Wow, what a story! Amazing about the prep. I never heard of that happening before. I'm sorry you went through all that. I know about holding a chamberpot under my mouth as I'm on the pot, with stuff coming out both ends at the same time. It's not fun. I am SOOOO sorry for you.
But then, you enjoyed the drugs? Yeah, I wish they could bottle that stuff! I actually kissed my GI after the procedure! And he was no 30-year-old cutie! EW.
Well, it's over now. And you now know what you have -- and DON'T have. That's great. (Well, it's not great that you have IBS, it's great that you have a diagnosis.)
Yes, you definitely need Heather's books, especially "The First Year." Can you tolerate peppermint? Heather sells peppermint caps which work as a great antispasmodic (for those infamous cramps). Did your doc give you any prescription for the cramping? Did he tell you to take Citrucel? (That's all my GI did for me.)
Welcome to the Club, Girlfriend. I'm sorry you're a member, but we're all very supportive -- after all, we're all in the same boat.
