I have been diagnosed with ibs and on an
onset I take a tablet that is disolved
under my tongue however it usually doesn't
help. I get very bloated in the abdomen
area as well and end up getting chill
bumps all over and cramping in a fetal
postion. It's aweful!!!
I'm just now getting to know what foods to
stay away from but it's still fairly
new..
Does anyone else know of any other
treatment options?

I find it hard to believe that nobody on
this forum has ibs...
Anything would be helpful. :(

I suffered for about 5 years with appaling
stomach cramps and vomiting. The doctors
were hopeless, and I tried various drugs,
such as anti spasmodics, but nothing
worked. Peppermint pills (colpamin) eased
the symptoms, but it was usually 8 hours
of suffering waves of pain.
As a last resort a friend did a
kinesiology test on me, and identified
several foods that she said I was
intolerant to. These turned out to be tea
(i drank about 20 cups a day!), red
peppers, and a few other things. Willing
to try anything I cut these foods out, and
also drank more water. I haven't had an
attack since, and that was 2 years ago.
I would recommend that anyone suffering
from ibs symptoms to check intolerances
first. Either a nutritionalist or
kinesiologist can do this for you, or you
can test yourself. Kits are available:
