Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I could have written your post as I struggle with the same thing. I could have gone 5x before I left the house and know I don't have to go and lo and behold, get in my car, away from a bathroom, and suddely feel the urge! It drives me nuts!

I have really tried to figure out the mind/body connection. It's so strong. I've been thinking positive things. (Bev on the board has helped me with this). She suggested Michaels' hypnosis therapy. IT's a link on the board. I'm sure someone has pointed you in that direction. As for me, I find that repeating some scriptures that deal with anxiety help. I also started taking "relora", a herb that is supposed to help with stress related eating. I figure it couldn't hurt in stress induced bathroom visits!

I also have done some research on some amnio acids that are supposed to help with the mind/gut thing. I'll let you know if it works for me!

I know most of my problem lies in my head and not my intestines.

I wish you success!
Sandy
