For you guys with pain of spasms in colon and back pain with IBS-c, here is what I do. I've had IBS for 25 years - mostly bad. However, I am always trying some natural treatments - some that I invent - and I recently toured Europe for 2 months - a lot of walking and carrying the baggage to the plane / train, and eating a lot of good food that was served - and I was surprised to find that I was surviving quite OK.
So I have decided to write a book: Life after IBS. I'm working on it.
Now for your pains, try this. For back pain: Eat Prunes - try cooked (or raw). When you are going to bed at night, take CMA, Calcium-Magnesium-Ascorbate, by Alacer. I only need to take 1/2 tablet. I use the one with Melatonin. It minimizes gas and aids sleep. Also You may want to take their EmergenC, vit C drink, during the day. Works like nothing else to relieve dense gas trapped by spasms in the colon that causes PAIN. Take homeopathic Bryonia Alba, 30x potency at night. Put one tablet or (2 pellets) in a clean, small jar with 1/2 cup of water and cover. Shake and sip about 1 teaspoon. Can repeat every 15 minutes for a few doses, and as needed. Good news - NO SIDE-EFFECTS. The indications for Bryonia are: Constipation with usually low back pain - WORSE MOTION, BETTER REST, feeling too warm, thirst for cold drinks - mucous membranes are all dry; also may have vertigo, pressive headache, eyes sore to touch and moving them, painful stiffness in nape of neck, bitter or lost taste, pit of stomach sensitive to touch, and maybe even nausea, vomiting and also irritability. May also have stools that are hard, seem too large, dark urine, fever, cough, tiredness, aching, rheumatic pains - stiching, tearing - worse motion, better rest, liver region feels full, sore, tensive, hot, with pains - worse pressure, coughing, breathing - also may have tenderness of abdominal walls. Does this fit any of you? I'll bet it does fit some of you - maybe at various times. I'd like to hear how it works for you. Maybe I'll put your case in my book, changing the name to protect the guilty, of course. Good luck Chuck
