Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Been right where you are.

Have you gotten your IBS to a managable stage?
This is what I would do when at my worst.
Take toilet paper with me,know where every bathroom is,take extra clothes(just in case)ALWAYS carry Imodium or pepto bismal.Munch on safe breads and pretzels.Constantly.

That was until I found this site.Now what helped me get stable was to follow the EFI diet.Even after getting stable I still had panic attacks.I finally went to the doctor and got some anti anxiety meds.Low dose Lorazepam.
It really helped.That was two years ago and I only took it when totally stressed out and having a bad tummy day.

I maybe used one a month and only half a pill.I still have part of the bottle left.24 pills in two years and still have a few left.I can live with that.

I don't know if at 15 you can take them but I think you should talk to your doctor.

Have you been to the doctor to make sure that is what you have?
The hypno cds really helped too.
