This question is way too broad. It really depends on having some idea of when the problem occurs/what causes it & what if anything you've tried before.

My daughter (16) finally self-diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome & so long as she doesn't eat the wrong foods she's fine but any wrong food & she can be in major pain.

But there are other reasons/causes including, stress, other illnesses, allergies etc.

Actually too much fruit can be a disaster as can the wrong vegetables - in my case too many green leafy vegs & i'm in trouble & with my daughter potato, sweet potato, corn are all out - so we are all different.

Did She Try Zelnorm?

Hi,

i have ibs from anxiety - at least that is what my gastro said. It would start with really bad pains when I would eat fatty or spicy foods or even if I felt nervous or upset. I felt bloated and crampy all the time - like all of this air was stuck inside me. He put me on the zelnorm - 2x daily and after a day or two it kicked in. With me I had the stomach pains and constipation - some people have diareah. It caused me to have the bid d for only a day (side effect - says on the package insert) but then it worked fine. So long as I take it, I have regular movements, my stomach doesn't hurt. Plus the bloating went away and I can finally fit into my jeans again. Now if I can only get rid of all the other problems!Smile

take care,
kc
