Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Heather

Hi Donna - Welcome! I think your game plan is sound. You might tell your doc your goal of coming off Zelnorm and ask the best way to taper off once diet and other changes start helping you.

Here is dietary info to get you started asap web page and the diet faq web page

I'd definitely start a soluble fiber supplement right away - that will probably be key in getting constipation under control. Here's info web page

Make sure you're drinking a TON of water and exercising. Both are critical for C.

Also, if you want to go full-bore and take every avenue of help, check out the IBS hypno tapes (there's a hypno forum here) and see if you can start taking yoga classes. Both are terrific aids.

I think you've got a beautiful wedding coming up and that you'll be feeling good and able to enjoy every minute of it.

Best,
Heather
