hi- I've been scanning through the forums and can't seem to find an answer to my issue, so I figured I'd just post (first time!).
I've had IBS-D for ~8 years, in the last 6 months it's been fairly out of control. I drive my mom (82) and the control issue is a concern (are we near a bathroom?) I've been on a severely restricted low residue diet (white bread, saltines, pasta, rice, potatoes) for about a month and even that makes me gassy and nauseous. My GI dr did another round of tests for bacteria (negative) and wanted to put me on Questran- I'm super reactive to meds and feared for severe constipation...but that still isn't answering the nausea question. the doc prefers I not take as many Imodium as I was taking (2 every other day).
Wondering if anyone has any ideas? I miss food! I'm taking the peppermint caps (having reflux at night- when I take my Prilosec, go figure) and using the peppermint and fennel tea. Nothing tastes the same, from the teas to pretzels. I'm lost.
Any ideas are appreciated.
