Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Poor circulation--Tapping Kerrie

Ruchie,

That's so kind of you to say! I am touched to think that advice I can give could help others. All the wonderful people on this board have helped me so much.

My son is adorable, thank you. Although I have just emailed heather a new, more recent photo to post and he's not in it! He is 2yrs and 4 months and we love him to pieces. He's very special (I had a hard time getting pregnant). We are currently going through IVF in the hopes of a second child. So it's pretty stressful when suffering IBS on top of all that. My next embryo transfer is planned for the middle of may so hopefully I will have some good news to share shortly after that.

Yoga has helped me a lot. Probably more in mind and spirit than reduction of IBS symptoms. Like you I find some postures are great for relieving gas and bloating. I usually do a bedtime routine that includes lots of spinal twists and I have found they help constipation. It has really taught me to relax and take time for myself which helps deal with the daily stresses of IBS. Especially the breathing! I didn't realize how much shallow breathing I was doing before.

I have just ordered the IBS audio CD's so I am looking forward to trying those as I have heard lots of good things.

Thank you again for your kindness and keep me updated as to how you are going.

All the best,
Kerrie
