Thank you so much! I really appreciate your input.
We have the peppermint caps now, I ordered Heather's book (used we are dirt poor and I just spent a month's grocery budget on the supplements and dairy-free stuff -sheesh).
She took dicyclomine as an anti-spasmotic and it really helped, and probiotics helped greatly for one month, and that's it. We had one good month where she gained 5 pounds and felt good - we were so excited! But despite daily probiotics, she's lost 6 pounds now.
I read other sites that say for IBS go gluten-free and sugar-free, which this site does not suggest. So confusing on who is "right"! I'm hoping dairy-free will help greatly, as I just bought soy everything (yogurt, cheese, cream cheese, and milk).
How much time should I wait til we see relief from using the acacia powder, peppermint caps, and a change in diet? Two weeks-ish?
Thanks again for the encouragement. This is heart breaking. She barely drinks any water too, no matter how much we plead.
