Yes !!! I did manage to go to the acup yesterday. She was very sweet and nice. I will try to see her once a week for month and see how I feel. I hope and pray that it will help. I'm also thinking of buying the hypno for IBS. I heard a little of it and liked it.
I had such a bad day yesterday. My mother and my sister came over to visit and all I did was cry all day and all night. I was trying to be strong by not telling my family how bad I was feeling, but I couldn't take it any longer. I have a wonderful husband that's been there for me for the past 14 years, but he works full time and goes to college part-time. I'm alone with my 7 year old daughter must of the time and I try to do fun things with her but I haven't been able to. That makes me so sad(I don't want to start crying again)but I miss all the things I used to do with her. I can't believe how this IBS has changed my life, but I won't give up. One day, I might still have IBS, but IBS won't have me. I'm staying strong in my faith. It's hard for me to be positive when I'm having a really bad day, but with God's help I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me.
I'm still eating my prunes(4 today)with about 1 1/2 to 2tsp of flax seeds(whole)soaked in water every morning, but my BM are getting smaller every morning since Tuesday. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY????????? My mother thinks I should go back to see my GYN doctor because I had endometriosis and adhesions before(last year.) They removed those, but she says it's better to be safe.
I read that an IBS-C should take Magnesium supplement daily. Do you take that? or Do you know if that really helps for C? Also, Do you know about any good Chinese herbs for C that causes no cramps? The acup lady was talking to me about some, but she didn't seem to sure about a good one for IBS-C.
Enough about me...How are you feeling? Hope you are feeling much better. Are you going to be able to start acup soon. Hope you can start again soon. Keep me posted...
Always happy to hear from you:-) Thank you for your wonderful messages ! A big hug and blessings, Abi
