Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Not so stable anymore... back on the fiber wagon!

Hi all,

My stomach has been big time bad for the past little while (I am assuming due to stress mostly, and some poor food choices as well) and I have been just trying to ignore it, but now that I am hoping to start working full time again I know I need to get it back under control.
I am having D, a lot of pain and big time bloat (can wear different belt loops day to day!).
The last time I saw the GI doc, she gave me a thing to take Metamucil wafers and Adrian went out and got them for me. If he hadn't gone to get them, I would have just started back on some Prodium that I already had but I thought I would try it since we had it.
So far, no change but it's only been one day!
Since it has been so long that I have posted for tummy advice and the pain has been really bad, I just thought I'd ask what people are doing for pain in case there is anything I'd forgotten about or if anyone has tried any new ideas!
I am taking immodium every day now, and would really like to NOT have to take it anymore but I do have quite a long commute if I get this job to start Tuesday so will have to be big time safe until then!

Thanks guys!
