I'm IBS-D. I've been in agony, both physical and mental plenty of times in my life, but thank goodness I didn't give up, because I'm so much better and happier now. Before I found this site, I went through 6 months of bouts of severe D every couple weeks. Yes, my doctor did help me, by recommending a soluble fiber supplement (Metamucil happens to be the one I take, but any one will do), and by prescribing an antispasmodic called Bentyl -- and then insisting I take it every day, not just when I got D!! I did ALMOST everything Heather recommends without messing up (well, I messed up a couple times, but that just proves I'm human). And yes, that and the Bentyl and the soluble fiber supplement are why I'm doing so well now.
I'm so glad you found us. Don't give up five minutes before the miracle, okay??!!
