#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Good that you went to the Dr...bad that he only came up with panic attacks. I suffer with Irriatable Bowel Syndrome and some of the symptoms are very similar. most of my attacks don't last for three or fours days ( only once did that happen) but normally maybe a day A IBS attack for me = severe stomach pain, bloating gasiness, nausea, vomiting, sweating, a very hot (to the touch) abdomen, uncontrollable abdominal pain and cramping (think knot in your stomach only worse, and it normally is followed or made worse with having to stay in the bathroom super close to the potty (not for the vomiting). It can be triggered by lack of sleep, stress, certain foods (dairy, presevatives) not having enough fibre in my diet...it's a lovely disorder.......NOT!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As for foods I normally have to due a liquid/ bland diet when it happens or the day after, lots of jello, drink as much water as possible, broth, sometimes cracker or toast, popsicles, (absoultey nothing with dairy or tons of preservatives....) I will eat yougurt after one but I have to buy lactose free as I'm lactose intolerant, but I find the friendly bacteria in yougurt help to stettle the tummy ans return bowel function to normal faster.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#You can buy something called rice pasta at health food stores and super markets, it's like spagetti, macaroni etc but made from rice so really easy on the system to digest.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I would also take you hubby to se a HOMEOPATHIC practiceanor (spelling) him and his sister. Mine is a GOOD ONE and has done wonders for the IBS where conventional medicine didn't help at all or made things worse. You would be surprized at what might be causing his sister problems, and him as well. Just a thought. It has no side effects and will not and cannot interfer with any medication he may already be taking......it basically can only improve things. HOMEOPATHIC MEDICINE is "NOT" HERBAL MEDICINE......it comes in little granules or drops you take by swallowing in water.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
