My gastroenterologist diagnosed
my irritable bowel syndrome - IBS - about two and a half years ago. I remember
he explained about how the intestinal nervous system gets confused, and
involved when there's migraine issues. IBS is, apparently, a common diagnosis
when migraine conditions are present. This info was very helpful. I can have only
mild migraine symptoms, and also have distinct IBS symptoms (sometimes in the
moment, sometimes delayed).
My doctor prescribed IBGard.
Unfortunately, he didn't give me any directions on how to take it. I wish I had
asked more questions at the time. I have now, finally, educated myself by
looking at the IBgard site, which thought somewhat repetitive, is also pretty
informative. I listened, and now understand much more about IBS, how IBGard
works, and how to use it.
It's going to take time
for me to recover - at least a few weeks. Hopefully not more than that. If I'm
not seeing definite improvement in a month, I'll contact my doctor, but I know it's too soon now. One of the main
ingredients in healing, is time. It's so hard to be patient. I hate that
setbacks feel like they hit so suddenly, but recovery is always a gradual
process. But that's how it is.
One day at a time.
One day at a time... keep
breathing... take care of myself.... one day at a time.
