I have had IBS for 20 years and I am 39 yrs old. I am worn out. I feel like a big stress ball because of it. I have to deal with countless hours on the toilet daily, and have to follow so many rules in my life like always driving my car places so I can leave if I have to, never going to dinner then a movie it has to be movie and then a dinner. I won't go place with people for fear of stomack attacks, My insides feel like knots most of the times and I have started to have anxiety attacks in connection with the IBS. I just want peace. I am naturally high strung and I am sure that doesn't help my IBS. I told my doctor I just wanted a break from myself. I know long term use is not supposed to be the way to go. But you know what, I took my first 1/2 of a pill today at work, and I feel such a calmness and I love that feeling for a change. Even if the doctor will not let me stay on it, this break from myself will be well worth it. I did try this diet and the acacia and I drink peppermint tea. But Carbs bloat me and give me extreme gas, and many of the items are not safe foods for me. I don't think there are any. After taken Acacia the first night, I woke up with this rumbling inside and I already have extreme trapped gas problems. It did not feel good. I know I am going on, but I was just letting you know some things. Thanks for your concerns.
