My First Time on The Boards       07/10/04 09:39 AM Edit Reply Quote jeenerz Reged: 07/10/04 Posts: 212 Loc: Northwest Montana Well, I have finally logged in. I have been reading the Message Boards for months, but just have never gotten involved. It has been such a source of help to me and hopefully, my experiences with IBS will, in turn, help others. I have IBS-D and have struggled with it intensely for about the last year, although I have had problems in the past, especially when I was a teenager and then again, soon after I was married. However, for the past 20 yrs. or so I had been fairly symptom free--could eat whatever I wanted. Then about 5 years ago, I began having some problems and had a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with IBS, which would go along with earlier diagnosis of colitis and spastic colon. I started to watch what I ate, and still functioned pretty normally. Then about a year ago, things all caved in and I began to have severe problems 3-4x/week. That's when I found your website and ordered Heather's Books and the acacia. Bottom line is that I have learned to take one day at a time. If I'm going to have problems, it's always within the first 2 hrs of the morning and so I can't plan on anything for early morning and it has changed my life in so many ways. My doc has me on librax for the spasms and when they do hit, immodium seems to help stop them. I have levsin on hand, but that doesn't always work. I have very slowly increased my intake of acacia and was at 7tsp/day, but seemed to be having more problems this past week, so I've cut back down to 5 tsp/day. IBS is such a discouraging disease. Just when I think I have it down what I can and can't eat, I eat something on my 'can' list and have problems....there just doesn't seem to by any rhyme or reason to this thing. At any rate, I'm looking forward to actually chatting with many of you, whom I already feel I know. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
