Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Don't laugh - good probiotics and a bottle of something called Para Sheild. Go to a health food store and ask. My DH had it for a year and his dr put him through a lot before I put my foot down and got him on those. It's clearing up nicely.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 just thought i'd through my two cents in... also, in addition to probiotics, sometimes calcium can help. calcium can cause constipation, so in this case it can help normalized. the intestines are a muscle and calcium is an integral mineral for muscles. it's worth a try. and believe it or not, rice can help. it can help absorb water in the intestines. just have him eat some slightly undercooked rice. the only probiotics that i know that are good are the refridgerated ones at the health food store. don't buy the pills that are not refridgerated. and the liquid kind work better. and i would imagine kefir is just as good as anything else. -melanie , Neysa Dormish <neysa@a...> wrote: > Gayla Roberts wrote: > > >Don't laugh - good probiotics and a bottle of something called Para Sheild. > >Go to a health food store and ask.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I do not know enough about kefir to say what kind of " bugs " are in it and in what quantities. To make matters simple, I bought a bottle. I would make sure that whatever it was, kick start the digestive system with a big jump start.

Dr's advise me to take fiber caplets, any brand. They work for those that are constipated, but it also helps to add bulk for those that have diarrhea. It does NOT help with the associated cramping pain. Has she tried eliminating certain foods to see if perhaps she has any food sensitivities?? Also, there is a probiotic blend that my Dr. recommended, and it did help with the diarrhea really well. It's called Flora-Q. She can ask for it at any pharmacy...and possibly could purchase from a health food store. If she can't find this, any probiotic blend should help some. There really isn't much that I know of that helps with IBS....except for avoiding as much stress as possible, and eating healthy.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 I bought the capsules. I use dry probiotics on my livestock and I know it worKs. So I used dry on DH too. LOL I looked at ingredients of what I bought and I bet I cOuld have just capped up some of my livestock stuff!

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Neysa, Add 3-5 drops of peppermint oil to 10 ml of a carrier oil. I like virgin coconut oil as it also has inti-inflammatory properties. Apply it to the abdomen.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 > Phew, what a family! > Your Dad sounds like some special guy. Thanks....I kinda like him myself. > Candy, you say there is little relation between what you eat, with the > exception of yogurt, and how > you feel? Yogurt and Cultured Buttermilk. As far as actually making me feel better....I don't notice much of a difference with my pain level. But it DOES slow down the diarrhea most times. I guess this is a YMMV type thing. Where I can eat pizza, for example, someone else may have a terrible IBS flare up. For me, I can eat pizza today....and do just fine. Next time I eat pizza, my IBS will flare. I have thus far been unable to identify any food triggers to my IBS. > What, in the way of supplements, herbs or oils have you tried? I've taken probiotic blends, and the last one I tried did help, but it made me constipated. It was Flora-Q. Doc recommended that I take it only 2 or 3 times per week instead of every day. So, I am in the process of trying this out. I'll let you know if it works. > It must be so irritating for people who have spent years searching to have > other people > recommend things they have long ago done, in vain. > That's why i ask. Well, it really doesn't bother me if folks recommend something that I have tried before. Because it may have been years ago, and it might help me now. So, any recommendations I get, I try, unless it's something I *just* tried. I'm actually starting a journal.....to track my progress. Perhaps if I keep a very very detailed journal, I might find something 'small' that I have overlooked all these years. Wouldn't that be so nice?? Talk to you later!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Dear Candy, Great idea to keep a diary! Since you won't be offended, here goes the list of herbal things that I know have helped other people: Ground Flax seed Slippery Elm Aloe Vera Una de Gato (Cat's Claw) Sangre de Drago The last two are from the rainforest and are my business. I would certainly encourage you to try Slippery Elm first, it is great stuff and is a fraction of the price. And, since you have not found food triggers, we all know there is an emotional component to IBS. Please, you have all heard me say this a lot lately, but it is so amazing, please do look into EFT. Healing at your fingertips, for free. How good does it get. Unless you want to become a therapist yourself there is little reasonto buy the videos and such. Sign up for the free newsletter, explore the archives, and be prepared to have your mind blown! Great for calming down ADHD kids too. http://emofree.com for easy tapping instructions see Dr Joseph Mercola's website http://mercola.com Ien in the Kootenays ******************************* Stop.

I have drank Aloe Juice from the Health Food place, and OMG, I think I'd like the taste of battery acid better. <YUCK!> Couldn't drink enough of the stuff to know if it would help. I do eat flax seed fairly regularly....sometimes ground, sometimes not. I've not taken the other two you've mentioned. I will have to look into them. I've also taken Valarian and Kava Kava, because both are supposed to help with anxiety/sleeplessness. Didn't notice a difference in the IBS, but both helped me to rest. So far today.....my tummy has cramped a bit, but not terribly bad. And I splurged and ate pizza last night. I didn't eat breakfast this morning, and have only snacked on a few things today. I actually don't do too badly if I consume mostly liquids. But I get hungry after a while. LOL Thanks for the suggestions Ien. I will look into those, and if I decide to try them, I'll give you a shout!

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Ien, I have tried the slippery elm....didn't particularly care for the taste, and I didn't notice a difference, but I can try it again. > How long, and how consistently did you try the slippery elm? Have you tried " shake and gulp " ? I take this Fiber drink, and get it down by shaking the contents with some water in a 12 oz glas jar with a lid. An empty LiteHouse salad dressing jar. Perfect size. Gulp it down bravely, add some more water, rinse the sides of the glass so I get all the goodies and enough water besides. Una de Gato comes in a handy capsule form, if you cannot stand the taste of weird drinks and tinctures. But, try slippery elm first, together with EFT, for a month at least!
