Thank you Alicia for those kind words! I dont get frustrated easily. But I guess on top of the open heart surgery and other stressors in my life, IBS was like the straw that broke the camels back. I just got to a point where I said ok, thats it I'm done now. I am sure all of you have been through it where you just go through a huge amount of time when you just feel aweful all the time. I can remember having IBS symptoms when I was younger but I self-diagnosed myself as being lactose intolerant. Then things just got way worse and it seemed that no matter what I ate I had D and camps. It seems like things get better then I have an attack. Argh, oh well. I try to make the best of it I just feel depressed a lot of the times. Plus my anxiety is ridiculous! I've never been anxious like this before. But now I am nervous all the time that I am going to get sick and I'm nervous being around lots of people or out in public. Anxiety and depression runs in my family so I've always tried to keep a close watch on it. But it seems like depression and anxiety kindof come with IBS. Is that true? It seems like thats the case for other people I have talked to. Also I was wondering if anyone else had problems with artificial sugar and flavoring? It seems I cant eat ketchup anymore! I tried that with my plain chicken the other night and that didnt work out so well. Oh well, the fibercon I think does help, but I am not sure if its actually the fibercon or the fact that I only eat chicken and white rice. Every once and I while I get daring and have a plain baked potato! Anyways thank you so much for your words of advice and support. My doctor just prescribed me Bentyl along with Fibercon. If anyone knows anything about Bentyl please let me know how youve done with it. Because it seems like if theres a side effect, I will get it. Thanks again!!
