I desperately need help for my IBS. Since my back surgery last Oct (2010) 3 day surgery, 38 screws rods, etc, my IBS has been on the rampage. Usually I keep it under control w/a salad here & there, fruit etc. & drinking some H2O. Since 2010, not 1 thing has helped. I go from horrific constipation to the runs. Can't tell what from when. Cause of the screws, it hurts horribly to sit on toilet & can't wear hard back brace. What I need is an excellent high fiber diet and/or IBS diet & just cannot find 1. I live with tears due to pain in back (sat on toilet up to 2 hrs going once (sorry). The constipation is not helped from the meds for pain but not ready to get off them just yet (2 loose screws). I go to PT so I do light exercise. Any high fiber diet and other suggestions? I also try to watch gluten cause 1 Dr. said I may also have Celiac disease. I heard that there are some meds (not Bentyl - it does not work for me) that are supposed to help. I will take any suggestions. Since I can't sit all the time, can you also email me directly pretty please. peacfulgal@roadrunner.com Many thanks to all and hope good health to everyone. ReneeTinaView Thread
