How do you manage daily life with IBS-D?

I've had IBS for many years. I've taken different meds in the past, but the last five years I've stopped taking prescription meds and daily eat the following: 1 serving of probiotic yogurt mixed into 1/2 cup fiber cereal in the morning, and five 0.52 GM caps of psyllium before bedtime. I use to have frequent bouts of diarrhea, and have reduced episodes greatly. My doctor hasn't needed to prescribe any meds for me, and though I still have periods of pain associated with IBS, at least I don't have to deal with the diarrhea issues like I once did. I don't know that this will be helpful for your particular case of IBS, but perhaps something to discuss with your doctor as a possible option to try.

THanks for the info. I do see my doctor tomorrow. I have diarreah, when it starts, at least 6-8 times, nauseated and just miserable. HAve pain. I do have a very interesting thing i do. I can feel a trigger, like a sneeze, after that i have nausea and diarreah. I know its weird, but this really does happen. I have been on Verberzi, a new med, for the IBSD. IT helps, i guess, but i get constipated. So I see my doctor tomorrow. AGain, thanks for the info

Well, i saw my Primary today and not much happened. Felt very down after. WE talked and I really thought he understood. His nurse made me an appt with a gastro doc. IT would be Sept 29. Okay that's a long time when you are dealing with IBSD and pain. The gastro doc is one who is not really liked and is "rough with people". I called to get anoher gastro doc and they did get me one but now it is Oct 13. I am really tired of dealing with this.
