Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I went to my family doctor tonight and asked to be put on an anti-depressant as I've been having a REALLY tough time lately. He prescribed Celexa and I will start it tomorrow morning. It is supposed to help with the IBS too but I'm not holding my breath.

I told my doctor about the horrible GI specialist and I don't think they're allowed to say aything bad because he really bit his tongue. He didn't looked please at all and kept telling me how sorry he was that I had such a rough experience with him.

I also asked about whether or not he thought I could have Crohns (as the GI doc eluded to). The friggin JERK GI told me that but in his report to my doctor said that he wants more testing done to rule it out! He led me believe that I was in the earlt stages of it.

My good doc said it sounded very unlikely because I am lacking a few of the main symptoms and he does not suspect it...but he wants me to have a colonsocopy soon to be sure. He's going to refer me to a new GI for this of course. I was so upset when I told him about my appt. that I actually started crying. I usually try to hold it together a bit better but couldn't hold it in.

Anyhow, I guess this has been some progress and I am hopeful that things will fall into place once day. I can't give up yet. Thank god for good, empathetic, kind doctors because I really like mine a lot.
