Does anyone have these symptoms

[YAGGER]

I have been told by my gastro that I h ave IBS.  I don't have diarrhea but do sometimes have constipation.  I get gas and bloating and cramps and abdominal pain almost everyday.  The cramps are the worst.  My gastro gave me a prescription but not helping much.  Sometimes after I eat I get more gas.  I sleep though the night with no problems but during the day I can have the gas for hours.  I am miserable.  This is taking a toll on me and my family.

Sorry Yagger, i forgot to mention an important part ,,
Do NOT take ANY milk and dairy products ,, atleast until u get back to normal condition,,, THEY CAUSE CONSTIPATION ,,, after all u do NOT  need it in ur diet anyway. u can obtain any goodness in milk and dairy from other sources like i mentioned with sesame seeds

This is my personal experience and study Yagger,, i just hope u r deciplined enough to want to follow what i can help you with. as there is a definate solution to  a normal stomach,, and the answer is Natural whole grains ( wheat ,, brown rice , oats ,, barley etc etc.)
and its something u will need to cook every day like I DO. and not to mention it is the healthiest food u can consume in the world with an unbelievable energy.
i personally use 1 part of each oats and wheat and 3 parts of brown rice, u can use brown rice alone IF u wish its not a problem.
Full grains can take more than 2 hours to cook,, BUT like many people i am a business an and i also do NOT have time to cook ,, so i ground my grains to speed up the cooking time (30 mnts),,i ground them to cemolina feel (reasonably fine) .
then  use approx 2 parts water to the total part of grains ,, and also keep a cup full of water next to u while cooking.
Add the water to the grains before u put on the stove (preferably stainless steel pot),, and stir them together , then start on high on the smallest one , constantly stirring and when u start to notice bubbles bring it down to about NO 2 level heat.(approx 3 to 4 mnts ), at which time u will notice it will start to suck the water and thats when u will start to add around a mouth full each time ( around 2 mnts intervals .
be careful it does NOT stick to the bottom of ur stainless steel pot, so make sure u keep stirring the bottom of the pot to avoid sticking. and keep at it as it will take approx 30 to 35 mnts. the mixture consistency  will be like a thick custard not runny and NOT dry. OR like a medium rice pudding.
When it is done,, while in the pot , (as grains ARE bland to eat ) i usually would add some cinnamon powder for flavor and some barley malt to taste , then i serve it in cereal bowls .
then i add some ( all raw and UNsalted ingredients the following ,,BUT most importantly NO additives and other rubbish in them ) pumpkin seeds , sunflower seeds , natural sultanas ,, some currants ,, crushed almonds and walnuts  ,, and then mix them all together ,, then i add some little cinnamon on top with some sesame seed(approx 1 table spoon ,, ur calcium intake for the day),, and enjoy.
NOW,,, that food is 50% of the equation , and the other 50% is CHEWING  , AND CHEWING  AND CHEWING .....each mouth full atleast 35 times  untill u can NOT feel any hard bits in ur mouth,,, like tomato paste.
also this can be taken as ONE and ALL of ur meals per day. also it can be eaten warm after cooking OR prepare the night before and have it room temperature the next day.
I am very sure u will be amazed what this will do for u,, as it has fixed my wifes IBS (diarrhea ) from the 2nd day she started eating it and from 5 to 7 times a day to the bathroom(including after every meal)  to 3 MAX times a day, and  now 2 times a day  in less than 2 months,,  BUT most importantly she is NOT a  slave to her problem.
other advise i would give u OR anyone ,,, and u can do ur research,,, do NOT consume more than 250 ml of liquid a day ,, and if u find urself needing more then u r intaking too much SALT or SUGAR ,, cut down on then and u will find u will be fine.
wishing u the best of luck and health
