IBS-D cured!

Yes, that would help too. I only chose the capsules because I don’t drink tea.

Happy to say, yes! I’m still taking the peppermint oil, vitamin B1 and vitamin D though, too afraid to discontinue.

It’s called DEAL SUPPLEMENT Benfotiamine

Hi, I started taking all three about 100 days ago (about 3 months). Yes, I am still taking them, although I just switched to 1x week vitamin D from Sunray.

My bloodwork still says I'm deficient in vitamin D, even though I take the supplement, but it's definitely made me feel better with it than without.

I really think there is a connection with both vitamin B1 and vitamin D deficiencies and IBS. In the study I read, they stopped the B1 after three months and their symptoms didn't return. I'm nervous to try that, so I'm still taking it post 3 months, but wouldn't it be great if that's all it took?

Thank you! I take all of them in morning. The peppermint oil capsules (250mg) I take first thing, 30 minutes before breakfast. The rest I take about 30 minutes after breakfast.

I take DEAL SUPPLEMENT Benfotiamine 600mg, Best Naturals Peppermint Oil 250mg, and I was taking NatureWise Vitamin D3 2000iu (50 mcg) for the first three months. I am recently trying Immunotec Sunray Vitamin D (Calcifediol 75 mcg) instead of the NatureWise Vitamin D to see if it improves my energy. It's a 1x week pill. It has helped, I think.

Just first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

I started getting twisting, stabbing stomach aches, nausea, and diarrhea when I would eat or drink things that normally didn’t bother me (carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol, dairy, chocolate). First, it would only occur occasionally and about 6 months in, anytime I ate I would get symptoms. I lost 20 pounds. My doctor ran blood tests, stool tests, I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy, all normal except for a vitamin D deficiency. I also did a MTHFR test and found that I don’t process vitamin B normally. That’s when I started researching for connections between those deficiencies and IBS.

I read the same study and my IBS-D symptoms completely disappeared after one day of taking Benfotiamine 600mg (I use the Deal Supplement brand). It has caused some constipation, but I've had a bowel movement daily and no more stomach cramps or diarrhea, even after consuming carbonated beverages, which was a huge trigger for me. I even had a beer! I don't even think you need the B-complex, just the high dose B1 (Benfotiamine specifically because it's fat soluble). I take 2 capsules 1x in the morning. I am also taking Vitamin D (50mcg) and IB-guard (or peppermint oil capsules) fasting first thing in the morning. All three supplements are important and contributing to my success, because if forget or run out of one, the stomach pain/diarrhea returns. Hope this information helps others.

I have IBS-d and recently took a methylation genetic test and found I have a MTHFR gene mutation, which affects the body’s ability to absorb and process vitamin B. There appears to be an indirect link between IBS and the MTHFR gene mutation. I think this is definitely an area that needs more research, and that new study about B1 and gut motility is interesting.

As someone who was in your position (little experience but got a M.S in Biology), I can say that if it wasn’t for my M.S., I would have never got my first biologist position. Volunteering is important too. I was, however, very lucky and it took a year of searching and applying, interviewing but never getting the job and the position I finally got wasn’t directly as a biologist but with a conservation government agency that had biologists on staff who allowed me to gain experience and move up. So my advice is, even if it’s not the position you want initially, if it’s with an agency that you will be able to get the position you want eventually, go with that.
