 So, I was just wondering what everyone's symptoms are and how they handle them. Are there any treatments that you find to work the best? the worst? Any good recipes for foods that don't flare IBS? Any suggestions on what to stay away from?

For me, I have to steer clear of Mexican food or anything that is heavily spiced. A lot of dairy products are also bad. I take anti-convulsants to slow down my digestive tract and they seem to be working.

I'm excited to share with this group!

Agape.

 I have had bowel problems all of my life. When I was young (way back in the dark ages) I was always constipated to the point that I would develope impactions. When I was 30, I suddenly started having diarreha. I started having abcesses that had to be drained. My doctor at the time would not believe that I had Chron's disease until I got so dehydrated it was affecting my heart.

Any way, I now have constipation that turns into immpactions again. I take 2 stool softners, 4 stool softners and Miralax every day and still have problems.

You did know that IBS can cause both extremes didn't you?

I'll shut up. Donna

 hi, i'm new to this site and glad to have someone to actually talk to about IBS.

I go from one extreme to the other. I did cut out dairy but for another health problem but it seems to help the ibs. hope you hear from others soon on this site.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel -- but it's a train about to run over you.
