OK OK.  
So we have the move, and the house to sell, and have the potentiality of being homeless, and I am having to sort through numerous amounts of crap and decide if it is "movable or crap".  We will be changing income brackets, and are scouring the markets for a home, looking at school districts, churches, businesses etc.  
And my Irritable Bowel Syndrome has resumed.  
I have IBS.  But only when I freak out.  Which is good.  About 6-8 years ago it was a chronic problem, but my Mom was dying, I had a cousin dying, and an Uncle dying, and two Aunts with breast cancer,  we were moving, my DH was getting ready for a deployment, and I was packing our apartment, I was workign 40 hours a week caring for 33 people, some of them on Hospice care.  I had terrible IBS, and an eye twitch that was constant.  All I needed was some sort of hump on my back and I would have been a real looker.  
Anywho, the IBS has started back.  Nerves I suppose.  I have been lucky, I have had very little in the way of stress for years now.  I mean real stress.  No death, or hospitalization, deployment, illness.  I have been lucky and I know it.  The yoga should help, and I need to resume a diet with acidophilis in it, or supplement with acidopholis.

*hugs* I don't personally know how hard that can be, but I had a roommate with IBS and I know how much she suffered with it at times.
I have IBS, have had it since I was born. Fifty years of experience have taught me a lot.
Hot chamomile tea for the cramping and hot peppermint tea after every meal. [this is during the bad times-usually I just have one after dinner.]
Herbs: Pau D'Arco to heal the colon, anti-spasmodics and soothers like slippery elm, marshmallow, ginger, dong quai, bugleweed.
Most herb stores have blends of the above. I use Nature's Sunshine brand exclusively and have had great results.
IBS is horrible and I feel ya, I really do. If I can help in any way just email, k?
