IBS Self Help and Support Group Forums - IBSgroup.org: Day 4 of TuZen...and snow on the ground - IBS Self Help and Support Group Forums - IBSgroup.org

Good Morning...I am hoping and still searching for a solution to my IBS symptoms. Today is day 4 of a probiotic called TuZen. My doctor highly recommended it to me, but it was difficult to locate. I had to ask my pharmacist to special order it. I haven't had a bowel movement in days, which was good in a bad way. I could leave the house because I wasn't tied to the toilet. I made it through the day, yesterday, without taking any pain meds (bentylol-normal pain and spasms, and morphine-horrible pain)...WOO HOO, that in itself is worth celebrating. I did feel sluggish and very, very nauseated so I broke down and took a gravol. The most unmanagable part of my life is my IBS, never knowing what my bowels are going to be doing. I have officially broke down and gone on a medical leave from work. I have had IBS for approximately 2 1/2 years and since June (of this year) my symptoms have been severe. I try so very hard to stay strong and positive about my IBS symptoms, so 1 good day is better than none. This site helps me to stay focussed. OH NO...aside from having snow on the ground (LOL) this morning, I have just had a BM...I wonder what the day is going to be like. I hope for a good day...take care, Carol.
