Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Try posting on the "eating for IBS board"..you'll get more responses. When I found this site, I was super frustrated too and felt defeated by my IBS. Read all you can on this site and/or get Heather's books. They are worth your time and energy...not to sound like a commercial...but you really will learn so much and get your ibs under control. Read about all the triggers and start some kind of soluble fiber supplement (read about it on left)...acacia is the best but if you don't want to buy Heather's products b/c you're not sure, try some over the counter stuff first and you'll see that the sf does help (fibercon helped me at first with my d...but the acacia helps so much better). For anxiety, things to consider are: excercise, particularly yoga, hypno (listed here), anti-anxiety meds (I was apprehensive at first but glad now that I took the plunge), and getting lots of sleep. Welcome and hope you start to feel better soon.
