Emma’s experiences with IB-Stim have been nothing short of amazing.

Emma had gone 9 months of horrible stomach pain that led to many E R visits. Her daily life was being affected from the severity and frequencies of her episodes. When she would have an episode of pain she would literally curl up in the fetal position and just wait for it to pass. Sometimes it would be quick and gone with in 15-30 minutes, other times it would last for hours and we would end up in the Emergency room.

Every test came back normal, and medicines wouldn’t help that much. The IB-Stim started working immediately. She went out to eat Mexican food the next evening to see if it would work. For the 1st time she was able to eat what she wanted and did not end up sick and in severe pain. She has been pain free since! As a parent it’s so hard to see your child in pain with no answers or relief. To see her crying in pain and her life being affected is heartbreaking!

Now she is able to do her schoolwork, she is looking for a job, and is able to enjoy life again. To go from 9 months of pain to nothing is almost unfathomable! We are so appreciative to have been given this opportunity! I hope others are as blessed and able to use the IB-Stim and experience this kind of pain relief!

Our son, Lincoln, has a severe food sensitivity to dairy. What many didn’t know is that he has suffered with chronic stomach pain the majority of his life. He rarely shared the fact that he was in pain with others. It was just what he thought he would have to deal with in his life. Seeing him in pain nightly was pure heartache for us. He needed ice packs or heating pads and would clench in pain. We felt so helpless as parents. We have tried everything from Dr. to chiropractor to diet and GI scopes.

We have learned good info from these but nothing took away his pain. All tests came back negative for any serious issues which we were blessed , but we still had no answers. Last spring I came upon a post from a high school friend who wrote about her son and his chronic stomach pain. It was EXACTLY the same symptoms as Lincoln was experiencing.

Her son had a device called IB Stim placed on his ear to alleviate his pain. It was a success and I reached out to learn more. After researching and ruling out any serious issues, we decided to go for it! It has been a month long process of having the IB Stim on his ear. Today we took it off and am happy to report we have a pain free boy!! To not have him come home from school in pain or lay awake at night is a miracle! He finally gets to be a child and not live in constant pain. We pray things stay great as they have for my friends little guy!

I share our story so that we may hopefully help out more families who have children who suffer from chronic stomach pain. Our Dr. was experienced in this and we all felt very comfortable with it. Placement stung and burned for about 5-10 minutes and then he was pain free for remainder of time it was placed. He had no trouble sleeping or playing sports. Each time we had a new device placed it got easier and easier. The IB-Stim support team was absolutely amazing! They were so responsive and made the process go quickly and smooth. One of the best companies I have ever dealt with! It’s a miracle to have our son happy and healthy and living a pain free life like all children should have!

This device is life changing. Liam had his longest span of manageable to no pain for almost three months. I got to watch Liam riding his bike to his friends houses, climbing trees, regaining independence, finishing three Harry Potter books, and so much more! He was able to trick or treat, celebrate Diwali, Christmas, take winter MAP tests. His raw scores rose 10 points from fall (when he was in pain) to winter (no pain). It is really life changing what IB-Stim does for families.

My son Austin has dealt with stomach issues since he was born. He would vomit every day. For years we dealt with doctors not really focusing on the pain and dismissing it as something that was not serious. After changing doctors and seeing a gastroenterologist, we started getting some diagnoses. He was diagnosed with eosinophilic esophagitis (EOE) at age 5. After treatment, the vomiting improved but the constant stomach pain remained. For years following the EOE diagnosis we couldn’t figure out why he was still in so much pain. We had every test, scan or scope possible. Everything came back OK. It was super frustrating getting no real answers when I could see my son was in so much pain. Finally late last year our gastroenterologist diagnosed him with Functional Abdominal pain and informed us of this new treatment. Without hesitation I said, ‘let’s do it!” By this point I was desperate and would give anything a shot. So glad I did. His pain is gone! All it took was 4 weeks and the pain he had been feeling for 12 years just simply disappeared.

IB-Stim took my son’s pain away in a matter of weeks. The pain diminished little by little as the weeks went by. Week one, he says he experienced little difference at all. Week 2 he still said he was experiencing pain, but it was not as intense. By week 3 he said he only experienced pain a few times during the week (as opposed to daily pain) and by the time week 4 ended, he experienced zero pain. No pain at all for the entire week!

He no longer has to go to the school nurse’s office or have to be sent home. He has been able to stay for the entirety of his football practices. He no longer complains about the stabbing pain. The pain is not affecting his time at school, sports or fun times with his friends. His life is back to “normal”, a normal that sadly he never had experienced before because of the constant pain he had been experiencing his entire life.

The patient support representative was very attentive and answered all of my questions quickly.

I am so happy this treatment is available for patients like my son. I never thought this day would come. The relief I feel as a mom to see my son happy and not in pain, is something that money can’t buy. I am beyond thankful for IB-Stim and all that it has done for my son. Thank you!
