I have not yet been told I have IBS by my dr even tho I have complained to her for years about my gas, bloating and misery, she just says take a gas pill. I have been told I have prolapse rectumn and I believe this is part of the bowel movement problems/bloating/etc. I have real bad constipation. I find that all the fiber meds just make me lots more miserable and do not help my being able to have a BM. everything I eat, no mattr how amounts makes me like I am 9 months bloated with sick feelings and difficulty getting around. I get so depressed, and of course the dr just gave me zoloft, which I just recently stopped as I am still depressed after taking them for over two yrs. any advice? I have tried colonic's supplements, magnesium after meals, gasx ---

First of all, keep posting your questions. You are welcome here. If I were you, I would get another doctor NOW. There is no excuse for letting you suffer like this. Get to a doctor who will listen to your symptoms. Ask to see a GI specialist. Get the tests done and get to the bottom of it. Read every inch of this website. There is a wealth of information that can be very helpful. And, as I said, no question is too small. Take care.

Hi there - I'm going to send you to some links with really in-depth info about IBS and dietary management of symptoms. The first link is First Year IBS a guide to everything about IBS. It will give you info about proper diagnosis, research, symptoms, etc. It sounds to me like you might need some more tests run.
For detailed dietary information, read through Eating for IBS
This should get you the info you need to start - see what you think and if you have any questions about the info.
Best,
Heather
