Hi. I have been reading these message boards for quite a while and thought I'd get some advice from some of you who have been struggling with the same things. I was recently diagnosed with ibs- combined type about 2 months ago. I have really been struggling with this. I am in my mid-20s and am going on a trip with a bunch of friends in about 10 days. Needless to say I have been extremely worried about traveling (the long plane ride), eating out and going out with my frends. Lately my symptoms seem to be much worse. Over the last few days, I have had severe stomach pain after eating practically anything (even fat free crackers). My friends and family say it's just stress. I am on Bentyl, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Should I be worried that this isn't IBS? My doctor never ran any other tests and just assumed it was IBS. I am planning to see another doctor tomorrow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
