This week’s featured blog is IBS Tales by Sophie, a 27-year-old who’s had irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for 15 years. Sophie also runs the IBS Tales: Stories of IBS website which includes a collection of stories from IBS sufferers and information about IBS.
In the IBS Tales blog, Sophie writes about her own personal experience with IBS. For her 2006 new year’s resolution, she wrote:
I intend to spend 2006 looking for some real, genuine improvements in my IBS. Because I’m exhausted, and sad, and restricted, and so sick of being sick all the time.
And, she’s started the 2006 Save the IBS Cheerleading Hedgehogs campaign to encourage herself and others to seek effective expert advice and treatment. Good luck, Sophie! Hope both you and your little hedgehogs stay healthy and energetic this year.

Soory I got the email wrong. it is rangatira@cinchona-foundation.com
I saw your internet entry and decided to share my experiences. I am 53 years old and had IBS for over 12 years. However about 2 years ago I met a person who was visitng Sierra Leone looking at a particular plant whose alkaloids he was interested in and I talked to him. I had actually met him before and people said that he may be able to help. He supplied some product that one of his Medical Research Foundations make and within 35 days I had removed the IBS complaint and have been free since.It was a orally consumed liquid which is a dietary supplement and he did discuss with me that a lot of IBS cases result from overproduction of serotonin. From what I gather also this dietary
supplement coats the nerves ends preventing signalling the situation to the brain and at the time allows the body to heal itself. I understand that he also supplies it for Crohn’s disease, and Ulcerative Colitis. You can contact the foundation on rangatirs@cinchona-foundation.com All I can say is that I have got my normal life back.
Best of Luck.
I have just read a few of these posts and my heart really goes out to everyone that is still suffering.
Im 62 and in very good shape through eating right foods and exercising, yet, I still got this *&^%!!!!!!
Doctors were absolutely no help and it didn’t matter what I ate or drank, made me look like I was 6 months pregnant (I am sosososo way over that)
Also, it turned out that my 37 year old daughter was suffering the same way, yet, she had doctors tell her one thing one moment and another the next……
So we went on an education rampage to find out what was going on and what we found, in time, solved our issues and now we understood how this developed
This takes years and years to develope so just dont think that it was an over night thing and it wont reverse it self overnight either.
You can get back into eating regular food and drinks, but, hopefully then, you can have the education of not getting in to the same situation again
I have my daughters story at ibsthecure.com and I am sure that it will be very similar to yours
Any questions please leave a response on the last page
Good Luck!!!
Hi.,Had it over twenty yrs now but I learned to control it with diet.check out my blog.
Hey guys,
I had what was diagnosed as IBS for 15 years. Finally, I was diagnosed with anxiety which caused my IBS. Now I take Klonipin .2mg 3 times a day…..Haven’t had diarrhea in 2 1/2 years. I used to have it EVERYDAY! Try getting a counselor and see if it works for you!
Good luck!
Come check out http://www.IBSspace.com a complete social network and support group for those who suffer from IBS or who want to find out more!
I found a great website for people like myself who suffer from IBS. The site is very informative on all aspects of ibs and it includes several clinicals studies for ways of improving your life with IBS. They have a product called Regimint which improve my life unbelieveable! The product consist of peppermint and caraway oil in an enteric-coated capsule. I was able to try it first before buying it because they have a program called the IBS Challenge. For people having trouble dealing with their IBS you should go to http://www.regimint.com and try this product
I had horrible problems with IBS and other bowel disturbances for many years. A friend of mine introduced me to an amazing herbal tea blend that has made such a difference for my IBS. That’s why I started taking it and want others to know how helpful it has been. I’m always researching, so this is what I’ve found so far.
I had been suffering from IBS for two years and finally I got cured 100%.
I had diarrheal ibs and in six months I have lost like 40 lbs. I tried get treated in all way from Modern Medical science,Homepathy,Natual Pathy. But I got nothing from it. Then I went to India and there I learn Yoga for IBS. I did it for six month and gradually I was getting better.
Finally I am cured and I started eating everything like Wheat,milk product, fruits….
If u guys really want to be cured , u better start paranayaam yoga now………If u want my advise , please feel free to write me on tanweer_hasnain@hotmail.com .I will be more than happy to help you.
Good Luck

Hey Lei,
A while back you asked if I could recommend any good HIV+ blogs for inclusion in your Blog Of The Week feature. Well, lately I’ve been watching Acid Reflux: Life & Times of A Poz Guy, and I’ve found it to be an insightful if somewhat down-and-dirty account of living with AIDS from a man who has been living with HIV for over a decade. Check him out if you’re still interested.
