I agree. This is a lot to comprehend, but read as much as you can about the diet and start RIGHT NOW!! You will be amazed at how much better you feel even at first. I just started taking an anti-anxiety med and I teetered back and forth over whether I should, but it sounds like your anxiety is really taking over. I used to be that way before finding the diet. Although never as much immodium as you are taking. You want to get yourself to a point where you can control your ibs with food and maybe the anixety meds on a daily basis and then save the immodium for rough days or big events. You'll have to decrease slowly, but as you increase your SF, you'll be able to take less immodium. Of course make sure you see a GI to rule out any other digestive problems (I have microscopic colitis AND IBS but the diet and Acacia help both). Hang in there. You're in a good place and on your way by finding this site.
