Hi Deb

Sorry to here about your trouble. Unfortunately doctors can be incredibly ignorant about IBS. You totally have the right attitude with the diagnose or fire approach. I did that with my last doctor and I'm much happier with my new one. http://www.ratemds.com/social/ is very useful when it comes to checking out doctors.

I would definitely recommend Heather's diet but I would also check out the criteria http://www.helpforibs.com/footer/rome_guidelines.asp for diagnosing IBS. Doctor have a disturbing habit of diagnosing IBS without referring to this. Other possible causes for your problems are listed at http://www.helpforibs.com/footer/ibs.asp. You might also want to consider habba's syndrome as a cause.

Immodium helps me a lot as does yoga and the EFI diet.
Hope this helps!
