Hi RachelI read your other thread and u sound exactly the same as me when i first had IBS. I tried peppermint and it didnt work for me. The best thing i have done is mikes hypno tapes- they really helped for the anxiety! im goin through a bad phase at the mo but i have been great! Try not to let it get you down i know its easier said thank done but honestly u wil get through it Luv Tasha x
