Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Maybe he could go to school as he symptoms lessons, but be given special (medical) permission to go to the bathroom WHENEVER he needs to.

Also, you can petition the school bored to let him retake tests (he said he failed last nine weeks) b/c he has a documented medical condition.

Also, go in each semester, explain his situation to his teachers, and give them some literature to read. I am sure that with a little knowlege, they will be more understanding.

I really feel for your son. He is lucky to have such a caring, concerned, GOOD mother! You guys will get through this... please keep us updated.

Is the fiber helping him?

It takes 2 wees for the GI tract to rebuild healthy tissue and cells. If your son stays away from triggers (fat, dairy, caffine, etc) for 2 wks and limits insoluble fibers (though not eliminating -- eating a small amount after eating soluble fibers), I think you will see good results.

As always, I recommend pro-biotics (Jaro-Dophilus EPS is less expenseive and works).

*Mazel!*
