Hi

Sorry to hear your having such a horendous time. Everything your describe can certainly mess with your digestion.

If your symptoms are being triggered by stress you could try the hypnotherapy program. I'm using it just now and I already feel so much calmer. There's also yoga (you could start with a DVD). I also like heat therapy in the form of baths and hot water bottles. I also find that walking helps with stress. Just getting out into the fresh air helps.

If you've got the recipe book try the adding a few of the cakes. The peppermint fudge and the ginger bread are particularly safe.

I also take a calcium supplement (caltrate) to help with D. IF your C natural calm is a good option as it contains magnesium which helsp keep things moving.

Also stick with the soluble fibre diet and add in some IF where and when you can tolerate it. It does help with IBS.

It is possible to get your health back. I was having a real bad time in August but with the diet and stress relief techniques I'm so much better.
