This isn't IBS-related, but I was told by a doctor after I was diagnosed with ADHD that I needed "to find some hobbies". Yup, that's going to help me pay attention at WORK!

When I was in high school, my IBS got so bad that I would throw up from the pain...DAILY! Literally, I'd come home from school, throw up and repeat...
So i went to the doc and my Mom, an RN/BSN suggested some pain meds for the intense cramping. He didn't want to give me any pain meds b/c"
"They will affect my personality and my relationship with others. Try tylenol. It's just as good"

Classic. No wonder it took me so long to get IBS under control!

Immediately after me spending about 3 minutes talking about how I suspected dairy giving me pain and making me constipated, I got "yeah, alright, try eating Activia every day"!

Other then that I also got "eat more oatmeal", lol!

Probably when my gynocologist said to me at 9 mths pregnant "don't worry, we have ways of getting the baby out if it gets stuck"! Not very comforting. But he was right. First child was vacuum suction, the second was forceps!

My first gyno appt. ever was when I was 16. I had severe periods. I went to the guy who delivered me. He gave me an exam and then later he met with me in his office and he said, "You look so much like your mother". Eek! Um, couldn't he have said that BEFORE the exam!!!???

We should put all these "stupid things doctors say" in a book! We could get rich and retire and not have to work at high-stress jobs that are bad for our IBS.

"It's just IBS and now that you know about it, it will probably go away."

"I'd rather have your IBS-D than my terrible migranes" - Since when did her migranes cause her to make dashes for the toilet and soil herself in public?!!!

"It's all in your mind." - Well now i just feel stupid and like it's my fault!

My mother was told she had a "bad case of flu" when she was actually pregnant. Her flu has lasted 32 years so far!!!

P.S,. this is the funniest thread of mails i've ever read!
