got the advice to check for parasites, because my doc would have written this off as IBS. She was quite surprised. My advice...if you've tried everything mentioned on this website and nothing is working, it wouldn't hurt to be tested for parasites.

Now, if anyone has had parasites and can offer me advice on getting well, I'll surely take it!
