| Re: Im Confused about IBS
First of all a doc can't really tell you if you have IBS without certain tests. You need to see a gastro doc and get a real diagnosis. Don't worry about offending your doc by asking for a referral this is your health and quaulity of life your talking about.
You also don't mention if your a C (constipated) or D (having Diarehha) (Never could spell it) or your an A (Altenating) where you have both. That would be a big help to those wanting to help with suggestions.
The biggest suggestions I have either way is start paying attention to what triggers your problem. I had to go the whole way to eating just rice and adding things in until I fiqured it out. The other thing is we all should be on a soluible fiber suppliment like Metemucil or citrucel or any of the many others out there. It helps by bulking up your stool if your a D and it helps by making you more regular if your a C. Start slow! With a teaspoon and work your way up. You may have to try more then one until you find what works for you. If you do try a suppliment, increase your water intake it helps the fiber work.
Good luck! I hope this helped.
Love,
Jamie
