Here's mine (I'm IBS-C):

*I try to eat as little as possible. I need to give my digestive tract a rest. If anything, I have some sourdough toast.

*Strongly brewed cup of fennel tea. Then a cup of strongly brewed Yerba Mate' tea.

*Citrucel powder 3-4 scoops/day.

*Exercise. Even if it hurts like hell. I stair step, Pilates or Yoga. It hurts, but I might as well be exercising if I'm hurting anyway.

*Heating pad, magazine and/or DVDs. I've spend entire weekends on the couch.

*Peppermint Oil capsules (enteric coated)

*Alka Seltzer. Surprisingly, this worked for me. I was feeling "full" and was scrounging around my medicine cabinet and found this. Said to take it for overindulgence in food. Well, it felt like I ate Thanksgiving dinner after a two-slices-of-toast breakfast. It worked. The fizzies might not be tolerated for everyone, though.

*WATER WATER WATER !! At least 72 ounces daily for me. If not more.

*Hot bath with scented oils, dim lights and a candle. Lavender oil is an anti-stress oil, and is calming. Lots of bubbles, too, for making bath mohawks.

That's all I got.
