Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

OK - I don't know if this is right board or not, but I'm desperate today. I need some insight into these crazy and scarey symptoms. I ate junk - i.e. baked tostitos and chocolate on Saturday, but felt OK - other than light bloating.
Yesterday at noon, I decided to be really radical and had a salad w/ letuce, baby english peas, tomatoes (w/o seeds - diverticulosis), little shredded cheese, Boars Head turkey & honey mustard dressing + a baked potato (nothing on it) and a few saltines. I have been in hell ever since. Severe boating, chest/diaphragm pressure, anxiety/shaking, scared, BM yesterday, managed to sleep little last night - thought it had subsided, but awakened w/ same symptoms - 2 BMs this AM -shaking from head to toe - cramping, weakness in limbs, mouth extremely dry....plus, sinus symptoms - which makes me think food allergy/intollerance????
Does this sound like IBS or a food intollerance/reaction - could it be too much sodium from the turkey?????
It's so bad, I'm having to stay home from school. Sorry, guys, just need some reassurance. Don't want to go to GI, he'll just order another endosopy/colonoscopy - especially since I've had some blood due to "hems" - don't want to go to clinic - they'll think it's cardio, due to upper GI pressure - my regular dr. will say it's just my sensitive gut.
Blessings w/ Hugs & Thanks - Dorothy
