I have taken probiotics for years since having CDiff back in 2007/8. I am currently taking Florajen3 & Florastor but I am debating between adding VSL3 or the Garden of Life. I'd like to know what...
I've had watery diarrhea on & off for at least a week, maybe more. Last couple of days stomach area has mild pains, & lots of gas. Very tired. I don't think I have a fever. Short of going to the...
I've had a real flareup of what I think is IBS with diarrea, gi & midsection pain, gas. I had Cdiff about8 years ago & am thinking about going back to that bland diet temporarily. But I am wondering...
For some time now I have been having bouts of watery diarrhea several times a day, with urgency (sorry). Also I can often hear my insides gurgling. I have been watching what I eat & I can't really...
Hello all, A few nights ago I was woken up suddenly to find my heart racing wildly. I have had this before with anxiety attacks but not this bad & they always respond to deep breathing &/or getting...
I had a horrendous panic attack last night. As a matter of fact, I'm not even sure that is what it was. I have had them for years & have gotten used to them - if that is possible - & usually I can...
Probiotics for the GI tract Ever since an 8 month bout with Cdiff about 7 years ago, my Gi tract has never been the same. I have continued to take Florastor & Florajen3 ever since then, but I would...
I was bitten way back in 2007 by what may have been a tick. Did not have the classic rash but had mild fever & headache. Local doctors ruled negative. Igenex ruled positive. I went to an LLD but...
I've been bitten - fleas? no see'ums? bed bugs? - on torso front & back, armpits, groin, backs of knees, thighs. I have cats but they have all been treated. This is driving me crazy & has been going...
I couldn't find my original post - no excuse - so I started the above. My apologies....
Today was awful. The night before last I took my usual .5 Klonipin & woke at 3 with an attack. Took a half tablet & woke 2 more times with attacks! So last night I decide to try an experiment & took...
AngelLisa, Could you post those anxiety videos for me? I thought you had but I don't see them. Things aren't getting any better. I'm at the point where I realize that I am anxious about the anxiety,...
Today has been one of those days. I am tired & stressed out & am in borderline anxiety all day long. Last night I woke at2 with an attack (just TWO hours after taking my Klonipin!). Managed to get...
I am with you. I need to find some information on this diet (specifically how to get enough calcium while using it) but I see there have been no replies to either of you posts.. So I guess we are...
I am considering trying the FOD MAP diet for my GI problems but am concerned that it seems to leave me relying on calcium supplements to get my full complement per day. I know there are some other...
AngelLisa, I would love to have some links to the videos! Thank you! Re the post from Jake's Mom, I am a reader so maybe picking up a book I am reading might distract me from what my mind is doing....
Lately I am having awful anxiety & nameless/fear upon waking in the morning. It comes over me just seconds after I wake up & I can't get rid of it unless I get up & move around & even then I am all...
Hi Dawn, I am not familiar with the SCD but will check it out. I've been trying things on my own to see what works & what doesn't. Sometimes I think coffee is the culprit, sometimes milk. But SIBO...
Wondering if any of you have dealt with SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)? Its symptoms are so very similar to a lot of what we experience here: diarrhea, bloating, gas, abdominal cramping,...
What is the difference between irritable bowel disease & inflammatory bowel disease. And I don't just mean that in the one case the bowel is irritable & the other it is inflamed. What is the...
Almost as soon as I get up, within an hour, I have urgency & when I go it's runny/loose. Throughout the day then I have the urgency but when I go, it's mostly gas, with some gunk. No bloating, no...
Hi all, I had Cdiff about 8 years ago & my GI tract has never been the same, but what's going on now is something else again. Starting in the morning shortly after I get up, I have to go & it's...
I am wondering how many of you have had colonoscopies. It seems to me that diagnosing IBD can be very difficult given that some of the symptoms are very similar to early symptoms of colon cancer. I...
I am trying to determine just what is setting off my IBS or IBD or whatever it is. I wake up in the morning & right & within about an hour, I MUST go! Fairly loose. After breakfast & within an hour...
Since a long bout with Cdiff in 2008, my bowel function hasn't been the same. For one thing, I hardly ever have the hard stools that I now know were probably constipation. More common is soft to...
I'd like to know what recommendations are here for probiotics. Since my long bout with Cdiff 7 years ago, I have continued to take Florajen3 & Fluorastor. I did take VSL3 back then too. What are the...

Wisconsin. Born in New York City. At age of 2 was jounced at the lap of Babe Ruth who lived in our apartment building! Seriously....
I dream a lot, not nightmares or even bad dreams, just dreams. But lately I wake up after dreaming & immediately have a panic attack. It happened 3 or 4 times last night & I've been on edge all day....
I know what you mean. What wakes me up is not actually the worry but the anxiety. It used to be caused by something specific- like when my youngest daughter's marriage was breaking up & her husband...
Thanks! I am aware of this but none of the episodes I have are anywhere close to my intake of the magnesium. I would have thought that if I was going to react, it would certainly be following the...
I had Cdiff years ago & since then I don't think my lower GI tract has been normal. Now I think I have IBS & may have had it for some time but this summer it's gotten worse. I have gas & frequent...
Merrida, which breathing technique do you find the most useful? I have done deep breathing from the belly in the past but it doesn't seem to work for me. PP...
Kitt, I've been on 5 mg of Lexapro (down from 10) for ages. I tapered off Paxil years ago with no problems because I know to do it ultra slowly. I think I took 6 months for that one. It used to be...
I am waking up 2 or 3 times a night, starting at 3 am, with waves of panic. Sometimes I get up to go to the bathroom & by the time I get back to bed, it is gone & I can go back to sleep but only for...
I hate this wobbly legs feeling. I feel like they are made of noodles. And I am so dratted tired all the time. I've been on Lexapro 10 mg for years but don't think it's been doing me any good so have...
I have read that low magnesium can cause anxiety & conversely that taking magnesium can help lessen it. Has anyone tried this? I've been taking magnesium supplements for about a month with no change...
I don't know what I have. I do NOT have constipation or abdominal pain or cramping. I DO have LOTS of gas, some explosive diarrhea & diarrhea in general. Sometimes when I have urgency, it's only gas....
I have what seems to be IBS & have had it for some time. I had Cdiff in 2007/08 & maybe that was the culprit. But for quite a while now (6 months?), I have had loose stools & lots of gas. Sometimes...
