Reena, I have been reading the posts in this forum, and was wondering how you are doing with your IBS. I know you are trying a lot of things, and was wondering how the alternative treatments were going. What is working? What is not? Thanks for the info... I hope you are doing well.

HI NIkki,

THanks for asking. WEll, these past weeks havent been the best. I'm not sure what is going on. What I mean is...I havent been exercising nor doing any sort of relaxation. Those things do really help. I have done some reading today on an ibs forum that I found very interesting. About the mind-gut connections. I will try to put that link in here so if anyone wants to go read they can. I have my peaks and valleys. I was doing better for the most part and I get discouraged when I have a hard spell. But, I will keep on trying things and eventually the pieces to the puzzle will come together.
