Just an update for anyone who had been following my struggle with IBS-D. I'm a male sufferer and have tried and keep trying every natural method possible to cure my condition but to no avail. I finally (after 6 months +)convinced my GI to prescribe me Lotronex. I have been taking the 0.5mg pills for over a week now but they haven't been much sucessful at all. It has helped with the urgency slightly (nothing that daily immodium won't do) but has done nothing for the cramps, spasms, gas, occasional pains and loose stools. All in all i could up the dosage to the 1mg and it might help more but without health insurance and at a cost of @ $700/month i just don't think its worth it. Immodium has the same slight affect on me and at a much cheaper cost.

Oh well, just another notch on my belt of products i have tried.
