thanks Mel. My naturopath put me on to a very strong (and very expensive!) probiotic a couple of months ago. And I can't say what has been helping my poor digestive system, because I have been doing lots of 'good' things for it, but I have a feeling the probiotic has been one thing that has helped LOTS. The one I take is the strongest available.

IBS is terrible, and I was thinking the other day how it really affects your life. For me, it makes me nervous of being in situation where I may be at someone's home for instance, as opposed to being at a restaurant or bar where at least the toilet facilities are away from everyone... whereas when you are at someone's home, the toilet might be right by the living room etc, so people can hear you. It can be quite embarassing. And if you have gas, it can be embarassing too.

Good thing for me, is that my IBS is pretty much minimal at the moment. YAY. But yeah, I'm always scared it may be lurking around the corner... and sometimes it is, it just pops up unexpectedly.

Thats great you have yours under control with the probiotic. And bonus it raised your temperature.

Good luck with your program, its definitely inspired me to try BO.

Thanks ladies for your posts, I've now purchased swansons BO so am waiting for it to arrive.... lets see if it gets through customs... hmmm.
