      Have been dealing with IBS symptoms for approximately 4 years now.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      Since I've been diagnos with IBS I've been on four (4) different medications. The relief from the attacks have been four to six months.
      Xifaxan Working / Worked
      No side effects. Taking prescription for 5 months with no vomiting or runs. Does not prevent cramping or stomach pain.
      Simethicone Working / Worked
      Helps with bloating and gas. I take only when needed
      Distancing Somewhat Helpful
      When possible, will not put myself in situation that will be potentially stressful.
