My neighbor said the only thing that helps - and it takes a while - is Pepto Bismol. She also can't drink anything cold or it starts a bout of the IBS. It almost seems like some diseases where there are many symptoms but each person has different symptoms or different reasons for it to start up. I know that Judy is in so much pain when it happens to her. It would be nice if researchers would find a cause or, even better, an effective treatment.
