Hi Everyone, My doctor wants me to take a 10 treatment of Provera (progrestrone) because my body is not producing it like it did and to regulate my periods. Have any of you experienced how Provera...
Renee, I take magnesium every day and its far from dangerous. Look at what's in supplements and in food. Magnesium is in everything. So obviously its not dangerous. I think its more of a myth....
Thanks Maya! Do you feel weak and hypoglycemic all the time? I am not consuming much more than I did before and I am gaining weight. I just feel so exhausted and have a really weird feeling alot of...
I only received one respone on that board. I appreciate your kindness. I posted on your board because it had to do with hypoglycemia and I thought others might of experienced what I am going thru....

Has anyone ever taken Depo Provera and has it effected the IBS in anyway like caused constipation or made you gain lots of weight? It concerns me because its a hormone shot to control your period and...
Thanks! How long does it take the bad taste away or is only a few min while you are chewing?...
Maxi, Also take Magnesium about 800-1000 mgs daily separated by 2-4 hours from Amitiza it works as a laxative but not in the way you think. It just helps me have a normal bowel movement. Lots of...
Hi Maxi, Do you take Amitiza on a full stomach after consuming most of your meal? If not, do so. That will help with the nausea. It took a couple of weeks for it to go away. Amitiza alone did not...
A lot of the bad things said about Amitiza is because people don't know how to take the medication and the Gastroendrocrinologist is not really advising their patients on how to take the med. My...

I forgot to mention one thing....if you are taking Amitiza for the first time my doctor told me to expect to have nausea for at least a couple of weeks and it should go away. ALWAYS take it 1/2 to...
Try taking Lysine along with Glutamine and that will help A LOT. Take it regularly....
Did the doctor tell you take Amitiza with a meal? If not, you are ALWAYS supposed to take it with food and I am referring to a meal not a small snack (not that you are not but I read others are...
I am on amitizia. It has been great! I had some side effects when it but I never do anymore. I found out that they came out with a lower dosage for people who are experiencing nausea after taking it...
Not sure if you have constipation or diarrahea but calcium can constipate you. I have found constipation can cause hunger feelings. Acid reflux can be from the IBS. If you have constipation it can...
I have taken it every day and it does help....
I remember when you posted about the motility drug and I am thinking about it. Everything doesn't work for everyone so I think that you shared it was good because who don't know who it could of...
Do you mean what is found in citrucel?...
Have you found that it can also cause indigestion? Acid reflux? I guess if it can dry you out and bring on constipation it can bring on indigestion which is a side effect of constipation. Any...

Glad to hear it helps. I was also told to drink warm water every morning before consuming any food. Still do and it does help but of course, I think drinkingl lots of water for those who suffer from...
Canyon, Do you take one or two pills a day and is before or after meals? Do you know if you can take it with Amitiza? Amitiza has worked excellent for me but sometimes I still back up and it causes...
Loni, I take Amitiza which works very good. Its for constipation...
Is Dicetel used for constipation and has anyone taken it? How long has it been around? What is acai juice and how does it work?...
Thanks for your replies. I have decided to up my magnesium and reduce the citrucel by one scoup and as of today I seem to be ok. I am not sure if it is the calcium or perhaps my body was reacting to...
I have IBS -Constipation and I have been taking Citrucel Fiber Smoothie for years with good results. It does not contain any calcium. I ran out the other day so I ran to the pharmacy to pick some up....
Mini Mouse, I am wondering if I am having food intollerances as well. How does this test work? Is it a blood test? Does it go thru your gastroendrocrinologist or your family doctor? Does insurance...
I wanted to get a book to learn more any advise on what is really good?...
I am on the medication and it is incredible. I have occasional nausea but my doctor told me to eat 1/2 my meal and then take it. If I get the nausea it goes away in about 30 min but it has done great...

I appreciate everyone's response. I think I am going to stay w/ my calcium with magnesium. I have read that magnesium can act as a laxative and it also helps calcium absorb better...
Try getting a calcium that has magnesium in it. 400 mgs of magnesium or more. Magnesium is a laxative and it also helps calcium asborb better. A good one to get is Tri Boron Plus which is calcium...
I am glad to hear its gone. Keep in mind, you don't have to have IBS D to get it. I have IBS C and my doc said its not surprising I would get it here and there. The only way to determine if you have...
You get be hypoglycemia. Its difficult to discover with blood work. You could look normal. I get hypo sometimes and as soon as I eat I feel better. My doc told me its normal to get hypoglycemia...

I saw results from Amitiza the next day. My doctor told me I would be nauseated for about 3 days and it would get better. He was right. I still have some nausea but its mild and only lasts for about...
