I read a A LOT about the IC valve (Ileocecal valve) and how a massage can help people with IBS ... so I tried. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but it seems like my symptoms are getting worse instead of better.
Anyone with experience?

Definitely if your symptoms worsen, I would stop the massage. I haven't read up on the IC valve before or massaged it, so I can't offer experiential advice. But if you don't feel well doing it, I would stop. And perhaps, there is something going on in your IC valve? Maybe inflammation of some kind. Would be worth letting you doc know? -Elizabeth (team member)
