IBS treatment

[Linda51]

My husband has had IBS for around 6 years and has had all types of treatment. He is trying as a last resort acupuncture and chinese medicine at this chinese doctors. Has anyone tried this and if so did it work.

I tried all sorts of 'prescriptions' to no avail and went on to do some self help at a health food shop.
Peppermint Complex (by Jan De Vries) sold under the name of Bioforce helped me a lot. Its totally natural and has a percentage of peppermint in it which calms and relaxes the colon.
Its like Superlube for the body really. I am very rarely bothered by the symptoms now.
I also cut back most gas-producing foods like onions and most green veg too which helped.
