Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hi .............I had a real problem with IBS for a while. I started taking a prescription med called Dicyclomine. It was relatively cheap and it helped. I then started a daily routine of Metamucil ( I would take it at night so it could work while I slept) and that took care of it quite well. Currently I dopnt do either and I dont really have that much of a problem.

A friend of mine with IBS was told by a Doctor of Naturopathy to eliminate wheat to help her. My friend never tried it because she didn't have the dissapline, but I know that it is doable because I've had to eliminate it myself.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 It is or can be inflammatory and related to some types of JA such as FMS, Lupus, MCTD.... I'm not sure that it's really associated with JIA in particular however there is a high co occurance of other inflamatory conditions existing together. Sorry that she now has this to deal with as well.
