Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I had food poisoning in July and Flagyl stopped the problem.
Since then I have been 50X more sensitive, especially to dairy that had not bothered me before so I am totally avoiding it.

I tried Questran about 2 weeks ago and it made me sick as a dog feeling full up to my tongue. Then I took some immodium so I could go to PT for my back not knowing what I was doing. Previously I have taken up to 12 immodium in a day and had a BM the next day not -C.

I felt constipated so instead of a suppository, I ate my first hamburger in 3 years and instead of D in 30 min, it took 12 hours.

I went to the GI doc yesterday and if I had had a gun with me I'd have shot him. He has a one track mind and if it is IBS it has no other components even though I have been having probs since they removed my GB and new probs since food poisoning..

The minute I started asking ?? about some of the medical research journals he told me he had no more time. Just stop Nexium, Celexa and take lactaid before each meal and wants a stool sample to look for parasites. All of the changes he made were the results of questions that I asked about meds causing D--he only wanted to talk about the old fashioned remedies---not even fibers.

I have had no protein in 2 weeks--even bought baby rice cereal and mixed it with applesauce for meals.

I am about to order peppermint caps and teas.

I am going to find a new doc who appreciates a patient with a brain. And who will listen to me and be at least a bit symphathetic.
