Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: ok it was not wise i no

aperson,

I know you have genuine concerns about julie. Her doctor is Dr. Whorwell who did the original research on the probiotic used in Align (bifidobacterium infantis). Also, he was did the original research on IBS and hypnosis. She is in good hands.

At the moment Dr. Whorwell and his team have recommended a different probiotic. I believe he is aware of julie's previous abuse of laxatives. He has recommended she use a special kind of laxative - Ducolax - along with a special diet and hypnosis tapes.

It is important that we try not confuse julie as she moves through this difficult period. We need to support her and encourage her to contact Dr. Whorwell's IBS hotline for answers to her questions and concerns. Here is a link to interviews with Professor Whorwell about IBS and diet and IBS and hypnosis that you might enjoy.

Cheers
