Yet another Motility disorder :-(

March 10, 2005

Hello all,

I have talked alot lately about gallbladder issues. Well it seems

after some very sophisticated tests that the problem here is IBS.

Irritable Bowel syndrome. Now, if you have been around this group

awhile you know I ma researcher. WEEEEL I hit the internet looking

for info and help. One of the first things I read listed IBS as a

motility disorder. Now I don't know about you guys but my first

response is C**P how many motility disorders can one person have.

Several years ago I was told that my " A " would lead to other motility

disorders as I got older and a virtual shutting down of the digestive

system sooner or later. I am beginning to wonder if that is true.

Has anyone else been diagnosed with IBS and if so were you told it

was a motility disorder? Also, has anyone been told if this ads to

the problems with reflux and spasms?

By the way, in my search of the internet I found several good natural

treatments for IBS. Aloe Vera being one, entric Peppermint being the

other and Fennel. There are others but those are the 2 major ones I

have found. All of these aid in digestion and help move things

through the colon.

Anyway, thats my report from the latest round of doctors. Back to

the internet to find alternative help. They prescribed Zelnorm but

it's 170 bucks a month I don't have and I have not insurance so I am

forced to be healthy rather then take drugs....LOL
