Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Thanx for asking, Barbie

Hi Barbie,
I guess I didn't post very clearly....I have whipped yoplait yogurt everyday, not yogurt icecream (I wish!!!) Soft icecream was my major downfall B-IBS (before IBS

) However, I haven't even touched the hard icecream lately as I've been trying so hard to just get stable...You asked how I was doing...well, better than last week. I may have had my husband's 'bug' and that's why everything that usually happens was so much worse

Last Friday I began dropping my vitamins and supplements that I've taken for years. (1500mg of Vit C, 600mg of Calcium and the multi) Had also been taking a Vit B supplement, but when I went to my med dr back in April, she said Vit B has been know to irritate IBS, so I dropped that way back then. Yesterday morning was great; had only 1 bm and other than the usual nausea for abit, I had a pretty good morning. So I began to fantasize that maybe, just maybe, the vitamins were the culprit. However, this morning dispelled that fantasy. Wasn't bad enought to take Immodium, but tummy rumbled all morning. I'm still taking my estrogen--maybe that's the cause...I don't know; it gets so exasperating! My next thing I'll probably try is dropping all dairy--AGAIN...tried that several months ago, but didn't seem to matter. My chiropractor things that my scoliosis is what's causing the IBS; he could be right...he started this week adjusting and working on the lower back where my scoliosis is so bad and where the nerves from the back go into the colon...so we'll see. Thanx for asking and for your interest...
God Bless,
Janene
