I am going to hit the above 3 topics as I am condensing several months of recent experience into one posting.My IBSD had been improving through diet and supplements (which I will talk about in a minute) until I decided to try a couple of new approaches.Firstly Ibsacol - Be VERY careful in trying it. I took the dose recommended by the makers and ended up setting myself back considerably. I have acute and chroninc IBSD including all of the usual symptoms as well as loctose, gluten and insoluble fibre intolerance.Anyway after Ibsacol I recovered again through diet.Then I decided, after researching the subject, to try Chinese Herbs and acupuncture ( I'm a sucker for punishment). Same result as the ibsacol, another major setback, taking another 2 to 3 months to recover.So, diet has been the only thing that has worked for me. Now that I am not trying any new experiments I am feeling about 90% better.There are still a lot of foods I can not eat but I have banished the diarrhea and I am generally getting a good nights sleep. Even started a new job 6 weeks ago. Life is good Thank God.I am sticking devoutly to the diet and supplement regime recommended in Dr. James Scala's book - The New Eating Right for a Bad Gut. I am treating myself as if I had Chrons or Colitis and I have found it very effective.This is the only thing that has been very effective for me and I hope others can gain from my experience.
