Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Why am I not getting better?

Hi there!

When I read your post, I thought that you were so unlucky cause it seems to me like you're doing everything right and it's still not working...

Have you maybe thought about seeing a new Gastro Dr? The first one I saw was awful and then I switched to this other one (who is younger and most probably more up to date on ibs) and he's so much better! When I went to my first appointment with this new doctor, I told him why I wouldn't see the first one and made my expectations clear. He really did take me seriously and has helped me a lot... I don't know if this can actually help you or not... Another thing that helped me was hypnosis. Then again, I made sure he was very qualified. Have you seen a nutritionnist? THis could be something else you could try.

I don't wanna seem like I'm giving you too many advice .. It's just that when I was in terrible pain (like you) It helped me to know that there were still many things left I could try. I actually made a list of those (okay... don't laugh!!)
and just the fact that I knew I could eventually try them if I wasn't feeling better later on helped me get rid of this cause of stress (oh my god!! what will I do if it doesn't work??!!! -- this was my biggest cause of stress -- and you know how important it is to feel relax, eh?!!)

You're probably not very far from seeing improvements. Don't hesitate to talk to us on the board!
Take very good care of yourself
Bye!!
