@timely The zanax does stop the burning. That's the only thing that will stop it. I am going to a gastro next week and hopefully she will take me off the lyrica and put me on something else. I had an arterial gram done and it showed that I have mild peripheral neuropathy in my legs. I am trying to help that by riding my stationary bike every day. As for the IB guard I have some of it and it seems to burn my colon.
