I have my first appointment with an acupuncturist this eeek and I’m wondering if anyone has asked if acupuncture can help with IBS?
I use acupuncture for a back problem. On occasion it seems to help the IBS until I has diverticulitis.
Hi there, I'm new to this group. I have IBS c symptoms. Had anyone tried poopari spray or similar options? It is so embarrassing to have your family or spouse walk into the restroom after having an IBS flare. Any suggestions?
