Irritable Bowel Syndrome Treatment

Question by michelle: I think I have IBS but I stopped eating in the morning and my stomach better?
I think what I have is Irritable Bowel Syndrome but I have been to several doctors and there guess is as good as mine. I stopped eating in the morning and don’t eat until 1pm or later and I have not had any problems with my stomach after that! I know not eating isn’t the best thing but it’s better than having an accident or killer stomach pains. Anyone else have this, not being able to eat in the morning?

Everyones’ hormone cycles are different, which includes men and women. There may be a particular hormone that is really high or low for you in the morning, and inevitably causes you to digest food improperly in the morning. IBS is a diagnosis of exclusion, meaning the doctor can’t figure out what is it, so they go to IBS. There isn’t an actual TEST for IBS.

I just need some order in the..ahem..poop department. Since I started dieting (to 1,400 cal. a day) my system has stopped.
They are expensive, so I am not planning to include them in my life. Can I just use them for a while? Will the good “culture” stay with me?
