    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I have suffered from IBS for a few years now and have found that if I leave off the milk it makes a huge difference and certain very spicy foods.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      I avoid dairy. I use lactose free milk and that helps. Spicy foods, chilis and other food tend to aggravate the problem.
      Bentyl Working / Worked
      It helps with some of the pain and cramps. Sometimes it makes me sleepy.
      High Fiber Diet Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes it helps but then on the other hand sometimes it doesn't seem to make a difference for me
      Imodium Working / Worked
      this also helps with diarrhea
      Librax Working / Worked
      was helpful for the stomach pain
      Lomotil Working / Worked
      definately helps with diarrhea
      Probiotics Working / Worked
      i take Align when I have a bad flare up and it really helps.
      Psyllium Somewhat Helpful
      might have helped
    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I assume that I have chronic fatigue syndrome. I have been to the doctor several times and explained to them that I just want to sleep on my days off and I am always tired. I never have energy for anything.

      Treatments

      Paxil Not Working
      I actually used this for anxiety. It helped but I was still tired.
      Effexor Not Working
      I am still just as tired as I was before.
