Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi - Sorry you're not feeling well at all. You can definitely make your ginger tea stronger - as strong as you like, actually. Try a good tablespoon of fresh crushed ginger per cup of boiling water.

You can order Citrucel or other soluble fiber supplements from medichest.com. If you can't order on line they have telephone number on their site. You might try Equalactin - people who have been unable to tolerate other soluble fiber supplemets have had good luck with this brand.

Colpermin is a brand of peppermint capsules. You can get any brand - they should all work. Health food stores would have these. Peppermint capsules have really good clinical studies in support of their effectiveness in IBS. There are some people on this board who use the brand Pepogest and really like it.

Have you read the "breaking the cycle" info and the basic dietary guidelines? Those pages are web page and web page

You should also post on the hypnotherapy board here for advice. Hypnotherapy for IBS has worked really well for people who have severe symptoms that did not resond to any other treatments.

Best,
Heather
