Calling all IBS-A's -- I need to ask for your advice. I have had IBS-A for about 10 years and stumbled on to this site about 4 months ago. I found that I was intuitively doing some of the diet things (avoiding meat, spicy food, etc.), but after reading the info on the site, I've been trying everything to try to resolve my IBS-A. I think I'm a classic case...I have very bad "D" in the morning and then have nothing going on for 2-3 days, except gas and bloating that builds until the D day comes again. I've been trying to follow the diet (I stick to it pretty well, except for soda), I completed the hypnosis, started taking yoga, and have been using acacia and peppermint tea. But, I still haven't reached a stable place, even though my "A" cycle is pretty predictable.
Please let me know if you other A's have any advice for me. I'm thinking about seeking medication because I'm concerned that I might need something to get me to the next level, but don't know what works well for A's and don't have much faith that my doctor will either. Years ago, I tried Donnatal, Bentyl, and other anti-spasmodics with no luck.
Thanks for your help!
