" The whole thing with IBS and all its symptoms is so frustrating. It's so hard to find and identify triggers. The Dr's really can't pinpoint anything definite since it's different for each person. The anxiety and stress it causes just makes it worse. Right now I'm in a stress clinic. I hope it helps. I always worry that it's something way more serious.This just adds to the symptoms.....Catch 22. Hope you can find something to help with your symptoms. "

" I was prescribed {PROTONIX} for acid reflux and this seemed to help keep the symptoms of the attacks few and far between. But never try meds without a doctors consent. Also, a dose of maloxx or generic liquid acid reducer 20 mins before eating will help for a little while untill you find a loo. But the symptoms, diarrhea, cramps, pain and bloating, e.t.c. will not be as bad. Worth a try. Good luck! "
