I know, things get confusing on here for sure. One thing I found confusing was people recommending Caltrate (brand name) and I immediately thought it contained calcium citrate. It actually contains calcium carbonate which is recommended for IBS-D. I have found liquid easier on my stomach than pills.

Magnesium is supposed to help people with IBS-C. However after not having as much success as I wanted with just calcium, my naturopath suggested a multi mineral including both calcium magnesium to help regulate muscle contractions. I would suggest starting with just calcium carbonate, and find one that is gentlest on your stomach. Vitamin D doesn't seem to make a difference on my IBS.

I live in Canada so I'm assuming insurance and costs of naturopaths are different. This website may be a good start for you: Ohio naturopaths. If you have insurance it may cover some of the cost. Most insurance plans in Canada cover naturopath services up to a maximum amount per year. Try to find one that doesn't focus on chiropractor services. Instead find one that looks at nutrition, herbology, Chinese medicine and homepathy.

I hope you start finding some relief soon..
