IBgard
Hello all. Still having lots of issues with IBS-D. Seems to be in connection with stress, even mild stress or in connection with my monthly cycle. My GI doctor would only prescribe me the old drug that's been around forver(forget the name but it slows the gut). It works great but it makes me extremely tired and constipated. I'm finally giving IBgard a try after reading about it on this board. Wish me luck! Any success stories with the supplement are much appreciated!

Re: IBgard
IBS has become my daily reminder of C. Diff, even though I am 4-1/2 years since recovery. It has really affected my life and I have to plan my activities around it. I take Bentyl when it gets really bad. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat or don't eat. Of course, it is worse if I indulge in obvious triggers like spicy food and sweets. I tried the peppermint supplement but that irritated my bladder. I wonder how many of us still suffer from IBS years after C. Diff. I read somewhere that the colon takes a very long time to completely heal after an infection like C. Diff. That would explain a lot, but doesn't help those of us who are still suffering the side effects. I'm just glad I'm retired and don't have to go to a job every day.
Aloha to all,
Anne

Anne, I suffered for well over 4 yrs with an extremely severe case of PI IBS. I had IBS lifelong but not like this. I used questran, then Enteragam, always with Levbid, until about 8 months ago when I took xifaxan. For me, it has been life changing.
