lbfjrmd is your HIMS AME, has made suggestions to you and you're coming here for input from this forum?

I'd say that, as importantly, you want to confirm you haven't been diagnosed with something other than IBS, because if THAT is in your records, there is the problem. One of the medical professionals may correct me, but if you haven't taken the medication for 90 days, you don't have to disclose...

Kwbear - How long from when you submitted the last pack to the FAA to your issuance? Congrats!
