                        I have tried both holistic and traditional meds (peppermint oil, aloe vera juice, lotronex, hyocyamine, etc.)  reikki, hypnotherapy, yoga, etc., and I still have two or more ibs episodes every week.  Basically, the diarrhea is keeping me at home.  Imodium is not always effective.  I am at the end of my rope, and my husband, although understanding, can't cope with the extra responsibilities anymore.  Does anyone have any new suggestions that work for them?  If I miss one more important function in my children's lives, I don't know what I'll do.  Last year, my eldest son made the All-star baseball team, and I missed every one of his games.  Thanks.
