I have severe IBS. I have gas, gas pains, cramps, spasms, bloating, nausea, fullness from excess gas, headaches, constipation, diarrhea ( I got diarrhea 2 or 3 times from severe attacks. I swallow Altoids daily. Altoids are too big to swallow so I cut them to make them thin. I swallow 2 small Altoids after each meal but since I cut them, 2 small ones is equal to 1. I swallow 12 per day but it's really 6 since 2 Altoids make 1. Can I swallow more? I get severe attacks often. I never know when they will start and end, some lasted 6 days in a row. I recently had one and it lasted 8 days in a row. Should I only eat safe food til my IBS is under control or should I eat them forever? Is ginger tea ok to have? I read on a website most people with IBS have to wait at least 5 yrs. before it gets under control. Is it true? Should I eat foods that have 20% or less calories from fat til my IBS is under control or forever? Can you give me an example how to find out the % of calories from fat? I tried but I don't know how. I have baked rold gold pretzels the calories per portion is 107, fat is 0.6 I tried to find the % of calories from fat. I got 4%. Is it right? Please answear all my questions. My doctor is rude and cruel. He won't help me. He doesn't know anything about IBS. Thanks so very much Heather. God bless.
