So Discouraged Tonight...

Hi
I am so discouraged tonight and about at my wits end with this IBS. I'm IBS-D and have been trying so many things to try and stablize. I've worked up to 5tsp of acacia/day now and have been taking Librax every morning to stop the spasms. My latest 'test' was to drop all my vitamins and supplements and estrogen to see if I noticed any improvement. Well, not much; maybe a little. What I have noticed this week is much more gas pains and the last couple of days severe bloating after eating. Can only eat a very small amount. With all my IBS I've never had this problem. Plus, have experienced more nausea in the mornings when my usual IBS attacks come. My husband thinks the time has come to have my doc send me to a GI and do a series of tests to see if there's something else going on. I have scoliosis and the chiropractor has been working on my back with the idea that that is causing my IBS which I think could be to a certain extent. I do know when you can't get ahold of the discouragement, it's hard to fight this thing. Now I'm wondering if the acacia is causing the gas and bloating;yet, up until I started my vitamin/supplement test a week ago, I seemed to be tolerating the acacia ok, although it wasn't totally eleminating my IBS symptoms. Any ideas? I'm certainly open to anything tonight.
Thanx for listening. I just dont' know where to turn or what to try next. These gas pains and bloating are so miseralble
