Answer 2

Neither will work..  The best thing would be to do what SophieW said.  Watch your diet..

Answer 3

You have to figure out what food is causing your IBS. Acupuncture can alleviate the symptoms, but unless YOU eliminate the cause, you won't get better. IBS is caused by something you are putting into your body. Herbs can do wonders to strengthen your system and eliminate IBS, but only after you find out what's causing it, and work to eliminate the food(s) so your system can begin to rebuild itself and function normally. Think of it this way, if you keep eating poison, you will continue to be poisoned. The only way to get healthy, is to stop eating the poison.

Answer 4

acupuncture - and not really, very little best thing is a reduced ffat diet - ive been almost symptom free for 9 months after over 10 years of IBS and its the best thing i ever did, by accident too, i was trying to lose weight and it just seemed to work! so count calories and you may just accidently find it helps!
