Hey! No, I haven't been officially diagnosed. My doctor says that he believes it to be IBS-but I have to rule out Crohn's disease, before he makes the official diagnosis. I already had the tests for the blood in the stool and/or parasites-it was negative. It is just odd...again, as you said, not to be gross-but about 4 days ago, my stool was soft and now it is hard and it makes it very difficult. I am actually feeling a bit better tonight. I took Bethany's suggestion and changed the fiber I was on. I also exercised and had a light dinner. I am hoping I don't wake up extremely bloated like I did this morning.
I do want to thank you for the suggestion. Believe me, I will do just about anything to get back to "normal". Thank you for your thoughts!
