I've had IBS for 2 years but just found this website and have been following the IBS diet for about a week. The IBS has been unbearable but the worst problem for me now is the resultant hemorrhoids that I can't seem to get under control. My gastroenterologist has been no help saying my only hope is to get the IBS under control for which he gave me Bentyl or surgery for the hemorrhoids. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Thanks.

Welcome to the forums Jan....
Sorry you are not feeling well. We all know how tough it can be. There's lots of great information on this site. And lots of support from people who are going through the same things.
I'm not sure what to tell you about your situation, other than don't give up and if it requires getting a second opinion, then do so. It takes time to get IBS under control....and you will have good and bad days even after that....but it does get better.

Thanks for your advice. I know it has only been 1 week so I will hang in there.

I had a terrible problem with multiple hemorrhoids ... finally had them removed surgically, and have had no problem since then. Visit with another doctor... a surgeon perhaps.
