First real relief in 27 years

Hi,

I first had symptoms in July 1998 (noisy intestines, diarrhea, foul gas, stomach pain, urgency). I’ve seen doctors in several countries and tried anti-spasmodics and 10+ treatments (2 scopes at both ends), but never had much luck.

Recently, I’ve had material symptom relief (50%+, but it’s only been a couple of months) with the following cocktail:

1. Apo-colesevelam, prescribed by my gastro-enterologist. This is the key, and I can finally get through work meetings

2. Omeprazole prescribed for my eosinophilic esophagitis, not certain it’s related to my IBS

3. Devrom - order online, effectively eliminates smell of both feces and flatus (was developed decades ago for people with colostomy bags)

4. IB Gard, which is peppermint oil pills - I’ll take this before meetings sometimes to manage sound, but I feel like it’s less needed than when I first went on apo-colesevelam in June

No promises it will work for you, but I felt a moral obligation to share some hope. I’ve been eating Chinese take out, processed snacks etc all week and have managed through some big work functions, never thought I’d get any relief.

DM me if more details helpful.

Good luck!
