I have IBS-D and it is raging out of control. It has been this way since April, at least, and getting worse. I use Heather's Acacia daily, as well as chewable benefiber. I have been on the "what to eat when you can't eat anything " diet for months. Every time I try to begin adding additional 'safe' foods my gut goes balistic. Peppermint & fennel tea each morning (I hate tea so this is a real accomplishment!) Immodium in huge quantities, Donnetal before each meal. I have Heather's cookbook and really try to follow her diet. No dairy, no meat of any kind, little to no fat, etc..... right now it's mostly bread (sourdough or sheepherders) and water, potatoes, rice milk (just a little), & plain pasta.
I saw my Primary Care Phsician last Friday and got a pat on the knee and a referral to a GI doc for a consult. My appointment isn't until the 26th of July and two more weeks of this looms like a big black abyss. I completed the hypnotherapy tapes in June. Please, does anyone have any helpful ideas???
Desperately,
Sharon in Calif.
