Hello!
I started feeling the syptoms of IBS about a year and a half ago when I went through a divorce and stressful situations, but it was somewhat manageable...I would be constipated, and every now and then deal with the awful cramps and hot sweats from not being able to go to the restroom. However, recently it is getting worse...i started noticing it more at night. I would go out to dinner and if something did not suit my stomach than I would have to run to the bathroom in pain until I was able to let the diarrea out. So, my doctor said it sounded like IBS. I bought Heather's books and have started on the soluble fiber diet, eating oatmeal for breakfast with some papaya, taking metamucil pills during the day...However, I continue to feel nauseaus and gassy all day long....I don't have bathroom urgencies which I think means I am more constipated than diarrea prone, but it seems to fluctuate. The cramping is gone, but my stomach rumbles and is upset most of the day. I now have a regulr bowel movement every morning when I wake up, but always feel like I could go more and can't until the next morning. By the evening, the symptoms get worse. So it is tough to eat dinner. I am losing weight and don't want to since I am already a thin person. So I am left with the gassy and nauseus feeling. Does this go away? Does anyone have a diet suggestion that can help? Thanks!
