Pain?PeppermintAntispasmodicsAntidepressantsHypnotherapyCBT.For gasEat less starchTake probioticsFor diarrheaTake Imodium.
For pain -- I take antidepressants (150 of Zoloft) and Bentyl (Antispasmodics).For Diarrhea, I take immodium. (I never go anywhere without it on me)And peppermint tea really soothes me. I really focus on deep breathing. And yoga has helped so much.What year of school are you in? I know from experience that being in school with IBS is the absolute worst. And its hard to feel comfortable talking about it. As an adult, I ahve talked to a psychiatrist and that has really helped me deal with my major anxiety issues around having IBS-D. But I always carry an anti-anxiety medication on me in case I start to panic. I find that added anxiety only exaserbates the problem. (Clonopin is what I take as needed for anxiety.)I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I could help with. I know how miserable this is, but I know you'll get through it!Julia
