Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I am a new member and I don't think I have posted here before. Im so glad I found a website that deals with IBS. I have suffered from it for years and although I do know some of the food triggers, Im still at a loss as to what to really eat that will help me. I eat yogurt and take Digestive Advantage pills for IBS and its helps a little. I am sick right now and have been so bloated and have this upper right side pains that sometimes go around my side into my back. I have a Gastro doc I have beem seeing for 5 years, but other than give me a few drugs and some tests, she has not really helped me. I sometimes get scared cause I think all this bloating, constipation and sickness I feel is something serious like a tumor that has not be diagnosed or it will kill me one day. I have a vivid imagination lol. Anyway I have to stay away from fatty foods, spicy foods and even though it will be hard Im going to give up my beloved 2 cups of coffee in the mornings and my raw onions which I love in salads. Im so so sick of being sick all the time. Use to this thing bothered me occasionally when I ate fatty foods and now it bothers me almost every day. Well thanks for letting me post at your forum. Hope to make some friends and get some support for this terrible disorder. Can anyone tell me why I get so much gas and it gets trapped and Im so miserable...barb
