Hum?? right know I could use a shoulder of someone who understnads about IBS.. My Dr. finally said I have it and my hunny is going eat food and don't worry about the IBS.
The Dr. wants me to start Paxil and I'm very skeptical..
Feel like having a great baskin robbins banana royal..

Maybe you could ask your Dr to consider another medication within the same class that doesn't have as many side effects. It isn't any fun to get the diagnosis, but I'd suggest staying away from the ice cream. My sweet tooth seems to stay pretty satisfied on this diet and the rice dream ice cream is really good. Sorry you are having a bad day.

Don't do it! You REALLY don't want that Baskin-Robbins. I KNOW you don't. Instead, go down to the health food store and get yourself some Soy Dream mocha fudge frozen dessert. OOOOh, BABY! I just got some today, and I'm not sharing with ANYONE. Don's gonna have to pig out on saltines -- the mocha fudge is MINE.

OOHH!! but it sounds so good. I can't bring myself to the pain. I bought whole soy vanilla bean ice cream, but haven't tried it yet. I can't decided if I like the soy ice cream yet. Dr. wants me on a low dose of paxil 10mg. says it won't cause as many side effects.
