Since I am new to the board and having been recently diagnosed with IBS, I joined this community in the hopes that I will learn a lot from reading the forums and speaking to others suffering from the same condition.Currently my symptoms consist of mostly gas, bloating, cramps and the occasional bout of diarrhea. Since being diagnosed I have tried to go the natural route with VSL#3. The results were fairly positive (70% better) but at $100 a month out of my own pocket, I thought I would try something prescribed that would be covered by my health plan. Right now I have been using Modulon since Wednesday and it has given me nothing but headaches, tiredness and feeling light headed and has made my bowel movements even worse!Can anyone suggest any natural or prescribed medicines that may help to relieve my current condition? I am fairly regular in my bowel movements (1 to 2 times a day) but it’s mostly the bloating, cramps and gas that bother me. TIA
