My experience
Dear All,
I am suffering from IBS for the past 17 years. Mine was more diarrhea oriented and gets worse when I am stressed. I had to empty my bowels 5-6 times a day and more if I am very stressed. It was very uncomfortable and I was having low concentration.
I tried every medicine available, visited many doctors, but it came back with a vengeance.
Then I tried this: I decided that I will condition my bowel habits. I decided to empty my bowels only once a day. I suppressed the other urges. Yes, first week was very difficult, you have to pass gas etc., I would run to toilet, but I will not empty my stomach. And after the first week, it got better and better. Now I got just once a day, have better concentration etc. The quality of life really improved. Yes, there has been occasional urges, but generally it improved by itself. It is more than 2 months since I tamed my problem.
:)
I thought I will share my story so that others could benefit from it.
Regards,
Sam.
