Re: POLL: How did your IBS start?       06/24/03 07:35 AM Edit Reply Quote michele Reged: 06/02/03 Posts: 6886 Loc: southeastern michigan Mine started when I was about 15. I would have terrible stomach aches and constipation. My mom has IBS so she said that was what I had too. Even though I would miss school and cry all the time she never took me to the DR. We didn't have insurance. When I was about 18 and got my own insurance I went to the DR. They told me to eat more fiber and sent me home! I was at work one day about a year later and actually passed out from all the toxins built up in my system because I hadn't had a bm in about 2 1/2 weeks! Someone from my work drove me to the hospital and I was admitted. They did a pelvic (thought maybe pelvic inflammatory diease) nothing. Did an ultra sound, nothing. Did a D & C and laproscope through my belly button, just to "look around", nothing. Finally did a colonoscopy and nothing. So they decided I had IBS and sent me home with stool softners and Librax! I have tried all the IBS drugs, none seemed to worked for more than a couple weeks. I found Heathers book and this web site about 6 weeks ago. The diet is helping, I'm still working on finding my personal tolerances. I still have good and bad days but I am hoping to get stable and stay stable with the support of this board and Heathers diet! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
