Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: New, please help, more about me

I am in the process of getting diagnosed. The 1st step for me was to see my allergist. He has done a lot of tests and I am just waiting for all the results to come back. I have researched (in the past 2 months) as many gut problems as I can and my symptoms don't match most. I don't have gas, belching, acid reflex, nausea, colds, fever, chills,etc. My symptoms are mostly pain on the left side and in the gut, bloating/ uncomforable gut feeling. My stools are nomal except for the 2-3 days. I feel a closer kinship to IBS than anything else. Plus celiac, osteoporosis and IBS go hand in hand. That's why I am trying it. When I was eating gluten free and before this happened to me, I would have bouts of unexplained "D". I may be talking to soon but I DO feel better eating like this! I have not eaten rice or potatos in a very long time, maybe a year. I have been scared of them. In the past they caused me a great deal of bloating and discomfort. I am anxious to eat them again now that I know this way. I am taking it very slow.
