While I was never officially diagnosed with IBS, I have had years at a time with the same problems that you are describing. My 60 yr old sister has had even worse problems. That is until about 5 years ago. She had her routine colonoscopy and got some priceless advice fro the new doctor. We both now take 2-Vitamin Shoppe "Ultimate 10 Probiotics" capsules before going to bed and avoid any milk products and sugary carbs after dinner. To quote my sister, "I poop like a little kid again". In the morning, the morning constitutional is like clockwork and forgotten for the rest of the day! We always get to enjoy Happy Trails!
I don't want to sound like a know it all, but I also lived on Pepto. When I had my colonoscopy (lost my dad, his mom and 3 of his brothers to colon cancer), the doctor said ABSOLUTELY NO PEPTO! Immodium only. It works just as well as far as I am concerned, but I follow the doctors orders. I truly hope that you all can come to a great solution to your similar difficulties. It is a real pain in the arse for sure.
