Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Thank you Marilyn!!! I have had IBS since about 1998 and really went thorugh hell for the first few years. Then I kinda had a break and seemed to be doing pretty well except for the times of severe stress and then I had other medical issues that kept me more occupied. But lately I have noticed that I have times of problems with my digestion and other things and them I seem to be able to get back on track. What I find is the hardest thing for me is controlling the stress and fear when I have an attack. As I seem to find my mind recalling the terrible times in the past so trying to calm down and relax seems to be a challenge.

I was wondering if others seem to find that they have problems with the hiccups??? I seem to get or have chronic hiccups. Does anyone else experience this??? For awhile my doctors thought I had reflux but I do not think that is the problem. I hate that medical science seems to want to just treat your symptoms and not find the underlying problems.

I hope that others are finding solutions and let me express that Heather is the only person that I know for certain is an Angel or super help in this IBS journey!!!!
