Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Thought i better introduce my self!
My names's claire, i'm 32 and i been having problems for over 2 years now, since my mum was taken seriously ill, i went to my gp who advised i'd need a blood test to determine a cause before she could treat me, i have a severe phobia of needles so this was not an option. I have basically eliminated things and possibilities over the last 2 years and i'm not fairly sure i have IBS. i have started taking peppermint oil tablets in the last months and had my first cup of fennel tea last night, yuk, i've also been taking fibersure for about 2 weeks now, but as soon as i get too the supermarket in the morning i will be switching too benefiber.
My main symptoms are constipation and wind/bloating. Really gets me down, i'm currently trying for a baby too but its very difficult to be in the "mood" when i feel like rubbish all the time. Sounds like you guys all know what i mean going on previous threads.
Any way, hello and this is me!
