Opiates addiction was treated with Methadone at a hospital! What a freakin Nightmare! He needs to get off the methadone, but the IBS will be bad again... Anyone that has IBS... Any real suggestions? He also suffers from severe acid reflux.

My son has been on and tried all commercial & prescription meds for the acid reflux! That is just another condition besides the major one... IBS with diarrhea.

Yes, he was diagnosed with IBS about 5 years ago!

Roots... My son is not very computer savvy, NO, he does not live with me... he is married, and the opiates were given to him by a doctor, for the extreme abdominal pain he suffered. Opiates have a side effect... they can make you constipated... which worked for his diarrhea! Oh! My GI is just fine!

A personal visit to a naturopath or homeopath would be in order. I don't believe that peppermint and aloe are the best solutions in this case. I'm afraid that they would mask symptoms instead of balancing the body. Normally, I would recommend these two therapies, but that doesn't feel right in this situation.
You can check with your local health food store to see if there is a naturopath and homeopath that they would recommend. These two therapies may be used in conjunction with one another, just make sure both therapists know all he's taking. If you're lucky, you can find a naturopath skilled in homeopathy.
If your health food store cannot recommend either one, you can check the sites below to find them. I have worked with several graduates of Trinity College of Natural Health and been quite satisfied with their knowledge.
Please feel free to email me if you have further questions.

Make sure to test that it's not Ulcerative Colitis or Crohns Disease, the former could potentially be life threatening if left untreated. Immodium AD is a medicine which is made from opiates, but has none of the severe addiction side effects and doesn't affect the brain.

Peppermint Plus by Enzymatic Therapy often works wonders for IBS patients. It is certainly worth a try. I have had great success with it.

You may want to start him on an acidopholus mixture ( probiotics) 3 capsules taken 3 times per day with each meal.Buy the best one that you can afford from the health food store. He may have a serious overgrowth of yeast in his digestive system and that should be addressed.Chinese medicine is a miracle cure for hard to treat cases. Acupuncture can help with the addiction and acid reflux as well as help to rebalance the digestive tract . The neat thing about it is that they can treat several conditions at the same time!You'd have to take your son a minimum of twice per per week in the beginning and then less later on.Don't give up hope. Help is out there if you're willing to try an alternative method.Traditional doctors sometimes can only do so much.I hope he feels better soon.

hello,
There's a lot going on here & part of the story seems to be missing. ... where is your adult son who should be looking himself for help ... and opiates are not usually prescribed for GI disorders, so what has happened here ... possibly there is a not-mentioned problem complicated by severe IBS with diarrhea.
These latter are serious. Condition did not appear overnight & healing the GI will take time plus hard work. IF, and only IF, your son makes this choice for himself.
Best step would be to contact the most highly-accredited college of naturopathy you can find in your area. Ask if their leading profs in nutrition, naturopathy have private practices. Failing that (can't afford that) the school is likely to have an inexpensive intern clinic with their most advanced students who will, in turn, consult their leading profs. One way or the other your son will find help.
The broad general approach would be to heal the GI through diet modification, lifestyle changes and judicious use of herbs & homeopathic products.
The first stage would be to control the acute inflammation. There are many herbs and foods that will help. In a second stage, once the patient has stabilized, the goal would be to heal the intestinal tract with a combination of healing plants, proper dietetics and an ever-improving relationship with food.
Does this adult son live with you? Get him to move out. How is your own GI? Can you start nurturing yourself?

My brother uses enteric coated peppermint for his IBS. You can find it at any health food store.
