Yes--I am a D with a capital D!!
Anyway, what I meant to say was that one day I had too much trail mix!!Yikes!
I know that I have been lucky--I am taking Lotronex, which I am phasing out slowly as well as Colazol--I got great results from the Lotronix at first, but still had significant pain, weight loss and then the bad D attacks started again with no rhyme or reason. I had the colonoscopy done on Jan 6th of this year which determined there was more going on than just the IBS--I think that the combination of the diet with the massive doses of Colazol for the IBD and a great Doc are the reason for my rapid stabilization.
Feel free to envy me--I don't mind--I know I am one of the lucky ones! I still have bad days (there is something about Mondays in particular and I really love my job), but when I think back to how sick I was over the holidays, I feel really good about where I am now.
Best Wishes!! Keep looking for answers. I have appreciated the support and comraderie I have felt as a "lurker" for the past few months--this is great place to be, especially on the bad days!
