Kammill:
I have a lot of the symptoms you have , especially the pain between the breastbone, but after mutliple tests I was told, years ago, that it is severe acid reflux. For a while I did not have so many problems with my stoools but now am full blown A- currently pretty D- but for a year I had several bowel movements every other day and they were loose and watery but by no mean D. I also have pain in my back occasionally and excessive gas. Lots and lots to the point that it is embarrasing. I am also very frequently nasuaeted and it is a little upsetting that I cannot take my phennegin with my pamine. SO I do dry toast and crackers and something called pregger pops to help with the nasuea. I do have the stomach pains and cramps at this point but did not until recently.
But unlike you I have had my gallbladder out, several ulcers, gastritis and now IBS. I also cannot eat hardly any fast food, other than sandwiches and have to make them go light on the condiments, no pizza, mexican and very little chinese. If I do overindulge I pay the price, a weekend of that, put me on the floow last night with the pain. I can also eat vegetables within moderation but no cabbage and have to watch the salad.
My family doc is actually not agreeing witht he GI's diagnosing of IBS so I find that a little disconcernting.
