Hence this blog. Thus the blog is a way to publicly record my tribulations and experiments in IBS management. For example, my life is comprised of a series of horrific bouts with constipation, aka 'being blocked'. I used to try natural laxatives like senna, but decided that this was not a long term solution. I am experimenting with enemas - nothing fancy, just your average warm water variety.
Food is important.
I believe I have discovered my major triggers, but I admit I am still clueless as to how to deal with bouts that seem to come from nowhere. No undue stress. Diet has been stable. And I am spending waaaay too much time online searching out any and every IBS site in the web universe. As this blog unfolds so will the story of the demise of my intestinal gnat.
