Hi all! Well, this morning I've been having yet another bout of IBS. I'm about to take some Imodium Advanced. I know it'll help because it always does. Be well

I have IBS & it's the worst. I would rather have pneumonia than a stomach problem. Not to mention it's gross & embarrassing! Anyway, I have started a high fiber diet and it has worked miracles. I take a teaspoon of metamucil in the morning, followed by a high fiber cereal. I have made my diet about 90% vegetarian...whole grains, fruit & vegetables. I still eat meat but only once or twice a week. My stomach does not hurt anymore & I can tell you exactly what time I will go to the bathroom each day. It took a couple of weeks before I felt better. It was worth it to change my diet. IBS was always the beginning of a PA for me, or if I had a PA I would end up in a bathroom for 2 hours. This was all on my MD's advice & I'm glad I took it. I hope this info helps.
