Hi, I'm new here. I've been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome off and on since college (I am 31 now). I'm just wondering, has anyone with IBS noticed a sensitivity to caffeine and alcohol? I get really bloated-I can gain 5 pounds in a week-and have severe constipation if I have more than 1 cup of coffee a week. Alcohol has a similar effect. It just kind of stinks-I feel like I can't enjoy life as much and worry about my diet all the time. Has anyone found permanent relief? The doctor just tells me to get more fiber, but that doesn't seem to help.

Lynn,
You referred to enzymes as one of the supplements in #5. What type of enzymes are you talking about?
