Hi April,
I can relate to your frustration on many levels. I too have suffered with IBS, I discovered a couple of years ago that taking digestive enzymes helps me greatly, the ones that work for me best I get at GNC called Multi enzymes. You may not be difficient in the same areas so other pills might work for you, for example my aunt is fine with papya enzymes (they do nothing for me).
Then last July I started with The SP, and that has made all the difference. I now generally only take 2 enzymes in the morning, that is a drop from anywhere from 6 to 9 a day.
You may find that do be a great help.
Tanya
