I agree! These are some of the funniest posts I've read. How can Dr's be so stupid?

I DO get migraines and I have to say the IBS is much worse! You're right - migraines don't cause you to make a mad dash for the bathroom and soil yourself in public! I'd rather lie down in a dark room with an ice pack on my head than be sweating and cramping up in the john - or panicking that I couldn't make it to one in time.

A few that come to mind:
"Drink a big cup of coffee." (from my GP, as a cure for my headaches. When I pointed out that this was murder on my IBS, she was like, "Why?")
"Get a boyfriend." (from a psychiatrist, as a solution to my IBS and eating disorder issues.)
"It looked kinda funny in there. But no, I don't think anything was wrong." (from my GI, after my colonoscopy. excuse me, FUNNY?? i'm not familiar with that medical terminology, could you put it in layman's terms?)
"Eat through the pain." (from a GI)
Plus all the Metamucil, raw veggies, fibre and water advice that we've all been told.

Hey all this isnt IBS related but still quite stupid.
After my open heart surgery and I was home recovering, I was on a heart moniter to watch my heart rate. Well I woke up one morning and couldnt catch my breath. My rate was 280. So I called my cardiologists office and told the nurse what was going on and he said I needed to get to the closest ER right now. So naturally I panicked a bit and started to cry.
He said "Oh, don't worry, youre not going to die or anything."
Yeah... thats such a relief!

Tonight after swimming, two ladies were talking about breakfast. One makes fried ground moose meat and mixes that with oatmeal. I grimmaced! Ugh!! My tum would never be able to handle it. She asked why such the face. I said I have trouble with wild game, red meat, etc. (the condensed version of the diet) The 2nd lady asked why. I said I have IBS. To which the 1st lady replied, oh, my nephew HAD that. Don't you know there is a surgery for that now? He had it and he's fine. Maybe you should look into it!  Yep, there's some special surgery none of us have ever heard of that is a read-set-cure!! (WE WISH!!)
Just thought you'd all like a chuckle at that one!!!

This thread is priceless. Let me add my two cents:
I have a 36 degree curvature in my spine (scoliosis). When I was 10 years old and it started to curve and hurt like everything-I would lay awake at night and cry from the pain--my distraught parents were told by at least 4 doctors that it was "growing pains" and I would get over it. Well I got used to it. After I finished growing the pain stopped but the scoliosis is still there.
My GI told me to cure my IBS by not thinking about it so much!!! I could tell he had never had IBS.
