Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi Everyone,

I have not posted in quite awhile because I was so frustrated. I would be sympton free for a few days at a time, but then most of the time I would be in pain with the pain shooting down my legs & up my back.

I am now symptom free most of the time, and a much happier person. What changed?

I was put on an anti-depressant. I went through 4 (yes,4)rounds of the hypnotherapy tape. I stay true to the IBS diet, and do not cheat. I take the Acacia SF, two tablespoons a day. I do yoga in the morning and at night. I escape to the North Georgia Mountains every weekend. I watch the trees grow. I marvel at nature. I have established bounderies with my family & friends. I only "hang" with positive people. AND last but not least I quit my stressful job of CFO at a manufacturing plant.

It has taken me two very frustrating years to get to this point. SO those of you who are still struggling, hang in there,be positive, and never give up hope!!!!!!
