this makes me very hopeful for this medication! I was worried about getting constipated since that happens to me sometimes, os that’s good to hear. I’ve also read up on the vagus nerve so realizing this medication will help that “gut-brain communciation” is also comforting. I’ve really struggled over the past 5 years to find anything except food eliminations that help my ibs so i’m excited to try this. Thank you for your response ☺️

thanks! This helps because i wasnt sure when to take it really. My doctor just said take it as you need it but i feel like being pre-emptive is more effective!

totally agree with you. My stomach only works at 40%. I eat 1 meal a day w yogurt & snacks the rest of the time. I don’t get hungry till 3 or so. I don’t eat a lot of sugar, no acidic foods, marinara, pizza, spicy, no coffee, soda etc. The z Dr said nothing raw at all, it doesn’t digest. I haven’t had a salad in almost 5 yrs. The better lettuce the worst it is for me. It’s very hard to eat meats, I hate it! So I eat different cards. No quinoa- it kills me!! I choke a lot so I eat carefully.

thank you for you response! I also went 5 years being diagnosed with IBS, seeing 5 different doctors, and my current doctor who I’ve been with for 2 years was like, try this! So I’m hopeful haha. Could I ask what test you take to determine your stomach’s working capacity? 😄 that’s fascinating to me! Because I also burp a lot and someone told me that’s because Im not digesting food properly but then digestive enzymes did nothing! I also avoid raw foods but mostly because they give me stomach cramps and gas and generally taste worse than cooked foods 😂 i can’t tell you how many times I also felt like i had an alien inside me (like the movie!) it’s so scary!! Glad to hear Im not alone but also hope you’ve found things that help and continue to evolve with this condition. Be well 💕
