Question: My sister has IBS!?
My sister has IBS as of last year, and since my parents once again dumped her at my husband and mines place to travel, we've had to take care of her!. Since testing week is coming up she feels very uncomfortable and is crying all the time about this!. I dont need to disrupt my parents on their vacation, but should i talk to her doctor!? She constantly complains also about sort of a spaz in her stomach!. I dont know what to do, and i'm pregnant so everythings just going crazy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son has IBS so I feel like I know where you're coming from!
I just recently found two good books !.!.!. the very best (and a quick read !.!.!. about 30 pages, then 175 recipes!) is "Eating for IBS" by Heather Van Vorous!. She has IBS and has done research (experience + science/ research = good in my book!)
I followed her recommendations for my son (lots of soluble fiber !.!.!. plain pasta with a bit of garlic salt is good, whole wheat bread is TOUGH on tummies) LOW fat (i!.e!. just about none!) and low sugar!. Never put a "harsh" food on an empty stomach!.
Also, getting lots of sleep and keeping stress down is important!. It's hard to be a student with IBS - my son misses class time because he's not feeling well, then gets behind which creates stress which adds to the problem!. It's a vicious cycle!
You may need to speak to her school and see if you can help out at school!. Once my sons teachers and staff were aware of how serious this is, they were very helpful!.
Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
