Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while because I have been sick. I have decided to suck it up and try the IBS diet. I thought it could be lactose intolerance, but cut out my lactose and still the same simptoms. The doctor wants me to do blood work to test for food allergies and immune defects. He gave me some medication that was spoose to treat a stomach virus if I have one, but it just made me worse and the simptoms haven't cleared up. I think that it is IBS as the other doctor has diagnosised me (allthough he was very blazae about the whole thing, which is what made me question it.) I don't like bllod work but am thinking of getting it done just incase. My blood work has always come back normal for the last few years while I have been this way so I am not expecting any different this time either. So I am going to suck it up and try the diet to see if it works. It's going to take 6-8 weeks to get it from the book shop because I'm in Australia and they have to get it shipped. In the mean time I think that I can just stay away from the foods mentioned on this site and try the yoga and things. Hopefully it will go alright. Can you all send me some will power!!! Thanks for listening.
Cheers,
Amari
