Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

I've had IBS for as long as I can remember. It is frustrating and humiliating and I can't talk to anyone about it. If someone hasn't lived with it....they just don't get the emotional pain that comes with the emotional discomfort.

Treatments

Acidophilus Working / Worked

I LOVE ACIDOPHILUS. Of course I take four pills EVERY time I consume dairy...but it really works! :)

Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful

Avoiding dairy cuts down the gas...but I love dairy!

High Fiber Diet Working / Worked

Makes it worse! Too much Gas!

Imodium Somewhat Helpful

This is great when I get the runs...but it stops me up for days after use.

Miralax Working / Worked

Good stuff. Give it a week to work..once it does... :)

Probiotics Working / Worked

I've had the best results from these and miralax

Psyllium Somewhat Helpful

I like miralax better....it's more gental

Spasmonal Too Soon to Tell

I'm not sure how to use my prescription correctly...I usually take immodium right after...so I don't know what works
