tracy
hi, i've had an irritable bowel for 10 years. i also have fibro. i was having a terrible time with it, always in the bathroom, till, i quit drinking caffeine and cut back on the fried food. i also know i can't eat broccoli or lettuce amongst a few other things. when i do go into spasm i take a prescription pill called "bentyl". it works great. hope this info helps you. good luck.
