Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Lili,
I am fairly new here, too. Heather has a list at this link
(http://www.helpforibs.com/diet/what_to_eat.asp), that gives you a list of foods to eat when you can't eat anything else. It really did help me so much, and might be a good place to start. My pain subsided and my intestines calmed down by eating items from that list. I am overweight, too, and I've lost 10 pounds already on her diet. I'm never hungry either and I wasn't even trying to lose weight. It just happened. I think that following Heather's suggestions on this site and asking questions as you need (the people here are so helpful!); would be a good start. It sure was for me (and still is)! I don't know anything about Levsin either, but you can call a Pharmacist and ask them anything about it. They've always thoroughly answered my questions! I hope you get to feeling better soon. Keep us posted!
P.S. Something else I learned on this site, is that if you aren't satisfied with your Doctor's diagnosis, then insist on testing to make sure!! Everyone here tells you that testing is essential. I'm learning this one for the first time myself, and I'm 49! (I think the older I get, the less I know!) Hope this helps a little!
