Hi Mark, keep us posted won't you. I have started Ibsacol too - been on it a fortnight at an extremely low dose so we'll see how I go.

Am still too busy to figure out how to post all the new info I have, but I do know one thing...Since I stopped the Ibsacol I have had three flare ups and a week or two of dull 'discomfort pain'. Everything else is constant (diet; meds - only 25mgs Of Effexor XR). Seeing as my current (and first in 7 years!) diagnosis is: "stealth" Celiac; Entamoeba histolytica; and 'type two' Hypothyroidism...it is no wonder that the Ibsacol helped. It probably soothed the constant mild inflammation, etc. It did take some weeks to have even the inklings of an effect, but I did get two and a half months or more of pretty much pain free conditions!More later, whenever some elusive 'time' shows up!!! Best, Drew

Christina, a thought about your concerns about the supply of Ibsacol as it's not from your country. The difference between Lotronex and Ibsacol availability is that Lotronex was not available in some countries because it had to pass licensing laws/reviews as it was a drug, and it got pulled because it had some serious side effects. Whereas Ibsacol, as a dietry supplement doesn't require licensing to be supplied to various countries, it can be sold just like cod liver oil or whatever is.I'm sure Dianne would be helpful if you emailed her at the address shown on the Ibsacol website.Good luck with the Shark oil, how is it thought to help? susan

Ok well I am back from my brief, but much needed vacation...The first time I took IBSACOL it gave me unbelieveable GAS/Bloating...The second day I only took 1 capsule 30 min before each meal instead of 4 and I still noticed a very uncomfortable amount...I stopped taking it (not wanting to ruin my vacation) and will start again with 1 tomorrow or the next day.Has anyone else had this problem?I was thinking of possibly taking beano with it...But If I have to do that every time, it will get too expensive.MarkI emailed Dianne, and she seams to think that this will go away after some time...So I am giving it a try.

Mark, sorry you had a problem with the Ibsacol. Just a couple of thoughts... the Ibsacol makes me fart more (expel gas). Which I was going to be a bit fed-up about, until I realised much to my joy, that the bloating (abdominal distension) has been reduced. Therefore I've come to the conclusion that the Ibsacol is letting me expel the gas rather than having it build up in my tummy. Wonder if this is the same for you?Another thought ... perhaps you could take smaller amounts for the first couple of weeks. I'm only on 1/8th capsule 3 times a day (for other reasons but there you go). I'm sure I'll work up to a 'normal' dose one day!Susan
