Bowel urgency: Any suggestions?

I have been diagnosed with IBS and have the same issue. And, it really is a vicious circle when I travel or get out of my usual routine. I take IBGard for IBS. I also take a low dose of Prozac for anxiety and hyoscyamine occasionally for flare ups. And, of course, I always have to watch what I eat, as certain foods always make my IBS worse.

Sounds like we have a similar regimen…peppermint tea in the morning ( although I think about trying the IB Guard), Imodium and Bentyl if I have a morning activity or travel, ativan as needed for anxiety. Different doctors, different suggestions…
I really wanted to go the non drug route, “natural” remedies, but also had too many uncontrollable bowel events. So I’ll do whatever I need to to avoid that!
Learning from each of you that I’m not a freak! Thanks for aharing.
