Hi Michele. I am new at this. Only have had IBS since last August, I believe from taking an herb that "insulted" my gut. I have not been the same since. I am self-diagnosing, because I can't get into a gastroenterologist until July 16. But I am 98% sure I have IBS due to the symptoms, provided nothing else going on more serious. You're symptoms are a lot like mine from what I've read. Also, my five year old daughter has been on Miralax for about 6 months now. About 1/2 of the adult dose every other day. It works like a dream on her, but am afraid of dependency. She has been constipated since birth (runs in the female side of my family) so I have resolved that she is going to be dependent on something her whole life anyway. May try to gradually switch her to Benefiber or Acacia this summer to see what that might do. Also, have you ever tried the hypnosis tapes? I just received them in the mail today. Although I have not been officially diagnosed, I am contemplating starting them to see if I can help beat this crazy thing I've acquired. Just wondered if you tried them; you are going to a shrink you say? I live in a small town so that is not a viable option for me. It's nice to meet you, if you would respond back to me (or anyone else too!). I will try to find your reply, as I said, I'm new at IBS & message boards!
