Hi, I'm new to this group & am desperate to find help. I've had IBS-D for about 20 years, but for the past six months it has made my life miserable. I, too, have seen numerous doctors and specialists over this time who just keep throwing different ideas out there. Worse yet, one physician made no recommendations or prescriptions at all & did not respond to my repeated pleas for help. I'm afraid to go to work or to go out socially & have isolated myself completely from work functions. I've missed more than my maximum allowed time from work, as well. Today, I'm sitting out of the office Thanksgiving potluck, frequently I miss the office lunches. This is not a condition you can share with others, so it just seems I'm being anti-social. I have tried diet restrictions, supplements, prescriptions. . . & like you were, I find myself living on Imodium presently. However, this doesn't solve the feeling of incomplete evacuation or the cramping. I've lost 15 lbs over the last six months & quite frankly can't afford to lose any more. But I'm afraid to eat unless I'm in my own home & have nowhere to go for the next few hours. I'm curious what other natural &/or prescription treatments you had tried before landing on this current regimen? And, are you consuming all of these at one time of day: morning, evening...? Thanks so much! I'm glad to have found a community of people with whom to commiserate.

Hi
I am taking 2 Phillips good fiber gummies and 1package of Metamucil multigrain wafers.(Cinnamon spice taste like ginger snaps). I was on up to 8 immodiums a day, Lomotil etc. This idea is my own and it is working for me, I have no bloating and can go out to eat without worrying where the bathroom is, I have also lost 15 lbs that I needed. I hope this can help someone else, I have suffered with ibs-d for over 20 years and I am finally getting my life back. Ibs-d contolled me now I am controlling it. Doctors were not sympathetic and tried to tell me it was in my head, just watch what I ate and would tell me to keep a journal of foods that I ate. They did not believe me when I would tell them tea could send me into the bathroom.
Please try this and I hope it works for you too, I know it is not harmful, Beneful did not help nor did Fibercom, only the combination I spoke of. Wishing everyone good luck. in 2 days
